What is permanent jewelry?

A chain cut to your measure, closed with a spark.

Permanent jewelry is a fine chain fitted on you and welded shut where a clasp would be. Nothing to fasten, nothing to snag, nothing to lose at the beach.

Fitted
Measured on your wrist or ankle so it sits exactly where you like it.
Welded
One quick, painless spark closes the link.
Yours
Bracelets, anklets and necklaces. Add a charm, or stack a few.

Good to know

Before you book.

Does it hurt?
No. The weld is a tiny spark on the connecting ring, not on your skin.
Can it come off?
Yes. Snip the small connecting ring with scissors. Keep the chain and it can be welded back on.
Can I swim and shower in it?
Yes. Sterling silver and gold filled are both made for water. A rinse after the pool or hot tub keeps the shine.
What about airports and medical scans?
Fine chain rarely sets off airport security. For an MRI or surgery you may be asked to remove it, and it can be re-welded afterward.
Not ready for forever?
Any chain can be finished with a clasp instead.
