Paperclip Necklaces: The Modern Must‑Have

If you’ve spotted a sleek metal loop around someone’s neck lately, you’ve seen the paperclip necklace. It’s the same shape we all know from office supplies, but turned into a bold piece of jewellery. The appeal is simple: it’s minimal, versatile, and instantly adds a touch of edge to any outfit.

Why Paperclip Necklaces Are Trending

First off, the design is ultra‑clean. No heavy gems, no intricate filigree—just a smooth, curved bar that sits comfortably on the collarbone. That clean look works with everything from a plain tee to a sophisticated saree. Plus, the metal finish—whether polished gold, brushed silver, or matte black—gives you a quick way to change the vibe without swapping the entire piece.

Another reason they’re blowing up is the pop‑culture factor. Influencers and Bollywood stars have been spotted wearing them on red carpets and street style shoots. When you see a favorite actor pull off a paperclip necklace with a simple kurta, you instantly think, ‘I can do that too.’

How to Style a Paperclip Necklace

1. Layer with delicate chains. Pair a thin gold paperclip with a couple of dainty necklaces of varying lengths. The contrast makes the paperclip the focal point without looking overdone.

2. Mix metals. Don't be afraid to combine a silver paperclip with a rose‑gold pendant. The mixed‑metal look feels contemporary and fresh.

3. Show some skin. Let the paperclip sit on an open‑neck top or a V‑neck dress. The exposed collarbone area highlights the piece and keeps the overall look balanced.

4. Pair with statement earrings. If you love earrings, choose a pair that echoes the metal finish of the necklace. A single hoop or geometric studs work great.

5. Casual or formal? Wear a matte black paperclip with a leather jacket for an edgy vibe, or choose polished gold with a silk saree for a formal affair. The same piece moves seamlessly between settings.

At RH Jewellers, we’ve curated a range of paperclip necklaces that suit every budget. From 22‑carat gold that brightens a traditional outfit to sleek stainless steel for daily wear, there’s a version for every style. Our craftsmen pay attention to the curve’s symmetry, ensuring a comfortable fit that doesn’t pinch the skin.

When you choose a paperclip necklace, think about the length. A shorter bar stays close to the throat, perfect for high‑neck tops, while a longer bar drapes lower, ideal for low‑cut dresses. Most of our designs come with a secure spring clasp, so you can trust it stays in place whether you’re dancing at a wedding or just running errands.

Maintenance is a breeze. A soft cloth wipes away fingerprints, and a quick dip in warm, soapy water restores shine for the gold and silver pieces. For black finishes, avoid abrasive cleaners to keep the matte look intact.
