I really, really love these necklaces. They’re comfortable and every time
I see them, I smile. I wear them together sometimes, and sometimes individually, and I don’t regret them for a moment.
 
Which RC paperclip necklace did you get? There are so many and I liked yours!
This is the paper clip necklace I purchased. I love it! It’s substantial but light and comfortable to wear.

Thank you! There are so many different kinds. I love how you layer yours!

I ended up getting the paperclip necklace I had seen at Saks (but not at Saks because another place had a better coupon) , which I tried to pair like you did -- with my diamond (much smaller than yours) solitaire. I think the chain links are about 8mm wide.

I hope you don't find this trying to be boastful or show up your beautiful combination. I just really appreciated your help and love your layering look!

I'm kind of worried about scratching, though. Are you?

The chain isn't as big as it looks in the photo, it's more medium sized, but it was one I'd wanted in that size for so long that when I saw it and had a coupon, I went for it!

Anyway, here she is! Thank you for the inspiration!

this looks amazing on you! I hope you find this combination as comfortable as I do. I feel like it has presence, but not too much. And I love that thicker paper clip link! Its lines are so clean and even. Perfection! :nuts:

Oh- and I’m not too worried about scratching (sorry, chasing a toddler). But I also decided that I’m going to try to wear my jewelry and not worry about scratching (within reason), so I may not be the best person to consult about this. I love the combination you’re wearing. Congrats on “going for it” and getting exactly what you wanted! I’m excited for you :drinks: <- pretend those are champagne flutes

Thank you! Proportionally, I prefer your combo, but this is a great chain for lots of looks and you really inspired me, so thank you!!!

I love your bezel setting solitaire with that chain- the chain is so nice and substantial, and the solitaire is simple perfection. It looks amazing, and I think it's going to look so good with spring and summer clothes. Congrats!

Oh thank you, that is so kind of you to say. I didn't like the 'hand feel' of the chain (so lightweight!) at first but I LOVE it on. So comfortable!

Please tell us about your amazing solitaire--it is so beautiful!!!
