PAVOI's pearl paperclip chain necklace pairs genuine cultured pearls with a modern oversized paperclip chain in 14K gold plating — a layering piece that wears as beautifully alone as it does stacked. The combination of structured chain and organic pearl creates a contrast that looks far more expensive than its ~$25 price point. PAVOI uses 18K gold plated over 925 sterling silver on their best collections; the paperclip version uses gold-plated brass with a nickel-free hypoallergenic coating. One of the most-returned-to gift picks in affordable jewellery — arrives in clean PAVOI packaging, ready to gift. The 18-inch adjustable length suits most necklines.

• Cultured pearls + paperclip chain — modern contrast design
• Nickel-free hypoallergenic plating — sensitive skin safe
• ~$25 — gift-ready packaging at a fraction of fine jewellery price
• Layers naturally with simple chains and pendants
• Gold-plated brass — not sterling silver; plating wears with daily use
• Cultured not freshwater pearls — lustre varies between pieces
