Paper Clip and Ring Bracelet

I bought a batch of wholesale fashion rings from eBay a few years ago. They were wonderfully simple rings that I did not wear. What does a girl do with a hundred rings? Here is what I did: (I also happen to have an enormous collection of paper clips.)

The paper clip ring "bracelet" on my wrist.

I basically attached a few paper clips and rings together and folded it into a bracelet. The rings a silver on the outside with some different colors on the inside. It gives a subtle bit of color and shimmer to a fabulously unique bracelet.

I don't wear this often, but I get a few compliments and inquiries when I do. I think it is something cute to pair with some cute and boringly casual clothes. It spices an outfit up without too much spice.

Unfolded form and a closeup.

It can also be worn as a necklace, but I think I would need to add some more paper clip to give it that long, layered kind of look.

This is nothing fancy, but I'm here to throw ideas out. What do you think?

  1. I love it! I think this is a great idea. I am going to give it a try some time. I actually did something with paper clips before. It wasn't jewelry or anything cute, but you can read it on my blog.

    It is a bit silly, but I love paper clips.

  4. Rachel, thank you. I will definitely check out that post on your blog. I miss my old blog too, but it was time to move on. I am glad my old followers are returning.

    Anon, I have mentioned that I purchased my rings off of Ebay. I cannot remember the seller or exact shop. Just do a search for wholesale rings if you are interested. Good luck.

  5. i notice that you use one ring for every two paper clips. maybe you should try one ring for every clip. if you know what i mean

  6. This is a cute idea, but perhaps you want to use some sort of chain instead of paper clips. I think that would make it fantastic. I would definitely buy something like that.
