How to Style It
The tiny paperclip link reads clean against the collarbone, so it layers well under chunkier chains or wears alone when you want something quiet. For a balanced charm arrangement, start with three to five pieces and space them at natural intervals along the chain, asymmetry is welcome here. A pearl charm near center, a small gemstone drop to one side, and a subtle symbol charm on the other is a combination that works from daily wear straight through to a golden hour dinner. Mix our freshwater pearl and natural stone charms to make your own necklace that shifts with the season. Free shipping on orders over $80.
The Charmlab by PRASINOUS Story
Charmlab by PRASINOUS was born from the same coastal spirit that runs through everything PRASINOUS makes. The idea is simple: give you a beautiful, durable base and let the charms do the storytelling. Every chain in this line is hand-finished with the same care we bring to our pearl and gemstone pieces. Whether you are building a necklace for yourself or curating one as a gift, this is affordable luxury that feels considered, not mass-produced. New charm drops arrive monthly, so the design you build today can grow and shift the way the tides do.
FAQ
Is the chain real gold, and will it tarnish?
The chain is gold plated stainless steel with a 14k gold tone finish. Stainless steel as the base material makes it significantly more resistant to tarnish than brass or copper alternatives, and the nickel-free plating keeps it comfortable for sensitive skin. To extend its life, keep it dry and store it in the included pouch when not wearing it.
Can I add charms from the PRASINOUS catalog to this chain?
Yes. This chain is the base for the entire Charmlab by PRASINOUS build-your-own system. Browse PRASINOUS charms, tap to add or remove them in the product preview, and your design updates instantly. Charms are sold separately unless you select them during checkout alongside this base chain.
Which length should I choose for everyday wear?
The 18-inch length sits just below the collarbone on most necklines and is our most popular choice for everyday wear and layering. If you prefer a tighter, trend-forward fit, the 14-inch choker or 16-inch length sits higher on the neck. The 20-inch and 22-inch options drop lower and work well when layering with shorter chains for a stacked look.

F.A.Q.
Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the chain is made from gold-plated stainless steel that is built to resist tarnish and hold up to daily wear. It is also nickel-free, so it sits comfortably on sensitive skin.
Does this necklace layer well with other pieces?
The tiny paperclip chain has a dainty, minimal profile that sits close to the neck and pairs naturally with other necklaces at varying lengths. It works especially well as a base layer when you build it out with a few small charms.
Would this make a good bridesmaid or best friend gift?
It is a thoughtful option because the recipient can choose and swap charms to reflect their own style, making it feel personal rather than generic. The customizable nature and everyday wearability make it a practical gift as well as a sentimental one.
Do charms come included, or do I need to add them separately?
The listing includes one base chain, and charms are sold separately unless you select them during the customization process. You can tap charms to add them to your design and see the look update instantly before purchasing.
