These Golden Paperclips are for People Who Can Afford to Make it Rain
Lacey-Jane Walsh — August 26, 2013 — Art & Design
These golden paperclips cater only to those who can afford to make it rain. While these are perfect for holding onto bills, it seems odd when one considers that the paperclip is easily worth more than the amount it can hold.
Since these bad boys are made entirely out of gold, it should come as no surprise that they're extremely durable. However, I suggest that consumers hold on to them tightly after purchasing. Considering how small they are, it would be easy to lose them.
Each of these gleaming paperclips contain 14k gold, which pretty much makes them the priciest pieces of stationary that one can own. Some people might look at this item and think "But why?" Well, why not folks? These golden paperclips are perfect for showing off.
