TECHNICAL FIELD
Present disclosure generally relates to a field of Jewellery. Particularly but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a jewellery assembly. Further embodiments of the disclosure disclose the jewellery assembly, arranged with a plurality of gemstones, to resemble a single unified gemstone in the jewellery assembly.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Jewellery is a decorative item, that people desire to wear. Jewellery are available in a variety of designs, sizes and usage of precious stones in the jewellery, increases the overall value of the jewellery. Also, jewellery is a form of status quotient for people wearing them. Jewellery items such as necklaces, rings, earrings etc., increases fashion quotient of people wearing them. Generally, jewellery may be manufactured of precious natural metals such as gold, silver, platinum and the like. In addition to these metals, precious stones such as diamonds, ruby, pearl, emerald and the like are used in the jewellery to increase aesthetic appearance and value of the jewellery.
Amongst the precious stones used in manufacturing the jewellery, diamond is one of the most expensive and attractive stones, which is widely used in jewelleries such as rings, pendants, necklace and the like. Cost of the jewellery increases with the size of the diamonds used. As the size of the diamond increases, the cost of the jewellery also increases. Usage of larger diamonds in the jewellery is more appealing and attractive in comparison to usage of smaller diamonds or other gemstones, since bigger sized diamonds have more caratage. Higher the caratage value, higher the price of the diamond. Conventionally, a single diamond stone used in the jewellery, to improve aesthetic appearance of the jewellery, which would result is escalating cost of such jewellery. Moreover, bigger sized diamonds cannot be easily accommodated in the jewellery having complex designs, since cutting and grinding the diamonds may be a tedious process and would incur additional making charges. Further, these diamonds need to be precisely manufactured and requires skilled labour in order to bring out the most aesthetically appealing jewellery.
Considering the above, and with the advent of modern technology, several attempts have been made to manufacture the jewellery, which when observed, resembles a single unified diamond, by using a plurality of diamonds clustered around. However, such jewellery may result in formation of gaps between adjacent gemstones, which may require usage of prongs within the

gaps. Usage of prongs that are manufactured of metals such as silver, platinum etc., increases the metal visibility amongst the clustered diamonds. This, would increase metal visibility and the jewellery resembling the single unified diamond would not be achieved.
The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above.
The information disclosed in this background of the disclosure section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.
