ACCESSORIZING WITH CHAINS:
HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR UNIQUE STYLE

Unlock the versatility of accessories with metal chains! 

Eye-catching, affordable jewelry comes in a variety of chain styles, including rope, curb, and paperclip links. Some necklace and bracelet chains are embellished with striking pendants and refined charms, while others are strung with eclectic beads and glimmering gems. 

Wear your shining chains on their own or layered with other standout pieces to make your wardrobe gleam! Here are some of the chain types you can find in the Paparazzi Accessories shop and how to style them to take your outfits to the next level.

INTERWOVEN ROPE CHAINS

The tightly interwoven links of rope chains give necklaces and bracelets a sleek, mesh-like appearance that mimics the braided texture of traditional rope materials. Thicker rope chains have amplified link details that make a bold statement when paired with oversized pendants. 

Dainty rope chains have a more low-key profile with twisting links that direct the eye downward to attached gems and beads. Pair your rope chains with an embroidered vest or eyelet top to coordinate your outfit with the textile-inspired materials of your accessories.

 

CHUNKY CURB CHAINS

Curb chains pack a punch of attitude with thick links that fit together snugly. Styling a chunky curb chain with a scoop neck top perfectly showcases the necklace’s modern, industrial silhouette above the fabric. The exaggerated geometric links of larger curb chains demand attention and add unapologetic flair to structured blouses and graphic tees. 

To add a touch of glamour to an edgy look, choose a curb chain with glistening rhinestones embedded in the links. Layer a delicate curb chain with other metallic necklaces to create a bold neck mess with endless depth and visual interest.

 

SLEEK SNAKE CHAINS

The smooth, glinting metal of a snake chain frames statement pendants, discs, gems, or charms without stealing the spotlight. Snake chains create an elevated look while complementing both vivid and neutral color palettes. Select dreamy, flowing fabrics like satin, organza, and lace to replicate the shimmering movement of your snake chain and create an ethereal vibe.

 

TIMELESS CABLE CHAINS

If you prefer to accessorize with classic, simple pieces, shop for refined cable chain necklaces and bracelets. The interconnected oval links of cable chains transcend trends and radiate a subtle gleam that adds a touch of quiet luxury to day-to-evening fashion and closet staples. 

Wear your cable chain necklace with a high-necked blouse or button-down shirt to enhance the sophistication of your professional wardrobe.

 

TRENDY PAPERCLIP CHAINS

The chic, elongated links of paperclip chains make an excellent base for charm necklaces and bracelets. Wear this trendy chain style on its own or be bold and create a maximalist look by adding it to a stack of various chains to add texture and dimension.

Pairing a paperclip chain with a crisp, white t-shirt and jeans will elevate your everyday streetwear from casual to curated in an instant. A paperclip chain embellished with an array of charms can also inject creativity and cool-girl energy into a polished, formal outfit.

 

INTRICATE FIGARO CHAINS

Alternating link shapes and sizes give figaro chains their unique, multi-faceted appearance. These chains have rounded and elongated links that twist and shimmer in the light when you wear them as a bracelet or necklace. If you want to add a layer of intricate detail to a classic dress, blouse, or t-shirt, reach for a figaro chain with a texturized pendant or collection of whimsical charms. 

Layer these dynamic chains with other simple pieces to craft a fresh, effortless ensemble that complements fashion trends ranging from laid-back to prim-and-proper. 

 

 

DELICATE DAINTY CHAINS

The link styles of dainty chains can vary, but their refined aesthetics always create a subtle, feminine effect that doesn’t overpower the other components of your outfit. For a brunch date or girls’ night out, opt for a delicate bracelet or necklace with satellite patterns. These patterns incorporate small metal balls between the links to soften and sweeten classic chains.

Wear dainty jewelry with feminine fashion silhouettes and whimsical styles like plaids, stripes, or floral patterns to achieve a cottage-core summer look.
