Paperclip Silver Chain

Long flat rectangles, evenly spaced and set edge to edge, give the paperclip chain the shape it is named after. The links are drawn in sterling silver 925 and finished flat, so the chain lies against the skin instead of rolling. Width is 2.3mm.

It sits in everyday territory: strong enough to take most pendants, and open enough that the pattern still shows when something is hung on it. There are two lengths, 50cm and 60cm. The shorter falls on the chest and pairs well with a finer chain above it; the longer clears a jumper or a shirt collar.

Italian-made, solid sterling throughout. Wide flat links show marks and tarnish sooner than round ones do, so an occasional going-over with a silver cloth keeps the faces clean and even. Orders leave for Australian destinations by Express Post, insured in transit.
