925 sterling silver handmade paperclip and circle deals chain bracelet | long link chain | rectangle link bracelet | box chain bracelet

This beautifully modern rectangular link bracelet has been expertly handcrafted and stamped using 925 sterling silver. The simple design comprises of 8 handmade long links, which are expertly soldered together using a petite oval link before being high shined, creating a striking statement, which resembles the body of a paperclip. We wanted to create something a little more unusual than our other beautiful round and oval link chains, and I think we have definitely achieved that with this piece. This would look fabulous on its own or as a stacker bracelet, and would be a fantastic high quality charm base for any of your charms.

Please note that as our bracelets are completely handmade, the length may differ slightly with design.

❉ How has this piece been made?

All of our chains are handmade by an expert jeweller, who has over 40 years in the industry specialising in chain design and creation. All pieces are made in his workshop in Birminghams Jewellery Quarter. Your silver bracelet starts life as a coil of sterling silver wire. To make the links, the wire is then drawn down to deals the required gauge, and then annealed. This process softens the wire, and makes is easily mouldable. The links are then made by wrapping this softened wire around the desired shaped spit. Once we have the links ready, they are then sawn, ready for linking or moulding into the long rectangular shapes. Each link is then joined together one by one, individually soldered, and then twisted. Finally a carabiner clasp is added to complete the bracelet.

As soon as we have created the perfect bracelet, the piece is sent to the assay in the Jewellery Quarter, where it is checked and receives the 925 stamp, offering assurance that this piece is of the highest silver quality. The item is then highly polished using our expert machinery.

❉ I want to order more than the quantity posted on Etsy, is this possible?

❉ How is my item packaged?

We understand the importance of perfectly packaged items- it is almost as important as the chain itself!

All gift wrapped items are boxed and sent in environmentally friendly white rose wrapping paper, before being completed with a black or rose gold ribbon bow, for that additional luxurious touch. Items are then sent using Royal Mail tracked delivery service.


❉ How can I take care of my new purchase?

Your beautiful bracelet should be sturdy enough to be worn every day! There is nothing worse than having a piece you love and something breaks, so we have taken extra time when soldering every link to make sure that doesn't happen. However, sterling silver is an alloy of silver, made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals such as copper. These metals can react with chemicals in the air, creating a black surface coating known as tarnish. Fortunately, tarnish doesn't harm the underlying metal, and can be removed fairly easily. You can help to slow down natural tarnish buildup by cleaning your silver regularly, we would recommend cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, however you can also purchase specialist silver cleaners if the tarnish build up is particularly bad over time. You should keep your silver jewellery away from chlorinated water, perfumes and cleaning products. The great news is wearing your silver jewellery every day will help slow down the tarnishing, so where your bracelet with pride!
