A method of manufacturing a decorative article, the method including: choosing a non-silicon substrate material which will form the substrate for the decorative article; coating the substrate with a photoresist material; forming a decorative graphic art image pattern in the photoresist coating; transferring the decorative graphic art image pattern in the photoresist coating to the substrate; and removing the photoresist coating.

[ What is claimed is:] [5.] A method of manufacturing a decorative article, the method comprising:choosing a non-semiconducting substrate from the class of materials commonly employed in jewelry and the decorative arts;coating the substrate with a photosensitive material;forming a decorative graphic art image in the photosensitive coating by optical exposure, followed by selective removal of the exposed coating;preparing the substrate by ion bombardment in order to erode and randomly texturize the area of the decorative graphic image, providing a protective depression, enhancing non-specular optical reflection, and improving adhesion of the subsequent coating;depositing a decorative graphic image in the prepared area, in which the perceived color solely results from the selective electro-magnetic absorption and reflection of light within the bulk deposited material, providing a constant color independent of light source and viewing angle relationships, and not by optical interference or diffraction phenomena which result from the geometric pattern of the graphic image and whose colors change with varying light source and viewing angle relationships;removing the photosensitive material and excess coating which are not contained within the decorative graphic image; andperforming the process of depositing a decorative graphic image in one or more iterations on a single substrate, each iteration employing a different decorative graphic image precisely registered spatially to the first, and each employing a different coating material in order to produce a plurality of perceived colors, resulting in a composite image.
