DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown, a successively manufactured jewel holding claw A according to one embodiment of the present invention has a structure shaped like a strand, which is successively manufactured in such a manner that a plurality of jewel holding pieces 1 and circular ring connecting parts 2 are repeatedly connected with each other, the jewel holding pieces 1 being successively formed in such a manner that they are spaced a predetermined interval from each other, and the circular ring connecting part 2 being formed between the jewel holding pieces 1 spaced from each other.
In the present invention, each jewel holding piece 1 of the jewel holding claw A is in a lozenge-shape extending in up and down directions. However, the shape of the jewel holding piece isn't limited to this shape. Therefore, as show in FIGS. 4 a, 4 b, and 4 c, the shape of the jewel holding piece can be an oval shape or a hexagonal shape extending in up and down directions. Also, although it is illustrated in the present embodiment that two circular ring connecting parts 2 formed adjacent to each jewel holding piece 1 are connected with each other, the number of the circular ring connecting parts isn't limited to this. Therefore, the number of the circular ring connecting parts can be 1 or 3 to 5.
As shown in FIG, 2, the jewel holding piece 1 is formed in a shape curved upward so that the jewel holding piece 1 can be easily bent when a jewel is held.
The circular ring connecting part 2 of jewel holding claw A is formed in a circular ring-shape having a holding hole 21 extending therethrough. However, the shape of the circular ring connecting part isn't limited to this shape, and can be formed in a lozenge-shape or a rectangular shape, which has a holding hole 21 extending therethrough.
After preparing a jewel 3 to be held, the successively manufactured jewel holding claw A according to the present invention, which has such a structure, is cut to a length corresponding to a measured total length of an outline of the jewel. The jewel holding claw A surrounds the outline of the jewel, and the jewel holding pieces are bent so as to allow the jewel to be fixedly held by the jewel holding claw A. Also, a wire 4, which is made from material equal to material of the jewel holding claw A, is connected with each holding hole of circular ring connecting parts 2 formed at both separate ends of the jewel holding claw A, which are adjacent to each other, and a holding ring 41 is formed by twisting the wire 4. Accordingly, a jewel assembly B is completely manufactured.
