Abstract:
A jewelry chain link suitable for intertwining with other jewelry chain links to form a jewelry chain comprising:a) an inner periphery, an outer periphery, a thickness defined between said inner periphery and said outer periphery and a gap extending between said inner and outer peripheries for intertwining one jewelry chain link with another, and b) a gap plane defined along a vertical and through a center of said gap, said gap having gap edges that are parallel to the gap plane, c) said inner and outer peripheries each including first and second inner and outer peripheral edges respectively on opposite sides of said gap plane and a connecting edges opposite said gap and disposed between said first and second inner and outer peripheral edges, d) said first outer peripheral edge and said first inner peripheral edge each having a first outermost dimension measured along a first lateral plane extending perpendicularly from said gap plane, e) said second outer peripheral edge and said second inner peripheral edge each having a second outermost dimension measured along a second lateral plane extending perpendicularly from said gap plane, and f) said first outermost dimension of each of said first outer and inner peripheral edges differing from said second outermost dimension of each of said second outer and inner peripheral edge respectively.
