Paperclip Drop Earrings
Gold-tone paperclip-link drop earrings with a front piece and hanging links — the chain look as an earring, quoted per pair.
Stainless Steel Earrings · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
Long drop earrings where a fine chain carries the design: bezel-set stones are fixed as stations down the run, in clear cubic zirconia or a mixed colourway. The range also covers oval-link crystal chains and a princess-cut chain with a star motif. Made in 316L stainless steel, gold tone.




Overview
The drop is a chain rather than a solid bar, and the design is in what is fixed along it. Each stone sits in a metal bezel that is linked into the chain, so the stations are held evenly down the run instead of bunched at the end; there is no strung bead to fray. The range sets round, square, baguette, marquise and teardrop stones this way, and it also runs an oval-link chain set with a line of crystals and a princess-cut chain that carries a star motif.
Colour is the other choice. Some styles stay clear, others work through a mixed colourway of pink, amber, purple, blue and green, and a few use a coloured stone rather than cubic zirconia; where that is the case we describe it simply as stone. Because it is a range, each chain is quoted as its own line, so a mixed run is normal and you take only the drops your market sells. Steel tone is also quoted if you run a steel-colour wall.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 316L stainless steel | The chains, settings and posts are 316L, so they do not tarnish and are safe for daily wear. |
| Cubic zirconia | The clear stations are cubic zirconia, a man-made stone, so colour stays even across a run; where a coloured stone is used we describe it simply as stone. |
| Gold tone | A PVD gold-tone finish over steel; thickness is quoted per micron. |
316L
Every design on this page is made in 316L stainless steel — the molybdenum-bearing austenitic grade, and the same grade specified for surgical implants and marine fittings. The “L” is low carbon, which is what keeps chain links and hollow forms sound at the joins.
Grades are worth stating rather than implying, because 316L, 304 and 201 look identical in a photograph and differ by real money per tonne. We name the grade on every design. If your market needs documentation with the goods, tell us and we will confirm what is available on this design before you order.
| Property | 316L stainless steel |
|---|---|
| Designation | 316L (AISI/ASTM) · SUS316L under JIS · 1.4404 under EN |
| Composition | Chromium 16–18%, nickel 10–14%, molybdenum 2–3%, carbon 0.03% max |
| Why 316L and not 304 or 201 | Molybdenum is what resists chlorides, and neither of the cheaper grades contains any |
| Tarnish and rust | Does not tarnish, and does not rust from everyday wear, sweat or water |
| Skin | Hypoallergenic for most wearers, and not nickel-free — it contains 10–14% nickel by specification |
| Specified for | Surgical implants (ASTM F138) and marine fittings, which is where the “surgical” and “marine grade” labels come from |
