Embedded gem and a method for embedding a gem

Abstract

An embedded gem and a method for embedding a gem are disclosed. An embedded gem includes a first gem and a second gem. The first gem includes a recess. The recess has an opening at the location of the table. The first gem has a first diameter. The second gem is coupled to the first gem. The second gem has a second diameter that is less than the first diameter of the first gem. The resistive fit within the recess of the first gem couples the first gem to the second gem. At least a portion of the second gem is within the recess.

         7 . The embedded gem of  claim 6 , wherein the dowel provides the resistive fit coupling the first gem to the second gem and wherein the resistive fit is between the dowel and the first gem and the dowel and the second gem. 
     
     
         8 . The embedded gem of  claim 1 , wherein the recess of the first gem comprises faceting. 
     
     
         9 . The embedded gem of  claim 1 , wherein the second gem comprises a pavilion within the recess of the first gem, the pavilion comprising faceting. 
     
     
         10 . The embedded gem of  claim 9 , wherein the recess of the first gem comprises faceting symmetrical to the faceting of the pavilion of the second gem. 
     
     
         11 . The embedded gem of  claim 9 , wherein the recess of the first gem comprises faceting non-symmetrical to the faceting of the pavilion of the second gem. 
     
     
         12 . The embedded gem of  claim 1 , wherein one or both of the first gem and the second gem comprise:
 a natural gemstone;   a synthetic gemstone;   glass;   crystal;   plastic; and   costume jewelry   
     
     
         13 . The embedded gem of  claim 1 , further comprising a light source within the recess of the first gem. 
     
     
         14 . The embedded gem of  claim 1 , wherein the second gem serves as a lens for an interior of the first gem. 
     
     
         15 . The embedded gem of  claim 14 , further comprising one of an image, a hologram, and a sculpture located between the first gem and the second gem within the recess of the first gem, wherein the second gem serving as a lens creates an optical effect. 
     
     
         16 . A method for embedding a gem, the method comprising:
 providing a first gem comprising a recess, the recess comprising an opening at the location of the table, the first gem comprising a first diameter;   providing a second gem having a second diameter, the second diameter less than the first diameter of the first gem; and   pressing the second gem into the recess of the first gem, wherein a resistive fit within the recess of the first gem coupling the first gem to the second gem is created.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein substantially no rotation is required during pressing the second gem into the first gem to create the resistive fit. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising forming the recess within the first gem. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein forming the recess within the first gem comprises removing material from the first gem, wherein the material removed comprises an inclusion. 
     
     
         20 . An embedded gem comprising:
 a first gem comprising a first diameter, the first gem further comprising an opening at the location of the table, the recess comprising faceting; and   a second gem coupled to the first gem, the second gem having a second diameter less than the first diameter of the first gem, the second gem comprising a girdle and a pavilion, and wherein the pavilion comprises faceting, wherein a resistive fit between the first gem and the second gem within the recess of the first gem couples the first gem to the second gem, the pavilion and girdle of the second gem within the recess, wherein the resistive fit is between a wall of the recess of the first gem and the girdle of the second gem, and wherein the resistive fit comprises a press fit where substantially no rotation is required for insertion or removal of the second gem.
