10K Yellow Gold Paperclip Chain

This paperclip chain is made in 10K yellow gold. Paperclip links are long, flat rectangles, a modern shape that layers well with finer chains. At 2.5 mm it is an everyday width that works alone or layered with others. Its listed weight is 4.6 g; weight varies with the length or size you choose. Available in 18″, 20″, 24″. As a guide, at 18″ it falls just below the collarbone; at 20″ it lands on the upper chest; at 24″ it sits lower on the chest and over clothing.

At 10K the metal is 41.7% gold; the higher share of alloy makes it harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K. Wear it alone, or layer it with a finer chain at a shorter length.
