Ooh, patents! Tiffany T wire bracelet

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The Tiffany T wire bracelet is patented. The US design patent USD784841S, titled Jewelry item, was awarded on April 25th 2017, to a group of three co-inventors: Francesca Amfitheatrof, Michal Dayan and Nina Martensson. Worn standalone, the Tiffany T wire bracelet is sometimes also stacked with the Tiffany T cutout bracelet. When stacked this way, the Ts appear like the “cut out" pieces.

Below, the patent Figure 1, together with two embodiments of the design, designated the medium Tiffany T wire bracelet, one in 18k white gold, the other in 18k yellow gold. As a reminder, a US design patent covers the ornamental aspects of an invention, or how the invention looks. In contrast, a US utility patent covers the way an invention works or is produced, when the invention is a manufacturing process.
