Abstract

See full text

A crimping system (1) for a timepiece (6) or jewelry item comprising: a crimping support (3); a precious stone (2) mounted in or on the crimping support (3); and a flexible element (5) fastened to the crimping support (3) in such a way as to flexibly link the crimping support (3) to said item (6), such that the stone (2) can oscillate axially and radially relative to an axis of symmetry (15), following a movement of the item (6); the crimping system (1) further comprising a stop (18, 22) that is more rigid than the flexible element (5), the stop (18, 221, 241) being capable of cooperating with the crimping support (3), in such a way as to limit the range of axial and/or radial movement of the stone (2) when the latter oscillates. In particular, the crimping system (1) has the advantage, relative to the prior art, of allowing much easier and more reliable mounting of the stone (2) and of being better suited to the use of stones (2) of small dimensions.
