Paperclip Bracelet

For the woman whose taste is more architectural than ornamental.

This 18k yellow gold paperclip bracelet is the chain reduced to its purest geometry: elongated rectangular links, polished on every face, opening and closing the rhythm of the wrist with each movement. The proportion of link width to link length is what separates a paperclip chain that reads luxurious from one that reads flat, and this one is calibrated for the former. The open links also serve as anchors for charms when the woman wearing it decides she wants more. The metal is 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic provincial goldsmithing.

The paperclip is a contemporary form with classical bones. The Florentine bench masters who run shops along the Arno, the heirs of the goldsmithing tradition the Ponte Vecchio has hosted since 1593, when the bridge became the official home of the trade, build it the same way they built every other chain before it. Modern proportions, ancient method. The chain you wear is a chain that came off a Florentine bench, not a press.

This is the bracelet for the woman who would rather wear one perfect line than three good ones. The piece that goes with everything because it competes with nothing.

It reads modern. It reads architectural. It reads quietly Italian.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the bracelet leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee resizing included.
