Iconic, chic and reflects the light like no other.

 

Add a subtle statement to your look with a silver or gold paperclip chain in your chosen length—sublime as a choker, layering chain or base for your favorite GLDN charms and pendants. Its design makes it easy to adjust and wear at any length (even as a lariat necklace) and offers a little something more than a basic chain.

 

This piece is even smaller than our Small Paperclip Chain and larger than our Mini Paperclip Chain. If you're looking for a dainty piece with just enough shimmer, this one's for you.
○Chain width: 1.9mm
○15-17", 17-19" or custom length
○Lobster clasp
○Adjustable - can clasp anywhere along the chain
14k Gold Filled
14k Gold Filled
Ease of care: 4/5

The solid gold look without the solid gold price. Our gold fill pieces feature a heavy layer of 14k gold that’s been heat- and pressure-bonded to a jeweler’s brass core. Similar to our gold plating, but with even more durability thanks to the bonding process.

Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver
Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

Want even more details about materials? Check this out.

  1. Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
  2. Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
  3. Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.

Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don't have a ruler handy).

    Dainty Paperclip Chain 14k Gold Fill / 15-17″
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    A forever favorite

    This necklace is pretty close to perfect. I just reordered another one after my first one getting a little dingy after 4 years. It’s super simple, but very elegant. I wear it dressed up and down. Gldn doesn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.
