| The U.S. Patent office | This last one's is for interest's sake only, being the search page. Search for words like "gem" "diamond" or "precious" AND "stone" or the names of designers etc. Access the Help file if your browser will not display the graphics, there is a free add-on to download. Most are design patents and include diagrams only, some include instructions or further details. Each includes references to relevant previous patents, so you can find quite a few and gain more words and names to use in your search as you proceed. | ||||||
| The Canadian Patent Database | is also useful in the same way. | ||||||
| Keep in mind that not only designs can be found in this way, but gemstone related techniques, machines, accessories, etc. can all be learned about. (plus of course everything else that's in the database.) For instance, in the Canadian database. Check out CA 2305067, MUSICAL REPRESENTATION OF GEMSTONE SIGNATURE. | |||||||
