Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →

Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.

18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →

Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →

Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Chain 🖤 Links and repetition — everyday forms, reworked by hand

A quiet statement. Two obround links — the classic paperclip form — sit one above the other in a clean geometric stack. The first rests flat against the ear, post set at the top of the oval; the second hangs freely below, catching light as it moves. Straight sides, curved ends. A shape that references chain in its purest form.

At 27mm long and 6.5mm wide, these sit close to the ear without disappearing. The satin finish softens the silver to a warm, brushed tone — and the handmade quality of each link is visible in the surface: not machine-smooth, but alive with the marks of making. That texture is the signature.

This is an everyday piece designed to be worn constantly — the kind of earring that becomes part of how you dress without thinking about it.

Perfect for

Everyday wear — lightweight and secure enough to forget you have them on
Work and professional settings — geometric and restrained, always polished
Weekends and casual dressing — they don’t compete, they complement
Travel — small, snag-free, and always the right choice to pack
Gifting — birthdays, Christmas, or a considered self-purchase

Care

Store in a dry, airtight pouch or box when not wearing. Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions, and chlorine. Sterling silver will develop a natural patina over time — polish gently with a silver cloth to restore brightness, or leave it to deepen.

Why paperclip?

The obround is a chain link reduced to its essential geometry — straight sides, rounded ends. It’s the form at the heart of every chain, made wearable. Elegant without being decorative. Geometric without being cold.
