Permanent jewelry has been taken by storm in New Jersey and Pennsylvania! These welded bracelets, anklets, and even necklaces have become a trendy way to accessorize. But with something permanently attached, the question lingers: is permanent jewelry safe?

The good news is, permanent jewelry is perfectly safe when done correctly by a professional. Here’s the lowdown: permanent jewelry will use a specialized micro welder to gently weld a high-quality chain (often 14k gold) closed to your chosen spot. It’s a painless and quick process, leaving you with a chic and convenient accessory.

Knowing The Risks

While generally safe, it’s important to consider some potential downsides:

  • Metal Allergies: Some people may have allergies to certain metals, particularly nickel which can sometimes be present in gold-filled jewelry. To avoid this, we ask that you know if your allergies and if having a permanent piece is safe for your health. Often 14k gold is the best option for people who have allergies.
  • Swelling and Tightness: Our bodies aren’t always the same size. Temporary swelling due to injury, food consumption, heat, and even pregnancy might make your permanent jewelry feel tight or loose. Communicate any concerns with your permanent jewelry artist beforehand.

Other Considerations for Permanent Jewelry

Here are some additional things to keep in mind for your permanent jewelry journey:

  • Delicate Chains: Be mindful of the chain’s thickness or lack of it, especially for active lifestyles. We like to offer dainty chains as they offer a breaking point , however, keep it mind permanent does not mean indestructible and these delicate chains may snag and break if caught
  • Style Versatility: Permanent jewelry offers a limited number of design options. Consider if it will complement your diverse wardrobe.
  • Removal Process: If you ever need to remove your permanent jewelry, it will require cutting the welded spot with scissors or nail cutters. We do offer re-welds in case you ever need to remove your permanent jewelry.
