ABSTRACT:
A method for mounting two or more side-by-side rows of gems in a article of jewelry so that the gems are flush to one another without spaces or mounting material being visible, and articles of jewelry produced by that method. The gems are mounted along two or more elongated adjacent channels. Direct access into the channels from the top is restricted by inwardly projecting ribs that extend along the sides of the channels for locking the mounted gems in place. Hard stones such as diamonds can simply be forced past the locking ribs. Softer gems such as Zirconium cannot withstand such forces. In the present process, one or more sections of the mounting structure are removed to provide a loading cavity aligned with each of the channels. Gems may be inserted one at a time into a cavity and can then be slid into the exposed end of the associated channel, with matting locking portions of the gem disposed beneath the locking ribs of the channel. When the predetermined gems are slid into place, the removed sections carrying associated gems are replaced to complete the rows of flush gems.
