Small Paperclip Chain
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, stacking chain or longer chain for your favorite GLDN pendants. Its design makes it easy to adjust and wear at any length (even as a lariat necklace)!
This piece is larger than our Dainty Paperclip Chain and smaller than our Bold Paperclip Chain. If you're looking for a classic small paperclip necklace, this one's for you!
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.
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!

- Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
- 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).
- 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).

I bought this to replace a larger paper clip necklace that I lost. It’s the perfect size to pair with a charm. The clasp takes a bit of work but overall a great piece.
- BMBarbara M.Verified BuyerBought For Myself2 months agoBought For MyselfReviewingSmall Paperclip Chain 14k Gold Fill / 16″Rated 5 out of 5 starsVery nice
To create a layered look, I bought this Small Paperclip Chain (16") along with the Innoko Chain (16-18"), and the Mirror Chain (custom 18-20"). I'm thrilled at how great the three necklaces look together! The jump ring on each necklace is somewhat tiny but that's a minor consideration – I love all three necklaces individually and as a stack. Also, I appreciate GLDN's minimalist packaging.

Such a good layering piece! I I waffled a bit on which size to get before deciding on the small, and I'm very happy with my choice. It doesn't feel too big at all!
