10K Gold Medium Paperclip Chain Necklace vs Primal Gold 10K Rope Chain

Buy the paperclip chain if you want a modern, visible link that layers well and can be clipped shorter or worn as a lariat. Buy the Primal Gold rope if you want a thin, sparkly chain that reads as a fine, delicate necklace on its own. The paperclip has hollow links, so it is lighter and more prone to denting than a solid rope. The rope is solid 10K with a diamond-cut finish that catches light, but at 1.15mm it is very fine and its own listing is inconsistent on length and karat.

• Choose the paperclip chain if you want a 4.5mm link you can see, layer, and clip at any length.
• Choose the Primal Gold rope if you want a solid, diamond-cut chain that sparkles and sits close to the neck.
