DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is intended for use in the jewelry industry and is aimed at obtaining a personified diamond jewelry that can be identified (identified) with a particular person or animal.

A precious stone is known, in particular a natural diamond comprising a material of human or animal origin and containing internal channels filled with substrates formed from the remains of cremation material of human or animal origin, said structure being transparent and refracting light as a precious stone ( WO 2004076058 A1, Galon Venora, Weisbrot Moti, 10.09.04 ). To this end, in the natural precious stone, internal microchannels are created by laser drilling, which are filled with vitreous substrates having a refractive index close to diamond and formed in the process of crystallization from an ash material of animal origin in a mixture with lead oxide, sodium chloride and sodium bromide.

However, in this method, the crystal is used only as a capsule for the remains (ashes), as a result of drilling, the integrity of the gemstone is disturbed , although when the microtubules are filled with a vitreous substrate, the resulting crystal is visually indistinguishable from the whole. In addition, it is not possible to correlate the formed glassy structure with a particular human or animal due to the lack of data on the chemical composition of the human or animal material used to form the structure of the material.

Synthetic gemstones are known , in particular diamonds containing elements, namely carbon extracted from the remains of animal species, and methods for their production ( US 2003017932 A1 VandenBiesen and so on, 23.01.03, US 2004031434 A1, Vanden Biesen and etc., 19.02 .04 ). Thus, according to US 2003017932, in the preparation of gemstones, the remains of a person or animal are cremated at temperatures of 1000 to 1800 F (538-982 ° C), the resulting carbon is filtered, subjected to high-temperature vacuum cleaning with halogens and used to grow diamonds .

However, the approach to using the remains of a deceased person as a source for the extraction of carbon used in growing diamonds requires great delicacy and is unacceptable for a number of cultures for ethical reasons. In addition, cremation of the remains requires the inclusion of additional links (crematoriums in different regions, training of cremation operators, etc.) in the technological cycle, which leads to an increase in the production time and a significant increase in the cost of the product. And most importantly, the resulting gem can only be considered in terms of memory of the deceased, as a memorial item. For identification, each gemstone is laser labeled with an individual number on its face corresponding to the appropriated animal remains. Since in the process of high-temperature vacuum cleaning all trace elements are removed, and the residues are considered only as a source of carbon, it is impossible to identify by the chemical composition of grown diamonds with the remains of a particular person or animal.

At present, in medicine and criminalistics, a great deal of experience has been gained in the identification of a particular person on the basis of the characteristics of the chemical (macro- and microelemental) composition of the hair. In particular, by methods of emission spectral analysis, up to thirty chemical elements are determined in the hair, while the individual characteristic of a particular person is usually a set of 10-15 heavy metals ( see Yu.V. Pavlov, V.I.Alisevich and others. The structure of hair: chemical composition and anthropological differences, M., 1996, p.77-91, 103-105 ).

The object of the present invention is to create a personified (the concept of "personification" from the Latin persona - person, person and facio - do, a special kind of metaphor: the transfer of human traits (more broadly - the features of a living being) to inanimate objects and phenomena [TSB, 2001]) of diamond jewelry Containing trace elements characteristic of a particular person or animal and proof of the conformity of the chemical composition of the grown diamond to the chemical composition of the hair of a particular person or animal.

The problem is solved by the fact that the personified grown jewelery diamond contains heavy metals: Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi , separated from the hair of a certain person or animal, whose concentration ratios correspond to the ratios of the concentrations of these elements in the hair of the person or animal.

The method for obtaining a personalized diamond jewelry includes treating a specific human or animal hair by mineralization at a temperature of no higher than 550 ° C until the organic component decomposes completely, forming a source for the growth of diamond from spectrally pure graphite and a hair treatment product containing heavy metals: Sr, Cd , Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi , growing the diamond from the melt by recrystallization to seed, determining the ratios of the concentrations of these elements in the grown diamond, and comparing them with the content in the hair treatment product.

The main distinguishing feature of the invention from the known (US 2003017932, US 2004031434) is that synthetic gemstones are declared in them, incl. Diamonds , the material for the production of which is carbon, extracted from human biological elements, incl. And from the hair ( WO 20041055540, 19.12.04 ). In claim 1 of the claimed invention, the personified diamond does not contain carbon isolated from the biological elements of a human or animal body, since the latter is removed from the product in the form of CO and CO 2 at a temperature of ~ 500 ° C , the heavy metal set: Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi , which are part of the hair, is retained in the mineralization product. Thus, elements that are isolated from the components of a particular individual (human or animal) and used in diamond production are different: in the known inventions, this is carbon, in the claimed invention, a mineralization product containing heavy metals.

The difference in the claimed invention is that in order to prove the personification of diamond , the ratios of the concentrations of heavy metals Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi in the grown diamond are determined and compared with their relative content in the hair heat treatment product. In the known solutions, a diamond synthesized on the basis of carbon will contain a set of microelements that do not correspond to the set characteristic for a particular person or animal, Most of the trace elements are removed from the source material (lost) during its isolation and preparation (cleaning, graphitization).

A complete set of impurity elements that can be determined in diamond , and can not serve as evidence of the correspondence of the belonging of the grown diamond to a particular person or animal, since it includes impurity elements, parts of the growth system present in the batch material, etc. Table 1 shows the content of impurities ( C x ) in the charge material: graphite + Invar (nickel, iron and copper alloy).

Known ( AI Chepurov et al., "Experimental Modeling of Diamond Formation Processes", 1997, p.124-126 ) and the experimental data obtained by the applicant indicate a selective entry of impurities into the diamond structure.

Based on the conditions for the preparation of biological elements (hair), technological methods and materials used in the crystallization of diamond in the growth system, the selection of a heavy metal set: Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi is sufficient to characterize a particular person or animal and not Has an impact on the jewelry quality of cultivated diamonds .

In addition, to more accurately identify diamonds by chemical composition, it is possible to purposely introduce additional trace elements from the number of elements rarely found in nature.

In the claimed invention, the carbon source for diamond growth is formed from the product of hair mineralization and spectrally pure graphite, the use of the latter does not contaminate the system with heavy metal impurities, which ensures the preservation of a set of chemical elements selected to characterize a particular human or animal, and diamond growing at high temperatures and pressures From the melt in the presence of the metal-catalyst it ensures the proportional entry of these elements into the diamond while maintaining their relative concentrations.

To prove compliance, a quantitative chemical analysis of the hair treatment product, the carbon source and the grown diamond is carried out using modern instrumental methods (mass spectrometric, atomic-emission, atomic-absorption). The relative concentrations of the elements are recalculated taking into account the experimentally established distribution coefficients, the result obtained is compared with the ratio of heavy metal concentrations in the hair treatment product. The coincidence of the values ​​with allowance for the measurement error makes it possible to carry out personification of the diamond, i.e. To prove the conformity of the grown diamond to a certain person or animal and to certify the diamond in terms of chemical composition.

EXAMPLE OF IMPLEMENTATION

A hair sample of a specific person weighing ~500 mg was mineralized at a temperature of ~500 ° C. The weight of the resulting mineralization product (ash residue) of the hair was about ~ 5 mg . ~2 mg of the mineralization product was collected, mixed with the graphite of spectral purity and placed in the growth cell of the known high-pressure apparatus "Split Sphere" (BARS) ( described, for example, in AI Chepurov et al., "Experimental Modeling of Diamond Formation Processes" 1997, pp . 8-20 ). The diamond single crystal was grown from the melt by recrystallization to a seed. As a result, a monocrystal of a diamond of jeweler purity weighing ~0.2 carats was obtained, having a fantasy-yellow color.

In the hair mineralization product, the determination of Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pb, Bi, Ag and Au (C x0 ) was performed by emission spectral analysis. The same elements were determined by a mass spectrometric method with laser evaporation and ionization in the grown diamond . The relative values ​​of the concentrations of heavy metals for the lead content in the hair mineralization product ( C x0 / C Pb0 ) and in the grown diamond ( C x C Pb ), taking into account the distribution coefficients, are presented in Table 2 .

Comparison of the third and fourth rows of the table shows the relative contents of Sr, Cd, Sn, Ba and Bi in the hair mineralization product and the grown diamond within the error of the determinations ( ~ 15-20% ), coincide (to the Pb concentration ). Such elements as Au and Ag , present in the hair, are not part of the grown diamond. The data in Table 2 is evidence of the correspondence of the composition of the grown diamond to the individual hair composition of a particular person for heavy metals.

Thus, based on the conditions for the preparation of biological elements (hair), techniques and materials used in the crystallization of diamond in the growth system, the resulting diamond will be characterized by a set of heavy metals inherent in a particular person or animal.
