What makes the new Madison paper clip chain stand out from all other other paper clip chains that RIVA New York offers? It’s the soft silhouette: the rounded-wire links that make up this chain (all our other chains are fashioned from flat wire, you see) give the bracelet a slightly less edgier vibe. Understated enough for everyday wear, but the wire thickness packs enough shine to give off a bold look. Secures with a pear-shaped lobster claw clasp. Comes in sterling silver or gold vermeil, and in five (5) different lengths.

At the moment, our Madison paper clip chain bracelets are made to order, so please allow up to two (2) weeks before your order is shipped. (But please welcome the surprise if we can get it to you faster than that!)

  • Link size: 4.12 mm x 8.14 mm
  • Wire thickness: approximately 0.97 mm
  • Wire type: rounded
  • Rounded wire gives the paper clip links a softer look (as opposed to the edgier look of the paper clip links made from flat wire)
  • A standout on its own, but also great as a layering piece
  • Any-occasion wear
  • Unisex/genderless
  • Comes in five (5) different lengths
  • Finished necklace made by New Yorkers, using silver chain from Italy
  • This particular style is only available in silver or gold vermeil, and not in 14K gold

What is it about the paper clip chain that makes it sought after? Well, first of all, that silhouette strikes a chord: it takes you back to the days when you used to fashion DIY bracelets and necklaces using the humble office staple. The nostalgia! Second, they exude a very clean, modern look. Third, they make for the perfect foundation or base for attachables. Fourth, they are perfect for layering, regardless of the link size or wire thickness. Lastly, they look great in any length!

FAQs

Does RIVA New York make this paper clip chain in-house?

While we manufacture most of our chains in-house at our Brooklyn, NY, facility, the paper clip chain we use for our Madison necklaces and Madison bracelets is sourced from Italy. The finished necklaces and bracelets, however, are assembled by us! 

Is this style available in solid gold?

At the moment, the item you see on this page is only available in sterling silver and gold vermeil. Hopefully we will be able to offer this in 14K gold in the future. We offer four other paper clip chain styles available in 14K yellow gold: the Wall Street chain, the Tribeca chain, the SoHo chain, and the Chelsea chain.

What is the difference between a flat/square-edged paper clip chain link and a rounded one?

Rounded paper clip links are fashioned from round wire, giving off a softer look. Flat or square-edged paper clip links are made from flattened wire with hard edges, for a more modern, edgier look.

Good to Know

Fair Pricing

There's no middleman here, since your RIVA New York pieces literally beeline from our benches to your shipping box, so you can rest assured that you won't see insane markups from us. One of our goals for 2025 is to be more transparent with our costs!

Made by New Yorkers, Kinda

Although the chain part comes preassembled from our vendor in northern Italy (full disclosure) who share our values in terms of quality and respect for workers, the finished piece is made with tender loving care by talented artisans in our Brooklyn, NY, facility.

We Care

We are a small business and, as such, it is easy and important for us to be intimate with our customers. We treat everyone like family, and that’s a promise! Feel free to contact us if you have questions or if you need help, and we’ll be there (not literally, but you get the drift)!

We See You, Shining!

Protect That Shine

As much as we love the look of sterling silver, it does have some pitfalls. Unfortunately, silver is known to tarnish from exposure to oxygen and moisture over time. And although tarnish can be avoided by cleaning, and removed by polishing, we at RIVA use a more proactive solution: rhodium plating! The chemical properties of rhodium make it ideal for adding a protective coat around silver pieces. The hard exterior makes your piece of silver jewelry piece more resistant to scratches or tarnishing, and adds a brighter shine! Click here to learn more about rhodium plating.
