Learn More About Collectible Paperweights

Open windows invite in breezes that can send important documents fluttering about the space, slowing down your work. Venetian glassmakers solved this problem by creating the paperweight, a tool with the primary purpose of holding down loose paper and keeping pages from flying away in a draft.

Paperweights aren't just useful implements for securing pages and documents. They're also wonderfully crafted artistic collectibles that are just as lovely as they are helpful. Made from a variety of materials in a tremendous assortment of forms and styles, there's a paperweight from sellers on Etsy that's the perfect accessory to adorn your desk or display shelf.

Whether you're looking for an exquisite collector's piece to give as a gift or need to keep printed pages weighed down on your desktop, you'll find a paperweight from a shop on Etsy that lets you do it in style. For a touch of inspiration, take a look at some of these popular paperweight varieties:

Figurine: A figurine paperweight is a fantastic option for someone who likes to collect objects related to their favorite fascination, such as airplanes, classic cars, or a particular animal.
Glass: Glass paperweights are stunning artistic creations often decorated with elaborate, colorful inclusions, such as small glass flowers or intricate eye-catching designs.
Geode: Cut and polished paperweight geodes make a fantastic desktop addition for the nature lover, geology enthusiast, and just about anybody who appreciates beauty.

Paperweights are uncomplicated items with a simple purpose, but they're also dazzling accessories for the office and make a wonderful display item for collections. Here are some wonderful paperweight gift-giving ideas for just about any occasion:

For a birthday, consider an antique or vintage paperweight from a time that holds significant meaning to the recipient.
