Paperclip Necklaces

The paperclip necklace gets its name from its resemblance to a chain of linked paperclips. These gorgeous necklaces are made from a chain of elongated oval or rectangular links, creating a striking yet minimalist aesthetic. They are identified by their signature elongated, narrow link shape of repeating rectangular pieces.

Our paperclip necklaces are available in silver or gold, with chain only or pendant necklace designs. Choose a classic 14k gold paperclip necklace to dress up an everyday look, or opt for an elegant 18k gold and pearl paperclip necklace combination for special occasions. We offer gold paperclip necklaces in varying millimeter thicknesses so you can make any statement, big or small, with these trendy paperclip chains.

These silver and gold necklaces in paperclip styles are incredibly popular. They offer timeless designs that are surprisingly on-trend, bringing chic shapes to classic chains. People of all ages can wear a paperclip necklace and feel confident in the popularity of this jewelry.

While they are beautiful, modern paperclip chains don't carry any inherent symbolic meaning. As with most chain styles, paperclip necklaces grew in popularity thanks to their aesthetic as opposed to any special spiritual or cultural significance. However, you can add meaning to or personalize your look by adding a pendant or a charm to your chain.

Styling a paperclip chain is a piece of cake, as its simple design lends itself well to versatility. You can wear it on its own or as part of a necklace layering look. Whether you dress it up or down, a paperclip chain necklace will add a touch of chic sophistication.

Instantly stylish and easy to coordinate paperclip necklaces make excellent gifts for any occasion. Give the gift of a gold paperclip necklace to celebrate a graduation, birthday, anniversary, or any other occasion.
