Product Insights
Pilgrim's Paperclip Chain is a 48 CAD, in-stock layering essential built around a clear promise: an airy, 19-inch paperclip line that drapes at the collarbone and adjusts via its snap-hook clasp to near-choker length, while its open links keep the look light and mobile. Its core distinction is material integrity—a base metal made of at least 75% recycled brass from pre-consumer waste, genuinely free of lead and nickel even under the plating (14k gold or 925 silver), so nickel-allergy-prone skin can wear it directly and safely as the finish wears. The main tradeoff is care: the finish is not waterproof, demands removal before water, sleep, and sports, and only dry-microfiber cleaning; oxidation is natural and unavoidable, with care merely slowing it—so buyers trade durability of surface for skin-safe, responsibly sourced materials and a versatile, one-handed clasp that also layers readily with other Pilgrim pieces. Compared to a similar PAVOI chain, it hangs about 3 cm lower at full extension, and while its raw price eclipses PAVOI's, the USD gap complicates direct comparison.
Verified claims
- Recycled materials
- At least 75% of the base-metal weight is recycled brass from pre-consumer waste, confirmed by external audits.
- Allergens
- Pilgrim's recycled-brass base is lead- and nickel-free, so nickel-allergy-prone skin can wear it directly.
- Nickel safety
- Base metal under the plating is free of lead and nickel, even as the plating wears.
- Plating quality
- The Gold finish is gold-plated and the Silver finish is silver-plated, both over the same recycled-brass base; Pilgrim does not publish a karat, sterling, or micron plating spec for either finish.
- Care routine
- Not a waterproof finish: remove before water, sleep, and sports; clean only with a dry microfiber cloth.
- Oxidation
- Oxidation is natural and unavoidable even with care; proper care only slows it, never stops it.
- Drop
- The 19-inch (48 cm) drop lands at or just below the collarbone and stays put across crew and V-necks.
- Adjustability
- The clasp fastens into any link along the 9 cm extender, so the chain adjusts continuously from a shorter near-choker setting to the 19-inch (48 cm) listed length.
- Visual line
- Open paperclip links keep the 19-inch line airy and light, and the profile is minimal, classic, and unisex; the chain drapes with movement.
- Usability
- Snap-hook clasp locks closed and is easier one-handed than a standard lobster clasp.
- Layering
- Designed in Denmark by Pilgrim, the chain is positioned as an essential everyday piece that layers easily with other Pilgrim necklaces.
- Length comparison
- At full extension it hangs about 3 cm lower than PAVOI Chain Necklace for Women, 14K Gold Plated Adjustable Layering Chain.
- Value
- C$48 at Simons and €34.95 EU list; PAVOI $17.45 is USD, so a raw price gap requires conversion.
- Color options
- The Silver and Gold colourways both list at 48 CAD and are in stock; only their finish tone differs.
- Recycled content
- The chain's base is recycled brass, which accounts for the minimum 75% recycled metals (75% recycled metals / 25% mixed metals); the recycled brass comes from pre-consumer and post-industrial waste, while the plating and small parts like the clasp are not recycled.

Audiences, workflows, and fit — owner_of_a_small_pilgrim_necklace_stack
For an owner of a small collection of Pilgrim necklaces, the Ronja paperclip chain is positioned by Pilgrim's own retail copy as an essential foundational layer for existing Pilgrim chains, and the 40 cm chain plus 9 cm extension provides the adjustment range a stack wearer needs to align the bold rectangular links with shorter or longer existing necklaces.[7,8]
wearing the necklace directly on bare skin
Pilgrim's recycled-brass base is lead- and nickel-free, so nickel-allergy-prone skin can wear it directly.[4]
wearing a necklace next to bare skin
Base metal under the plating is free of lead and nickel, even as the plating wears.[1,2,3,4]
