So get ready to add that must-have piece to your collection and shop paperclip necklaces and bracelets today!

MEET THE PAPERCLIP CHAIN

A paper clip chain is one of the best necklace styles for women. As the name suggests, it is a type of jewelry made from larger, loose links that look a little bit like paperclips. That gives these chains an airy aesthetic, complementing your outfit without being too over-the-top. It also makes them super lightweight, easy to wear, and comfortable. When you're wearing a paperclip chain necklace, the links allow some give - so they'll drape and bend naturally with your body. No matter what type of neckline you have (V-neck, boat neck, or scoop), your necklace will lie just right. Win!

At Oak and Luna, we have two thickness options for our paperclip chains. That slight difference gives the necklace a whole different look, so you can mix and match to create your favorite style. For example, you can start with the thicker Link Chain for an edgier feel first or the thinner Rainey Chain for elegance.

GET PERSONAL

This trend's got many versions and interpretations, from a paperclip necklace with pendants to beads, pearls, and even colorful links. But at Oak and Luna, we've reinvented the paperclip chain as the ultimate personal piece. When you get an Ivy Gold Paperclip Chain necklace, bracelet, or anklet, you can engrave a date or name on the links to create jewelry unique to you. The subtle engraving gives the paperclip necklace meaning, adds so much interest, and makes your item truly special. These also balance well with other non-personalized items, like the Bobble Chain anklet.The distinctive beauty of black diamonds is what makes them so desirable. But because of their color, they're especially hard to cut and polish and have to be set very carefully to maintain their rich look. When combined with fine gold and silver jewelry, they add another touch of luxury, creating truly opulent pieces that are sure to impress.

STYLE GUIDE

Styling your paperclip chains is easy. Since they're so airy, you can wear them for an evening out or a day at work, with denim or a dress, and they'll always slay. When you're wearing necklaces, mix and match different lengths to get an interesting look and draw attention to your face. And if your wrist needs some love, play with link sizes and metals on your paperclip bracelets to add texture to your outfit.

To really take your look to the next level, try layering with other pieces. An Ivy necklace (one of our most popular necklaces for her!) will go incredible with a delicate Willow Disc necklace, and the contrast will glow up your entire outfit. The length difference is perfect with these, too. Or you can give the Showstopper anklet a chance to mingle with the Margo Mirror anklet, to add some extra chic to a midi skirt or cropped pants.

MIXING YOUR PAPERCLIPS

Our paperclip chain bracelets, necklaces, and anklets are available in 4 different metals: Silver, gold-plating, rose gold plating, and gold vermeil. This way, you can match them with other items in your collection or go with something completely contrasting. Playing around with different metals and weights is a sure way to get maximum style points, after all. Our tip? Go for a delicate Rainey necklace with the bolder Ivy necklace and enjoy the subtle clash. Your look will be even more unique and stand out - and always absolutely you.
