The bottom frame 1 may be manufactured to be in different shapes, such as square shape, rectangular shape, heart shape, circular shape, elliptical shape, pentagonal shape, hexagonal shape, octagonal shape or rhombic shape, so as to satisfy diversified aesthetic demands and needs. In this embodiment, the bottom frame 1 is designed to be in a heart shape.


Based on the shape of the bottom frame 1, shapes of all other parts such as the shapes of the bottom outer frame 2 and the bottom inner frame 3 and the shape of the top frame are designed to be fit with it.


The ornament assembly with the suspension effect comprises a top frame fit and combined with the base to form an integral body, a transparent top cover 7 is fixed on the top frame and the transparent top cover 7 is fit with the transparent bottom cover 4 to form a holding space. In one embodiment, the top frame comprises a top outer frame 5 and a top inner frame 6 which are mutually combined, wherein the transparent top cover 7 is inlaid between the top outer frame 5 and the top inner frame 6. In one embodiment, the transparent top cover 7 is made of crystal glass, wherein the thickness of the transparent top cover 7 is 1-2 mm such as 1.5 mm.


The ornament assembly with the suspension effect comprises a first magnetic member 9 provided on the base. Specifically, the first magnetic member 9 is fixed at the bottom frame 1. In order to keep enough magnetic force, the first magnetic member 9 should have enough length. Preferably, the first magnetic member 9 is configured to account for 40-60% such as 50% of a circumference of the entire bottom frame 1, such that the magnetic force of the first magnetic member 9 can produce enough magnetic force.


The ornament assembly with the suspension effect comprises an ornament 8 such as a gold ornament or a jewelry diamond, a second magnetic member 10 is provided on the ornament 8, and the ornament 8 is provided in the holding space formed by the transparent bottom cover 4 and the transparent top cover 7. Herein, magnetic poles of the first magnetic member 9 and the second magnetic member 10 are oppositely arranged such that the ornament 8 is suspended in the holding space under a repulsive force of magnetic forces.


Further, enough second magnetic members 10 are selected according to the size and weight of the ornament 8, so as to guarantee that the magnetic force is enough to attract the ornament and corresponds to the repulsive force produced by the first magnetic member 9. According to one embodiment of the ornament assembly with the suspension effect provided by the present utility model, the number of the second magnetic members 10 on the ornament 8 is at least more than one, e.g. four.


Preferably, the first magnetic member 9 and the second magnetic member 10 are all magnetic stones and magnets. Or, the magnetic members are other components having the same effect.


Preferably, the bottom outer frame 2, the bottom inner frame 3, the top outer frame 5 and the top inner frame 6 in the ornament assembly with the suspension effect provided by the present utility model are all bonded together by using waterproof glue, such that the entire product has a waterproof effect.



FIG. 7 to FIG. 12 illustrate another embodiment of an ornament assembly with a suspension effect provided by the present utility model. In this embodiment, all components are unchanged and the bottom frame 1 is designed to be in a pentagonal shape, such that the entire product produces different visual effects.


Further, different patterns may be provided on the transparent bottom cover 4 and the transparent top cover 7 such that the patterns are overlapped with the suspension effect and the entire product is more attractive.


When the product provided by the present utility model is manufactured, firstly the shape of the product needs to be determined and all needed components are prepared. Starting from the metallic bottom frame 1, the crystal glass bottom cover 4 is now bonded at the bottom outer frame 2 and the bottom inner frame 3 using waterproof glue, and then the first magnetic member 9 is fixed at the metallic bottom frame 1.


Then, the second magnetic members 10 are mounted on the ornament 8, wherein the second magnetic members 10 may also be bonded on the ornament 8 using glue.


Finally, the front side of the ornament 8 on which the second magnetic members 10 are successfully bonded at the bottom of the ornament is placed on the front side of the crystal glass bottom cover 4 at the metallic bottom frame 1, and then the crystal glass top cover 7 is bonded at the top outer frame 5 and the top inner frame 6. Thereby, the ornament 8 is clamped between the two crystal glass covers and the manufacture of the entire product is completed.


Besides, different patterns may also be provided on the bottom cover and the top cover, such that the suspension effect is better and is capable of presenting different changes with different patterns.


To sum up, according to the ornament assembly with the suspension effect provided by the present utility model, the two magnetic members are oppositely provided to produce a repulsive force by adopting magnetic forces of magnetic stones and magnets, the ornament connected with the magnetic member can be suspended in the space between the transparent bottom cover and the top cover without using any mechanical mechanism, and thereby the suspension effect is achieved. Besides, for different ornaments, different magnetic stone combinations need to be adjusted again and used.


It needs to be noted that the most important cause that the product provided by the present utility mode can achieve the effect of suspension in the space is the principle that like magnetic poles repel each other in physics. Thus, the magnetic force of the magnetic stones and the magnets should be set according to the actual needs, so as to realize a stable suspension effect. Therefore, for example, when the product provided by the present utility model is placed in an electric field, the ornament is skewed. However, after the product is far away from the electric field, the suspension effect can be restored immediately. It needs to be further noted that the product provided by the present utility model is only suitable for pendants or earrings which are vertically put on, and cannot be used for products such as finger rings.


The ornament assembly with the suspension effect provided by the present utility model has the waterproof effect, the ornament can be prevented from being eroded by water mist and the service life of the ornament is prolonged.


The ornament assembly with the suspension effect provided by the present utility model is unique in creativity, the entire product structure is not complex and the ornament assembly can be easily accepted by the public.
