# Pricey Luxury Paperclips These Golden Paperclips are for People Who Can Afford to Make it Rain By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-08-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-it-rain References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/367627349396553801/Solid-14k-Gold-Paperclip-Money-Clip) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Paper-Clip-Money-Clip-87019/dp/B0073H1TLM?tag=trenhunt0f-20) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/writing-instruments) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Stationary:** The trend of luxury stationary offers opportunities for innovative and high-end designs for everyday office supplies. - **Unique Materials:** The trend of using unique materials, such as gold, in everyday objects presents opportunities for creating exclusive and valuable products. - **Status Symbol Accessories:** The trend of status symbol accessories, like gold paperclips, provides opportunities for businesses to cater to consumers looking for high-end and luxurious products to showcase their wealth. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry can explore the creation of luxury versions of everyday items, such as paperclips, to cater to affluent consumers. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can venture into producing unique and extravagant accessories using materials typically associated with high-end jewelry, like gold paperclips. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessories industry can incorporate luxury stationary items, like gold paperclips, as fashion accessories to appeal to consumers looking for unique and high-end products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxe Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade-gold-class-knives.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Rhinestone Earphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glam-earpods-holder.md) - [Energizing Gold-Plated Cufflinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-hour-energy-cufflinks.md) - [Gold-Plated Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush.md) - [Inflation-Themed Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneylighter.md) - [Tactical Titanium Money Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-martindale-money-clip.md) - [Laser-Engraved Titanium Money Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-titanium-money-clip.md) - [14k Gold Noodle Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-macaroni-necklace.md) - [Limited-Edition Cannabis Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-stash-boxes.md)
