Hand-Forged Paperclip Chain — Sterling Silver / 20g / Custom Length

This chain is hand-forged in sterling silver using traditional silversmithing tools and built in the same form each time.

This paperclip chain is constructed from 20-gauge sterling silver, producing a clean, linear profile with balanced weight and smooth movement. The links are proportioned for everyday wear while maintaining a refined, substantial feel. Finished to a bright shine, the chain sits comfortably against the skin and layers easily with pendants or other chains. Each piece is built to the requested length, ensuring proper fit and proportion.
