Can I wear a paperclip necklace with another necklace?
Yes. Choose different lengths so each chain has space to show, and consider the weight of both pieces. The necklaces pictured here are sold individually; other jewellery is not included.
Is a pendant included?
These are chain-only necklaces. If you would like to add a pendant, contact us with the chain and pendant you have in mind so we can check the fit before you order.
