The paperclip chain has earned its status as the definitive jewelry trend of the past few years-and in solid sterling silver, it graduates from trend piece to genuine investment. These elongated 3.5mm links have the weight and presence to wear solo as a statement piece, and the clean geometry to layer beautifully with pendants, delicate chains, or a gold-over-sterling piece. At 18 inches, it sits at the collarbone in the sweet spot for both layering and solo wear. Sterling silver develops a natural patina over time that adds character-and can be restored to a bright polish whenever you want. A piece that's equally at home on a first date and a Tuesday morning.
