This isn't just a simple paperclip chain. It's interrupted by three stations—thicker, rounded links that each hold a single, horizontally set emerald-cut stone. This gives the chain a bit of weight and structure where it sits on your body.
This is a long paperclip chain made of solid 14-karat gold. It has three accent points: one at the centre bottom and two more spaced out along the sides. Each accent is a pair of thick, rounded links fused together to frame a single, emerald-cut Cubic Zirconia. The stone is set east-west in a white gold bezel, which makes it look like it’s floating inside the gold link. The entire chain has a high-polish finish.
We make this necklace from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength, which means it’s tough enough to resist the dents and scratches that come with daily wear. The high gold content also means it won’t tarnish or turn your skin funny colours. The stones are emerald-cut Cubic Zirconia, a very hard and clear material that’s cut just like a diamond to catch and reflect light from every angle.

You might pick this if you like the paperclip chain trend but want something a little more finished. The three stone links break up the chain and give it just enough weight to hang properly. It’s more interesting than a plain chain, but not as formal as a full "diamonds-by-the-yard" style.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the metal around the stone in my Emerald Link Necklace look white?
The bezel holding the Cubic Zirconia is made of solid 14k white gold. We do this intentionally to enhance the brightness of the stone. The white metal acts like a mirror, making the clear stone appear whiter and more brilliant than it would if it were set in yellow gold.
Can I shower with my 14k gold Emerald Link Necklace on?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold necklace. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or get damaged by water. However, soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the Cubic Zirconia, dulling its sparkle over time. We recommend rinsing it with clean water and drying it to maintain its shine.
How will the Emerald Link Necklace sit, and can I layer it with other chains?
This necklace is designed to be a longer matinee length, typically sitting on the chest, and the spaced-out stone links help it lie flat. It's a great base for layering shorter, simpler chains on top, or it can be worn alone over a high-necked shirt or sweater.
