PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mount or Holder for Coins, Stones, Miniatures, and
the like.
I, JAMES MOORE of 14 Curzon Street, Derby in the County of Derby, Jeweller,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and ornamental mount or
holder for coins, stones, miniatures and the like, to be used as a brooch, scarf pin,
pendant or other article of ornament.
In carrying out my invention I provide a ring of any suitable metal or material
and fix round same by any means a number of studs, projections, cups or settings
for small stones, brilliants and the like; between the upper edge of or projections
on these studs, cups or settings and the ring, the coin, miniature or the like is
placed; the said ring, being cut through, is opened to receive the coin, miniature
or the like and is then closed and firmly secured by means of a loop which is
attached to the said ring on one side of the opening and passed over a knob, catch
or the like fixed on the ring on the other side of the opening.
The great advantage of this mount or holder is that the coin or the like does not
have to be pierced, altered or added to in any way and may be taken out and
replaced by any inexperienced person.
Dated this 3rd day of February 1897.

An Improved Mount or Holder for Coins, Stones, Miniatures, and
the like.
I, JAMES MOORE of 14 Curzon Street, Derby in the County of Derby, Jeweller,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and ornamental mount or
holder for coins, stones, miniatures and the like, to be used as a brooch, scarf pin,
pendant or other article of ornament.
In describing my invention reference will be had to the different figures upon
the accompanying sheet of drawings :-
Figure is a front elevation shewing my invention as applied to a brooch for
the reception of a coin.
Figure 2 is a back elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a section on line a. a. of Figure 1 shewing the coin fixed in position
as will be hereinafter explained.

page_text: In carrying out my invention I provide a ring A (technically known as a bezil)
of any suitable metal or material and fix round same by any means a number of
studs, projections, cups or settings B for small stones, brilliants, beads and the
like C between the upper edge of or projections Bi on these studs, cups or
settings and the ring, the coin, miniature or the like D is placed; the said ring,
being cut through, as at A', is opened to receive the coin, miniature or the
like and is then closed and firmly secured by means of a loop E which is
attached to the said ring on one side of the opening and passed over a knob,
catch or the like F fixed on the ring on the other side of the opening.
The great advantage of this mount or holder is that the coin or the like does not
have to be pierced, altered or added to in any way and may be taken out and
replaced by any inexperienced person.
It will be evident that without departing from the spirit of my invention I may
provide any suitable substitute for the loop E for securing the two ends of the
ring A and the coin or the like D in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
claim is :-
The improved mount or holder for coins, stones, miniatures and the like
consisting of a ring or bezil A with studs, cups, settings or the like B for
stones, brilliants, beads or the like C and fastener E, the whole being adapted to
receive and hold a coin, miniature or the like D substantially as described and
illustrated.
