Which is better for everyday wear?

Both are 10K gold with a lobster-claw clasp and polished finish, so durability is similar. The Figaro's flattened links lie flatter and snag less; the paperclip's open links can catch on knits.

Which layers better with other necklaces?

The Au Naturale paperclip is the easier layer. Its open links leave visible gaps, so a second chain shows through, and you can pick 16, 18, 20 or 24 inches to set the drop.

Is the Candela worth about $20 more?

Only if you want the Figaro pattern. The specs otherwise match: 10K gold, lobster-claw clasp, polished, nickel free. The Au Naturale also states its width and lengths, which the Candela listing does not.

Which is the better value?

The Au Naturale at $416.00 at Kohl's as of November 5, 2026 is the lower price and comes with stated width and four length options. The Candela at $435.98 at Target as of November 5, 2026 buys you the classic link pattern.

Both are solid 10K gold, not plated, so neither should tarnish the way gold-filled or plated chains do. Keep them away from chlorine and store them dry.

Which is easier to find on sale?

The Au Naturale is priced new at 4 stores, so there is more room to compare and wait for a markdown. The Candela is priced new at 1 store, so its price moves less.
