The Florence

Tall cousin of "The Franco". A bold staple with room to layer.

 

With longer links than "The Franco", this trending design was originally inspired by the Norwegians. In the early 20th century, Norwegian inventor Johan Vaaler patented the ubiquitous office paperclip. During WWII, Norwegians began wearing chains of paperclips as a symbol of unity and resistance to the Nazi party. Paperclip-shaped chain jewelry swiftly evolved with designers like Coco Chanel. ​
