Jeweled article and method for making jeweled article

Abstract

A process for making a jeweled article of manufacture comprising providing a void and placing a jeweled decoration in the void. The jeweled decoration includes a housing having serrations and an upper lip, wherein the upper lip secured the jewel to the housing, and the serrations secure the housing within the void in the article. In an alternative embodiment, a bottom ring is placed at a bottom end of the jewel and is secured to the inner surface of the housing so that the jewel is secured within the housing.

1 . A process for making a jeweled decoration for an article:
 (a) creating a void having a wall in an article;   (b) composing a jeweled decoration comprising:
 a housing, and 
 a jewel within the housing, 
 wherein the housing comprises
 an inner lip at a top portion, and 
 an outer surface having at least one serration 
 
 wherein the inner lip forms a space having a smaller circumference than the circumference of the jewel; and 
   (c) placing the housing into the void,   whereby the at least one serration makes frictional contact with the wall of the void.   
     
     
         2 . The process of  claim 1 , further including the step of providing a bottom element at a bottom portion of the housing before the step of placing the housing into the void, wherein the jewel is secured between the bottom element and the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The process of  claim 2 , wherein the bottom element is a bottom ring. 
     
     
         4 . The process of  claim 2 , wherein the bottom ring is frictionally held against the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein the serration has an angle of approximately 70 degrees. 
     
     
         6 . The process of  claim 5 , wherein the void has a diameter of approximately between 2.5 and 8 mm. 
     
     
         7 . A jeweled article of manufacture, comprising:
 an article comprising a void with a wall, and   a jeweled decoration, comprising
 a housing, and 
 a jewel located within the housing, 
 wherein the housing comprises
 an inner lip at a top portion, and 
 an outer surface having at least one serration 
 
 wherein the inner lip forms a space having a smaller circumference than the circumference of the jewel; 
 wherein the jewel is located within the housing, and 
 wherein the housing is located within the void, 
   wherein the at least one serration is in frictional contact with the wall of the void.   
     
     
         8 . The jeweled article of  claim 7 , further comprising a bottom element located at a bottom portion of the housing, wherein the jewel is secured between the bottom element and the housing. 
     
     
         9 . The jeweled article of  claim 8 , wherein the bottom element is a bottom ring. 
     
     
         10 . The jeweled article of  claim 9 , wherein the serration has an angle of approximately 70 degrees. 
     
     
         11 . The jeweled article of  claim 10 , wherein the void has a diameter of approximately between 2.5 and 8 mm.
