Decorative articles and ornaments

Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for manufacturing an alloy for the decorative article, comprising the processes of: superimposing a plurality of alloys having different colors; heating the alloys; performing a metal diffusion of the alloys on a surface, wherein the alloys are mixed; forming a gradation of the materials across an interface; and processing a mass of the materials to adjust an alloy having a gradation of a color formed and appearing on the surface based on metal diffusion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A decorative article comprising a plurality of plates, wherein the plurality of plates is diffused together to form a solid plate and the solid plate produces a gradation of color appearing on at least one external surface. 
     
     
         2 . The decorative article of  claim 1 , wherein the solid plate is an alloy body of gold, palladium, and platinum alloys. 
     
     
         3 . The decorative article according to  claim 2 , wherein the alloy body includes gold, palladium, and platinum alloys of different colors. 
     
     
         4 . The decorative article according to  claim 3 , wherein the gradation of color is due to the mixing of the different colors of the alloys. 
     
     
         5 . The decorative article according to  claim 1 , wherein the gradation of color is predetermined based on the alloys of the plurality of plates and the order of the plurality of plates. 
     
     
         6 . The decorative article according to  claim 1 , wherein a predetermined force is applied to the plurality of plates based on the alloy of the plurality of plates. 
     
     
         7 . The decorative article according to  claim 6 , wherein a predetermined temperature is achieved on the at least one surface of the plurality of plates based on the alloy of plurality of plates. 
     
     
         8 . A method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article comprising:
 aligning a plurality of plates of predetermined material compositions; and   diffusing the plurality of plates together along at least one external surface;   wherein a gradation of color is formed on the at least one external surface based on the predetermined material composition of the plurality of plates.   
     
     
         9 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of plates are made from a gold, palladium, or platinum alloy of different colors. 
     
     
         10 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein across the interface of the plurality of plates the alloy of the plurality of plates are mixed together forming a gradation of the color. 
     
     
         11 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein a force is applied to the at least one external surface based on the material composition of the plurality of plates. 
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein a predetermined temperature is achieved on the at least one external surface based on the material composition of the plurality of plates. 
     
     
         13 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , further comprising, calculating a color gradation on the at least one surface, wherein the plurality of plates are selected to achieve the calculated color gradation. 
     
     
         14 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of plates are comprised of an alloy of at least 37.5 percent gold. 
     
     
         15 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein a portion of the plurality of the plates are diffused. 
     
     
         16 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 15 , wherein the diffused portions of the plurality of plates are a unitary component 
     
     
         17 . The method of manufacturing an alloy body for a decorative article of  claim 8 , wherein a smooth transition between the colors of the plurality of plates is formed. 
     
     
         18 . A process of forming a decorative article comprising:
 identifying a predetermined color gradation;   selecting at least two plates of a predetermined alloys and predetermined colors;   diffusing the at least two plates together along a surface, wherein a color gradation is formed across the surface.   
     
     
         19 . The process of forming a decorative article of  claim 18 , wherein the diffusion of the at least two plates has a predetermined force and temperature based on the properties of the alloys of the at least two plates.
