Frequently asked questions
What is permanent jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is a custom-fitted piece of jewelry that is welded closed around your wrist, ankle, neck, or other desired placement. There is no clasp, creating a seamless look designed to be worn every day.
Does getting permanent jewelry hurt?
Not at all! The welding process is quick and painless. You may see a tiny flash of light, but the spark does not touch your skin.
What metals do you offer?
We currently offer 14K gold-filled and .925 sterling silver options.
Can I get a clasp instead?
Absolutely! If you love the jewelry but aren’t ready for a permanent piece, a clasp can be added so you can remove and rewear it.
How long does permanent jewelry last?
With proper care, your piece can last for a long time. Its longevity depends on the chain, placement, and how you wear and care for it.
Can I shower and swim with my permanent jewelry?
Yes, but frequent exposure to chlorine, salt water, and harsh chemicals can affect your jewelry over time. We recommend following our jewelry care guidelines to keep your piece looking its best.
What if my permanent jewelry breaks?
If your chain breaks, save the piece if possible and reach out to us. We’ll help determine the best next step.
