Assembly for setting stones and solitaires

Abstract

An assembly for setting stones and solitaires includes a setting head, made of a material of the type of a metal, even precious, and the like, within which at least one stone can be accommodated, the setting head being internally provided with a fastening component. The assembly also includes a base, constituted by a component chosen from among a shank for a ring, a coupling element for an earring, a chain for necklaces, bangles, bracelets, a brooch and the like, of shape and dimensions that are complementary to those of the setting head component and provided with a component that is complementary to the setting head component and which can be coupled thereto. The union of the setting head with the base makes it possible to create personalized modular jewelry.

1 . An assembly for setting stones and solitaires, comprising:
 a setting head, made of a material of the type of a metal, within which at least one stone can be accommodated, said setting head being internally provided with fastening means; and   a base, constituted by a component chosen from among a shank for a ring, a coupling element for an earring, a chain for a necklaces, a bangles, a bracelets, and a brooch, of shape and dimensions that are complementary to those of said means of the setting head and provided with means that are complementary to said means of the setting head and which can be coupled thereto;   wherein the union of the setting head with the base is configured for to create personalized modular jewelry.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said setting head comprises said means of the setting head without discontinuities, said means of the setting head being shaped to match the origin in the setting head. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said means of the setting head belong to an element which can be detachably mated with said setting head. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said element can be mated stably with the setting head by way of a process chosen from among casting, directly during the manufacturing step thereof, adhesive bonding, by way of special adhesives, welding, including by laser, and interlocking by interference fit. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said means are rendered integral with the base during the manufacturing step thereof by casting. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means is a fastening base that has a lower body from which a pointed raised portion provided with an undercut projects upward. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the means are the edges of a slit for accommodating the pointed raised portion of the base with consequent locking thereof in the undercut upon the application of the setting head by way of the application of a pressure. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means is a form of parallelepiped which, at the center, has vertical walls and as many mortises which are surmounted by a wedge-shaped raised portion. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening means are two flaps folded inside a component chosen from between said setting head and said element, said flaps folded inside having the ends folded to face each other so that, after having cleared said wedge, they become blocked in the underlying mortise upon the application of the setting head by way of the application of a pressure. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means is a form of parallelepiped with a central raised portion provided with a hole. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein the fastening means are the edges of a vertical slot folded inside a component chosen from among the setting head, the element and the means, said fastening means comprising a hole diametrically opposite to said slot provided at the hole of the base in order to allow the mounting of the setting head on the base and the corresponding locking with the insertion into the coaxial holes of a stud having, at the insertion end, a groove in which the folded edges engage. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means is a substantially cylindrical fastening base with a coaxial through hole. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the means are the edges of a slit inside a component chosen from between the setting head and the element, said internal slit for accommodating a stud passing through the hole of the base until it engages with an adapted groove in said edges. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the means is a form of parallelepiped with, centrally, a vertical hole and two pointed raised portions which project upward and are diametrically opposite with respect to the hole, and are also provided with a mortise below said point. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein the means are two flaps that extend inside a component chosen from between the setting head and the element and have the ends folded to face each other in order to clear said wedges thus becoming locked in the underlying mortises, upon the act of application of the setting head by way of the application of a pressure. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein a stud can be inserted in the hole with consequent contraction of the folded ends until the folded ends exit the encumbrance of the mortises, thus allowing the removal of the setting head from the base.
