Abstract
A non-annular, hollow chain link is provided with a gap and is capable of being intertwined to form a jewelry rope chain. The gap faces the widest dimension of the link, and faceting surfaces are preferably disposed adjacent the gap. When compared with an annular, prior art link having a diameter that is equivalent to the widest dimension of the non-annular link, the faceting surfaces present a greater faceting surface area than the faceting surfaces of such annular, prior art link. Thus, a faceted rope chain formed from such hollow, non-annular chain links will have a greater faceting presence and appearance than an equivalent rope chain formed from annular chain links.
Claims17
A jewelry rope chain formed from intertwined, non-annular, hollow rope chain links, at least one of said links comprising:
- a) an outer periphery, an inner periphery and a gap, said gap for intertwining said chain link with other chain links,
- b) a first end opposite said gap, lateral sides adjacent said gap and further comprising a faceted surface on at least one of said lateral sides,
- c) a first dimension defined along a first axis extending from said gap to said first end opposite said gap, and
- d) a second dimension defined along a second axis running perpendicular to said first axis and extending across said lateral sides such that said gap faces said second axis, said second dimension defining the width of said jewelry rope chain,
- e) said second dimension being greater than or equal to said first dimension,
- f) wherein said faceted surface has a faceting length that is greater than a faceting length defined along a faceted surface of an annular chain link having a diameter that is the same as said second dimension.
