BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Technical Field
The present invention concerns a system for the realization of gold-work and/or jewellery articles, out of precious metals and not, comprising a plurality of modules, designed as intermediate and end annular elements, all provided with coupling means, of the male-female alternate kind, so as to obtain, by the connection in sequence of said elements, compact but different products, that may be varied in time according to the demands.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The advantages deriving from the present invention are many and considerable as suggested below. complete elimination of the weldings; consistent one with the other, that may be transformed and that even transform themselves, that are able to change--completely or only partially--their use, e.g. from rings into ear-rings making use of means for coupling intermediate annular and end annular elements together so as to create a system of articles consistent with each other; the user may choose and compose articles that may be assembled according to his own taste, or may extend his purchase in time; transform it and to adapt it to the changed life and sentimental demands during the whole life of the user, as already claimed by the same applicant in patent applications no. RM 93A000772, RM 93A000223, RM 93A000690 and RM 94A000501; and hooking additions, so as to be inserted in the multifunctional system.
A remarkable feature of the present invention consists of the modification and/or arrangement, during the realization, of the measure of the internal diameter or a ring and/or the wedding ring in particular, so as to allow its adaptation to possible anatomic changes of the user in his lifetime or to change its application, e.g., for wearing it at one finger instead of another one, or from one person to another one.
All said sectors or portions of sectors of the whole structures of the jewels may be arranged for being personalized with the addition of interchangeable modules.
By making of the means for coupling, according to the present invention the connection of intermediate and end annular elements is possible, for realizing modular and transformable jewels, e.g., from rings into different rings and/or into ear-rings and/or bracelets or other. Thus, portions of a jewel may be replaced by other portions of other articles, different or already arranged, for varying the aesthetic aspect, as for example when changing the stone of a ring with the one of a bracelet.
