Question 1

Does it hurt to get permanent jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! The welding process is completely painless and safe. We use a specialized micro-welder that creates a small spark to fuse the chain ends together. You'll feel a slight warmth, but no pain. The process takes just a few seconds per piece.

Question 2

Can I shower and swim with permanent jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our permanent jewelry is designed for everyday wear, including showering, swimming, and exercising. The high-quality materials we use are water-resistant and won't tarnish with regular exposure to water. However, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals like chlorine when possible.

Question 3

How long does permanent jewelry last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, your permanent jewelry can last for years or even decades. We use durable materials and professional welding techniques to ensure longevity. We also offer lifetime maintenance and repair services to keep your pieces looking beautiful.

Question 4

What is permanent jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Permanent jewelry is a custom-fitted bracelet, anklet, or necklace designed without a clasp for a seamless, everyday look. A tiny spark from a professional welder closes the chain link for a secure fit.

Question 5

How is it put on?

Accepted Answer

Your piece is measured to fit perfectly, then welded in place with a quick, safe spark. No heat touches your skin — just a brief spark to fuse the link.

Question 6

How permanent is it?

Accepted Answer

"Permanent" means welded closed — not forever. Chains are designed to break under about 10 pounds of pressure for safety. With care, they can last years.

Question 7

Can I remove it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Snip at the welded link and save the chain for future reattachment.

Question 8

What materials do you use?

Question 20

Will my permanent jewelry tarnish?

Accepted Answer

Our high-quality materials are tarnish-resistant, but some natural patina may develop over time with sterling silver pieces. This is normal and can be easily cleaned. Gold fill and solid gold pieces maintain their color and shine with minimal care.

Question 21

Can I get my permanent jewelry cleaned professionally?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer complimentary cleaning services for life. You can also have it cleaned at most jewelry stores. Just let them know it's permanent jewelry so they handle it appropriately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically recommended.

Question 22

What about airport security and medical procedures?

Accepted Answer

Permanent jewelry rarely sets off airport security, but if it does, you can explain that it's permanent jewelry. For medical procedures like MRIs, you may need temporary removal, which we provide free of charge. We can re-weld it afterward.

Question 23

How do I care for my jewelry?

Accepted Answer

PVD stainless steel needs virtually no maintenance. Gold-filled and sterling silver prefer gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals like sunscreen or bug spray.

Question 24

What if it breaks?

If you still have the chain: repairs are free when it breaks at the jump loop — schedule an appointment and bring it in. If lost: within 30 days replacement is 50% of original cost; after 30 and within 60 days it’s 75%. Beyond this window, full replacement applies due to the safety release jump ring.

Question 25

Warranty & Repair Policy

Accepted Answer

If your chain breaks (and you still have it): Repairs are always free for pieces that break at the jump loop. Schedule an appointment at our College Park studio and bring the chain with you. If your chain breaks and is lost: Within 30 days → replacement is 50% of the original cost. After 30 days and within 60 days → replacement is 75% of the original cost. Because our chains are designed with a safety‑release jump ring, loss beyond these terms requires full replacement.
