Wide-open spaces are expected in western states and in Dixie Chicks playlists, but less so in fine jewelry, until this year anyway. Missing jewelry links in rings and bracelets were abundant during jewelry week 2015, and offer a chic minimalist and easy-to-layer look with wide appeal to new collectors. For on-point effect this year, simply carve out a space and cap the ends with cool jewels or metal motifs.
