Frequently asked questions

  • Can I add a pendant to this chain?

    Yes, though the oversized links are designed to make a statement on their own. Larger pendants and charms work particularly well with this chain style.

  • What is gold-fill?

    Gold-fill is a thick layer of 14K gold bonded to a base metal. It is significantly more durable than gold plate and maintains its appearance with proper care.

  • Is this suitable for everyday wear?

    Yes. Both the gold-fill and sterling silver options are built for daily wear. Remove before swimming or heavy chemical exposure to maintain the finish.

  • How long does it take to receive?

    Each piece is custom made for you. Please allow 10 business days for production unless the item is already in stock.

More Details

The chain that needs no pendant. Our Large Paper-Clip Chain features oversized 6.2x21mm links that create a bold, modern silhouette on their own. Worn solo, it is a statement. Layered with other necklaces, it adds structure and visual weight that finer chains cannot provide.

Available in 14K gold-fill or sterling silver, in lengths from 7 inches (bracelet) to 20 inches (necklace), this is a foundational piece for building a layered jewelry look. The lobster clasp closure ensures a secure, easy fit.

Why the Paper-Clip Link Works

The elongated link has become one of the most sought-after chain silhouettes in modern jewelry. It drapes with a fluid, relaxed quality while carrying more visual presence than a cable or box chain. The oversized links catch light along their flat surfaces, creating a subtle shimmer that reads as both casual and refined. This is a chain that transitions effortlessly from a t-shirt neckline to an evening look.

Why You'll Love It

  • Oversized 6.2x21mm links create bold, modern presence that stands on its own.
  • Versatile enough to wear solo or as a layering anchor with finer chains and pendants.
  • Available as a bracelet (7 inch) or necklace (16, 18, or 20 inch).
  • 14K gold-fill or sterling silver with a lobster clasp closure.
  • Handcrafted in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
