Cheviot Hills (The Paper Clip Chain)

Do you want a statement chain that is rich on symbolism, and holds high aesthetic value? 

The paper clip itself was invented in Norway before World War I as a convenient way of holding paper together, but the paper clip chain held much more important  significance some 30 years later. During World War II, making a chain or necklace using paper clips, became a non-violent symbol of the Norwegian resistance movement so much so, that you would get arrested if caught wearing one. It was the idea of "We are Bound Together" that made the paper clip chain so compelling and momentous, and the design still carries a somber reflection to the significance of unity in times of adversary.  

Symbolism and sentiment aside, this is a gorgeous design, and a brilliant statement piece by itself. The chain plays really well with others, and will complement any subtle or dainty chain it's paired with. Whether you're dressing up, or down, the paper clip chain is both timeless and modern, and can be worn both as a collarbone enhancer, or longer with a focus on the cleavage. 

Cheviot Hills comes in three different lengths as pictured, and the chain is 3 mm wide making it hit that purposeful sweet spot of not being too dominant, but still making an entrance.

If you're looking for a sleek statement piece with a nod to the sentiment of courage, this is your new favorite chain.
