They’re one of our favorite chains for that exact reason! Paperclip-style chains are less susceptible to tangles, look amazing with all shapes and sizes of pendants and add a ton of cool texture to your look, making them the perfect staple for layering.

Paperclip necklaces (also known as paperclip chains!) are classic pieces, and for good reason. They go with anything and everything, and we consider them a trend-defying piece—something simple, minimal and timeless that will outlast fashion cycles.

Totally, they’re such a fun style to stack. Try wearing one as a choker (with a tiny charm or add-on tag) and a longer one with a larger pendant, or worn on its own. To break it up a bit, add in a chunkier, mid-length chain for some contrast!
