What is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry refers to pieces—most commonly bracelets and necklaces—welded or permanently closed so they are worn continuously. Typical materials include solid gold, gold-filled, sterling silver, and surgical stainless steel.
 

 

 

 

 

Materials & tools (what to choose)

Choose hypoallergenic metals if you have sensitive skin (14k/18k gold, surgical steel).

Use chains with appropriate link thickness — too thin is fragile, too thick is heavy.

Permanent closures are commonly done with a micro-welder or laser welder by a trained jeweler.

Step-by-step overview

1. Measure precisely — the jeweler measures wrist/neck for comfortable fit.
2. Choose the chain and finish (polish, texture, plating).
3. Test material for allergies if needed (nickel test).
4. Professional closure — a trained jeweler will weld the link, then polish the join so it’s smooth.
5. Final fit check and care instructions from the jeweler.
    

Note: Welding permanent jewelry requires specialist equipment and experience. For safety and longevity, use a reputable jeweler rather than attempting DIY welding.

Aftercare & safety

Clean gently with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.

Remove only when instructed by a professional (if removal is necessary, a jeweler will cut/repair it).

Inspect annually for wear if worn daily.
