Buyer's guide

How to buy a silver paperclip chain

Pick the width for the look, then the length that sits where you want it

Take the thin 3.1 mm chain if you are unsure. Buyers chose it most in the year, and it is light enough for every day yet open enough to carry a small pendant. Go to the wide link when the chain is the whole look and nothing hangs from it. Every chain here is solid .925 silver, and we can shorten one to the length you want.

Width: which silver paperclip chain width, thin or wide

Choose the width by the chain's job. The two thin chains here wear quietly on their own and leave room for a small pendant. The 5.7 mm is the other kind of chain, with open links big enough to be the whole piece. Most buyers went thin, and the narrow pair made up nearly four in five chains sold in the year. Width also sets the weight. The wide one lists 28.9 grams at full length. That is about two and a half times the middle chain.

Pendant: can a silver paperclip chain hold a pendant

Yes, and the thin ones are made for it. Slide a light pendant's bail onto either thin chain, or hook a charm with its own clasp into any open link. Leave the wide chain bare, the way its own listing describes it. A heavy pendant belongs on a silver Franco chain, whose square link keeps it facing forward. Our silver pendant sets come already hung, and a small eagle on a thin paperclip chain is among them. Ask the live chat whether a pendant's bail clears the clasp before buying both.

Length: what length silver paperclip chain, 18 to 24 inches

Take 24 inches unless you want the chain to sit higher. Every chain here comes in it, and two are made only at that length. There the links fall to the middle of the chest, where a flat open link shows its shape. Twenty-two rests on the upper chest. Twenty lands just under the collarbone. The thinnest chain also comes shorter, down to 18 inches. We can shorten or lengthen any of them, but a chain changed to your inches is final. Settle the length with us in the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.

Silver: is a silver paperclip chain real .925 and will it tarnish

Yes, each chain here is .925 silver, the standard the trade calls sterling. The rest of the metal is mostly copper, which gives soft silver the hardness to wear. Every title here says solid, so the links are silver right through. Silver darkens as air and skin oils settle on it, and a polishing cloth brings it back. Take it off before a swim, and our note on cleaning tarnished silver covers the rest.

Wearing: a silver paperclip chain alone, layered, for men or women

Wear one alone before you build a stack. A thin paperclip beside a rope or a box chain shows off both, because open links and tight ones catch the eye differently. Hang the second chain a couple of inches longer so the two lie apart. These chains sit with our men's silver chains, and the wide link reads bold over a T-shirt. The thin pair suits a woman's neck just as well, and our women's silver necklaces hold more. The same link comes in 14K with the gold paperclip chains.

Every count on this card is from the 3 chains live here on October 13, 2026 and what this page sold in the year to October 12, 2026; prices are on the listings. Grams are the weight each listing prints at 24 inches. The 2.7 mm prints that one weight for all four lengths, so a shorter one weighs a little less.

Questions we get in the store

What is a silver paperclip chain?

It is a chain of stretched, open links, each much longer than it is wide, like a paper clip. Skin shows through the open middles, so the chain looks light for its width. The three here are solid .925 silver.

Is a silver paperclip chain real sterling silver?

Yes. All three chains here are .925 silver, the sterling standard, and every title calls them solid, so there is silver all the way through. The grams on each listing tell you how much silver you get.

Can I hang a pendant on a silver paperclip chain?

Yes, on the two thin ones. Slide a light pendant's bail on, or clip a charm into any open link. Leave the wide 5.7 mm bare, and put a heavy pendant on a silver Franco instead.

What width silver paperclip chain should I buy?

Buy a thin one for every day or to carry a pendant, and most buyers here went thin. Choose the 5.7 mm when you want the chain itself to be noticed. It carries far more silver than the thin pair.

What length silver paperclip chain should I get?

Twenty-four inches, which every chain here comes in. It falls to the middle of the chest. For a shorter one, the thinnest chain comes down to 18 inches, or ask us to shorten another.

Does a silver paperclip chain tarnish?

Yes, slowly. Air and the oils on your skin turn silver darker over the months, and a soft polishing cloth brings the shine back in a minute. Keep it out of the pool and store it dry in a small bag.

Are paperclip chains for men or women?

Both wear them. On a man the wide link makes the statement, and all three sit among our men's silver chains. The two thin chains suit a woman just as well, alone or layered, and the thinnest comes down to 18 inches.

Can I return a silver paperclip chain?

Yes, if it is unworn, unaltered and back with us inside fourteen days of delivery. Get the desk's okay, and it travels on a label we issue. Restocking keeps five percent, and the return postage comes off the refund. Resized chains are final.
