Abstract

A glass with attached jewel device has an item of drinkware such as a glass, optically clear adhesive, and a jewel piece. The glass has a base, a wall extending up from the base, and a rim opposite the base. The wall curves upon two axes with different radii. The piece fits upon the curved wall and the adhesive adheres the piece to the wall. The piece has an outer surface and an opposite inner surface. The inner surface has at least three pads and a plurality of dimples that receive the adhesive and provide additional surface area making for a strong bond of the piece to the glass or drinkware. The adhesive fills the gap upon the edges of the piece to the wall. Alternatively, the adhesive covers the inner surface. The adhesive cures by illumination as from ultraviolet light.

Abstract

A method of producing a wine glass (W) to which a decorative piece (J) is mounted and permanently held in place. The method includes first selecting a decorative piece from a plurality of decorative pieces, then cleaning a portion of the glass to which the decorative piece is to be attached. Next, a glue is applied to a backside of the decorative piece, the backside being fitted against an outer surface of the glassware, and the glue including a resin sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. Finally, the wine glass and decorative piece are radiated with an ultraviolet light having a defined wavelength for a predetermined period of time for the light to cure the resin and permanently affix the decorative piece to the wine glass.
