Paperclip Chains

A paperclip chain uses long, flat, elongated links — the shape of the office clip it is named after. The stretched links mean the chain covers more distance with less gold, so it looks substantial while staying light to wear.

Who it suits. It is the most modern-looking of the common chain styles and layers well, because the open links let a finer chain sit against it without tangling. It also takes a pendant cleanly, and some people clip a charm directly onto a single link.

What to check. Because the links are long and flat, a paperclip chain shows its gold-to-length ratio more than any other style — a light one will feel flimsy in the hand. Compare the gram weight, not just the millimetre width. Both are listed on every product page here.
