6 Times Office Supplies Made the Best Jewelry

6 Times Office Supplies Made the Best Jewelry

Remember back in middle school when you’d link some paper clips together to make a bracelet or paint your nails with Wite-Out? Yeah, this is nothing like that. As office supplies seem to be making a comeback — in the form of jewelry, that is — we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites that are sure to have you longing for those back-to-school shopping days. Scroll down for six baubles with a cheeky twist.


Hillier Bartley Gold-Plated Swarovski Crystal Earring

Just in case you weren’t sure what we meant when we say “must-have,” this paperclip earring is exactly what we had in mind — and well worth the investment.

Monserat De Lucca Measuring Tape Brass Ring

Spice up your ring party with this ruler-inspired number. It perfectly wraps around your finger for a measured statement, don’t you think?

Lauren Klassen Sterling Silver Pushpin Earring

We’ll get right to the point: This tough-girl bauble is one moto jacket and red lip away from becoming your new badass uniform.

Erica Weiner Pen Nib Necklace

Calling all history nerds! The eponymous jewelry designer found these vintage pens in an old barn and turned them into a surprisingly chic, old-timey accessory.

Carrie Hoffman Jewelry Staple Earring

The 14K gold stud is dainty enough to wear daily and can be worn through both your first and second piercings simultaneously — that’s like two for the price of one.

Alex Monroe Scissor Stud Earrings

Add a bit of whimsy to your look with this playful pair. Make sure to keep the rest of your outfit polished (a crisp button-up, leather skinnies) to avoid an overly-cutesy vibe.
