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 / Custom
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Simple-yet-fun and versatile necklace

    I ordered a custom length of 16-18”, which feels perfect to me (I don’t really like chokers/shorter necklaces). The 17-19 probably would be almost as good, but I don’t think I would wear it at 19”. I love that this is not just a small chain, but still really versatile, and it feels elegant enough to dress up an outfit.

    Dainty Paperclip Chain 14k Gold Fill / 15-17″
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Buy. Now.

    Truly the best paperclip. I searched for a few months before landing on GLDN. Dainty, slim, and the perfect size to add that little bit to your daily wear. Lightweight yet doesn’t feel like it’ll just snap. Great clasp. The gold is not shiny or yellow looking. It’s beautiful!
