What Is Permanent Jewelry?

Permanent jewelry, simply put, is jewelry you can’t take off. It mostly comes in the form of a metal bracelet. It has ends welded together instead of a clasp. 

Usually, the chains offered by jewelers are dainty. You can choose from different designs, but most chains are made of 14k gold filled or quality sterling silver since these don’t tarnish quickly. Some of these chains can be embellished with gemstones if you wish.

How To Get Permanent Jewelry?

Are you interested in getting a permanent bracelet for yourself? Here’s how you can get one.

1. Book An Appointment 

Most jewelers that offer permanent bracelets only do so on a scheduled basis. If you’re interested in getting one, book an appointment slot on our website so that we will know when to expect you. 

Some places offer walk-in appointments, but the slots are not guaranteed and are limited. Links by Lena is open for walk-in appointments on the weekends but check their Facebook page beforehand to make sure they are not “popped-up” somewhere else.

2. Go To Your Appointment And Choose A Chain

Now that you have your appointment go to the jeweler’s place at the time you’ve booked. They will provide you with a portfolio of the chains they can use to make your permanent bracelet.

You can choose the design of your chain and what add-ons you want. Some such add-ons include gemstones and metal connectors. Charms are sometimes available too, but can snag easily. 

3. Fitting And Welding 

Once you’ve chosen your chain, the jewelers will measure it around your wrist, looking for a comfortable fit. This process can take anywhere between ten to fifteen minutes. After finding the perfect fit, they will weld both ends together. They use a laser for this step, placing a small cover on the area where they zap and link the ends.

Do Jewelers Offer Permanent Necklaces Or Anklets?

There are some, but not all.
