Description

The Foundry Paperclip Necklace and Bracelet are chunky sterling silver toggle chains made from solid .925 sterling silver, with oversized elongated paperclip links, substantial weight and a bold toggle clasp. Beautifully polished and intentionally weighty, Foundry has the kind of presence you can feel the moment you pick it up.

An Amy Waltz Designs original, Foundry takes the classic sterling silver paperclip chain and gives it more substance. Oversized sterling silver links create a clean, modern silhouette, while the polished toggle clasp becomes an important part of the design. On the necklace, wear the clasp traditionally at the back or bring it around to the front and let it become the focal point.

Choose the Foundry Paperclip Necklace, Foundry Paperclip Bracelet or wear the two together for a bold, coordinated look.

The Meaning Behind Foundry

A foundry is a place where metal is transformed, shaped and given new form. We chose the name Foundry because it speaks to the strength and substance of these pieces and to our own deep connection to working with metal.

There is something beautifully symbolic about transformation through strength. Foundry is a reminder that the experiences that shape us can also make us stronger, more dimensional and entirely our own.

Design & Materials

Foundry is made from solid .925 sterling silver with oversized, elongated paperclip links that give both the necklace and bracelet their distinctive weight and presence.

These are not delicate paperclip chains designed to disappear. Their substantial feel is intentional and one of the things that makes Foundry so special. The weight of the sterling silver, oversized links and high-polish finish create jewelry that feels every bit as beautiful as it looks.

A polished toggle clasp completes the design. On the necklace, position the toggle at the back for a clean line of sterling silver links or bring it around to the front and make the clasp part of the look.

How to Wear

The Foundry Necklace makes a statement all on its own. Wear it with a simple tee, an open neckline, a crisp button-down or something dressed up and let the substantial sterling silver links do the talking.

The Foundry Bracelet brings that same weight and scale to the wrist and looks beautiful worn alone or mixed with your favorite bracelets and bangles.

Wear the necklace and bracelet separately or pair them together when you want the full Foundry look.

Foundry was designed without boundaries. Its clean lines, substantial weight and solid sterling silver construction make it equally striking on a woman, a man or anyone drawn to jewelry with presence.

A Piece With Substance

Part of what makes Foundry exceptional is something you can't fully appreciate in a photograph: the weight.

Solid sterling silver gives both the necklace and bracelet a substantial feel that is immediately noticeable when you pick them up and put them on. From the oversized paperclip links to the toggle clasp, every element was chosen to give Foundry its distinctive presence.

This is jewelry meant to be felt, worn and kept.

Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time. To restore its shine, gently polish your Foundry piece with a soft silver polishing cloth as needed. Remove before swimming and avoid prolonged contact with lotions, perfumes and household chemicals. Store it in its box when not being worn to help protect the finish.

Packaging & Gifting

Each Foundry Necklace and Bracelet arrives gift packaged in our signature Amy Waltz Designs box. The solid sterling silver, substantial weight and timeless design make Foundry an especially memorable gift for a milestone birthday, anniversary, accomplishment or someone who appreciates beautiful jewelry with substance.

Sizing

Bangles are any closed circle bracelet.

SIZING DETAILS:
Extra Small/Small: 2.25" Diameter OR 7" Circumference
Medium: 2.50" Diameter OR 7.75" Circumference
Large: 2.75" Diameter OR 8.5" Circumference
XLarge: 3" Diameter OR 9 1/8" Circumference

TIPS FOR SIZING:
With bangles the tricky part is not the wrist but the largest part of the hand the bangle needs to pass over. To figure out your size, grab a flexible tape measure and squish your hand down (as if you're preparing to pass a bangle over it). Wrap the tape measure tightly around the biggest part of your hand. Then compare that measurement to the circumference above and select the size that works best for you. If it is a gift, the most common size is medium. If you're unsure it's always best to go bigger than smaller. If you are purchasing a personalized piece, because they are so highly specialized, they are final sale.

Please consider upsizing when you order 4+ rings or when the listing comes as a stack.

PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to stack FOUR or more rings on one finger, consider ordering 1/2 size bigger than your standard ring size for a more comfortable fit.

For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!

The most common size for necklaces is 18" and we have have found that's the safest length to select when buying as a gift. If you don't know your size, take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your neck and match the tape measure to the spot that feels best to you on the tape. That's your ideal length!

With necklaces where the chain is connected at two places on the top, please take into account that the top portion of the necklace is included in the measurement. With that knowledge, a 16" length may fit shorter than typical because the top is included in the circumference.

Cuffs are open in the back and meant to fit snug to the wrist.

SIZING TIPS:
We find that 80% of our customers fit into our standard 6.5" size. Please note that cuffs are intended to fit snug. To figure out your size, take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your wrist tightly to find your wrist's circumference. We suggest adding about 1/2" to your circumference for the best fit. For example, if your wrist measures 6", 6.5" size is your ideal size. Reach out to us if you have questions on sizing. We are here to help!

To measure your wrist, take a flexible tape measure (most sewing kits have them) and wrap it snugly around your wrist to find your wrist circumference.
To find the bracelet size, increase your wrist measurement by the increment below, based on how you’d like the bracelet to fit.

For a snug fit, add 1/4 ” to 1/2"
For a comfort fit, add 3/4" to 1"
For a loose fit, add 1" and 1/4"

The size that corresponds closest to your wrist measurement PLUS this increment is what you order. Average wrists measure 6"- 6.25"

Wide-banded rings are rings that are 1/2" or wider.

SIZING TIPS:
Some people find they need to upsize 1/2 size to a full size from their standard ring size for the most comfortable fit. It comes down to you, your fingers and how you like to wear your rings. We find most people only need 1/2 size increase. For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!

The narrow-banded ring band is typically less than 1/4" wide.

We handcraft each and every ring to order and work in US Ring Sizing Standards. With narrow banded rings, you can simply order in your standard ring size.

For your convenience, we offer a reusable ring sizing tool. These are wonderful if you don’t know your ring size!
