Permanent Jewelry FAQs
What is permanent jewelry?
Permanent jewelry has taken the internet by storm. It is bracelets, necklaces, or anklets that are welded right onto you so there is no clasp and they don't come off. That sounds scary, but it's not at all. There is zero pain on your end whatsoever!
What materials are the chains made of?
We use 14k gold-filled and sterling silver chains. They are great options for permanent jewelry because they're hypoallergenic, won't tarnish, and are durable.
Where can I get it?
We have two locations within Metro Detroit!
Royal Oak Location:

Can I get a clasp?
No worries, we've got you covered. If you aren't into something being permanent, we can put a clasp on it for you so it's a piece you can take on and off.
What if I want/need to take it off?
If for any reason you want to remove your jewelry, simply cut it off with scissors or wire cutters. We suggest cutting it where the connecting link we added is so you can save the chain & we can reconnect it in the future if you ever want to.
Can I go through TSA with it on?
Yes! You can keep your permanent on while going through airport security.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
We are picky about the materials we work with for permanent jewelry.
14k gold-filled chain is really resistant to tarnishing which makes it a great option for permanent jewelry. There are a few rare circumstances where you will find GF tarnish such as your body's pH and extended exposure to chemicals. Wash your jewelry with mild soap and water to keep it clean and looking sparkly!
The more you wear sterling silver, the better it looks. The natural friction and oil from your body will help keep your silver nice and shiny. If for any reason it starts looking dull, you can rub a polishing cloth over it to shine it back up.
What is your reweld policy?
The minimalist appearance and ease of wearing permanent jewelry makes it the perfect choice for everyday wear. Despite the fact that you do not take it on and off each day, they are still delicate pieces of jewelry that can break.
Should your bracelet, anklet or necklace:
• Get caught on something
• Break
• Stretch
Visit us at a pop-up, walk-in to either of our storefronts or book an appointment for a Permanent Jewelry Adjustment! If we are unable to repair the chain or you want to different style chain we will offer you a discount to replace the chain.
