What is permanent jewellery?

With no clasp or tie, a permanent jewellery piece is welded together directly onto your body. A trained welder zaps the jewellery into place to secure a unique fit.

How permanent is permanent jewellery?

The answer is simple – it lasts as long as you like. It’s not as permanent as a tattoo, but it’s not an item that can be removed every day – it requires a considerable level of commitment. However, if you change your mind and decide that you don’t want it anymore, there are ways to cut it off.

Reasons for getting a piece of permanent jewellery can vary. From symbolising a powerful emotional connection to someone or simply reminding the wearer of a cherished memory. More often than not, a piece of permanent jewellery comes with meaning.

In terms of longevity, a piece of permanent jewellery’s lifespan can be impacted by the metal you choose. Most options come in solid 14k gold that’s designed to withstand daily activities, from showering to swimming. However, metals like gold are soft so it is very important to get the fit just right and allow some wiggle room so that it won’t snap easily.

Permanent jewellery comes in all different shapes and forms, from bracelets to anklets to necklaces and body chains.
