About PaperClip Chains

The paperclip chain is one of the most popular contemporary chain styles. Its elongated, open oval links resemble paper clips, creating a modern, fashion-forward chain that has taken the jewelry world by storm. Available in 18K yellow gold, 18K white gold, and platinum.

The Modern Must-Have

Paperclip chains have exploded in popularity in recent years, becoming a staple of modern jewelry wardrobes. The elongated links create a distinctive, architectural look that bridges the gap between minimal and bold. The open design makes the chain lightweight and comfortable while still delivering significant visual impact. It is a design that looks just as good with jeans as with a cocktail dress.

Premium Metals Only

Our paperclip chains are crafted exclusively in premium metals: 18K yellow gold, 18K white gold, and platinum. The higher gold content of 18K gold gives these chains a richer, more luxurious color that perfectly complements the modern design. Each chain is solid gold or platinum through and through.

Styling Your PaperClip Chain

Paperclip chains are incredibly versatile. Wear a shorter 16-18 inch chain as a choker for a modern, minimalist look. Layer multiple lengths for a trendy stacked effect. The elongated links also work beautifully with charms and pendants — try attaching a custom pendant to one of the links for a personalized touch. Pair with matching bracelets for a coordinated set.
