Paperclip Necklaces FAQs
What is a paperclip necklace?
It is a necklace with elongated links whose outline resembles a paper clip. Link proportions, finish and construction vary by design.
Are all paperclip chains the same strength?
No. Metal, link thickness, construction and the way a chain is worn all matter. Protect links from pulling and snagging.
Can I wear a paperclip necklace by itself?
Yes. It can be the main necklace or part of a layered arrangement, depending on its scale and your preferred look.
