Abstract:
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 an outer wall on at least one of said lateral sides deformed toward an inner wall on said lateral side without the loss of link material that results in the appearance of a faceted surface on said outer wall, 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.
