The Handmade Sterling Silver Paperclip Bracelet is the everyday silver bracelet you'll never want to take off. Its long, open paperclip links are formed by hand in ethically sourced sterling silver, with a unique braided design that sets it apart from machine-made chains.
It's available in six sizes, from 6 to 8.5 inches, so you can choose a fit that's snug or relaxed. Wear it alone, stack it, or pair it with the matching necklace.
A Handmade Take on the Paperclip Chain
Paperclip chains are known for their long, open links, but most are mass-produced and identical from end to end. Because each link on this bracelet is shaped by hand, it has a softer, more organic look, and small variations make every bracelet one of a kind.

How to Wear a Silver Paperclip Bracelet
On Its Own
A single strand is clean and modern, easy with a white tee, a button-down, or a summer dress.
Stacked
Pair it with a watch, slim bangles, or our Handmade Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet for a layered look. Its open links keep a stack from feeling heavy.
As a Set
Match it with our Handmade Sterling Silver Paperclip Link Necklace for a coordinated silver look, or browse more bracelets.
How to Choose Your Size
Measure around your wrist just above the wrist bone with a soft tape measure or a strip of paper. Then add about half an inch for a snug fit or about an inch for a relaxed fit. For example, a 6.5-inch wrist usually wears a 7-inch bracelet for a snug fit or a 7.5-inch bracelet for a looser one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a paperclip bracelet?
A paperclip bracelet is a chain bracelet made of long, rectangular or oval links that resemble paperclips. The open links give it a modern, lightweight look that works alone or stacked.
Is this bracelet real sterling silver?
Yes. This bracelet is made from ethically sourced sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver mixed with other metals for strength.
How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet?
To measure your wrist, wrap a soft tape measure or strip of paper around your wrist just above the bone, then measure the length. Add about half an inch for a snug fit or an inch for a relaxed fit.
What sizes does this bracelet come in?
This bracelet comes in 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, and 8.5 inches.
Is there a matching necklace?
Yes. Our Handmade Sterling Silver Paperclip Link Necklace has the same handmade paperclip links, so the two make a coordinated set.
Does sterling silver tarnish?
Yes. Sterling silver naturally darkens over time. Wearing it often and storing it in a sealed bag slows tarnish, and a silver polishing cloth restores the shine.

We believe that beautiful jewelry should also be responsibly made. That’s why every piece we create is crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
Ethically Sourced Precious Metals
All of our 14k gold and sterling silver comes exclusively from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list.
