Product Details
Chain width: 1.9mm
Length 15-17"
2" adjustable chain
Materials
14k Gold Filled
Ease of care: 4/5

A practical balance between cost and quality, our gold-filled pieces have a thick layer of 14k gold, heat and pressure bonded to a high-quality brass core. They contain much more real gold than regular gold-plating.

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!

Sizing Guide
  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).

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.

Yes! All of our charms and pendants can be added to this chain. Happy stacking!

Here's a quick breakdown:
Mini Paperclip Chain: smallest option; perfect for charms and pendants.
Dainty Paperclip Chain: midsized option (but still very dainty); can also fit charms and pendants.
Small Paperclip Chain: the largest of the three; more of a layering piece.

Since it depends on which metal you chose, see our care tips blog and help center for detailed instructions on how to care for specific metals and gemstones. (Spoiler: all of our pieces require very minimal upkeep and occasional polishing, and can basically be worn 24/7 if you keep them away from harsh cleansers, chlorine and chemicals.)

It varies based on where you are in the world, and whether the piece is marked made-to-order or ready-to-ship. See our shipping page for specific arrival times.

    Love this gold vermeil necklace!

    It is so understated, which is exactly what I wanted. Plus it looks like true gold which it is supposed to look like! Wearing it daily, even showered in it. Just made another GLDN purchase!

    Lovely

    Such a lovely delicate chain. Perfect length also. My only complaint is that it’s hard to slide a charm over the end. I had to use a jewelry tool ands managed to manipulate it enough to get it to work.
