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.
