How do I care for my permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is designed to be worn continuously, offering a timeless and effortless addition to your everyday style. While it's made to last, a little care will help keep it looking its best. Here are a few simple tips:

💧 Daily Wear & Water Exposure

Your jewelry is crafted from durable, high-quality materials such as 14k gold or sterling silver, and it can safely be worn in the shower, while swimming, or during exercise. However, prolonged exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or harsh chemicals may cause some dulling over time. We recommend rinsing and gently drying your jewelry after such exposure.

✨ Cleaning & Maintenance

To maintain its natural shine, clean your jewelry occasionally using a soft cloth and mild soap with warm water. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush if needed, then rinse and pat dry. Avoid using abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners, which can damage the finish.

🔍 Regular Checks

Although the weld is secure, it’s wise to occasionally inspect your jewelry for any signs of wear—particularly if it gets tugged or caught on clothing. If you notice any concerns, visit your jeweler for an assessment or adjustment.

⚠️ General Precautions

While designed for daily wear, permanent jewelry is still delicate. Be mindful when putting on tight sleeves, carrying bags, or participating in activities that may pull or stress the chain. Treat it with the same care you would give to any fine jewelry.

With proper care, your permanent jewelry will remain a beautiful and enduring part of your style.

How long does it take to get a piece of permanent jewelry?

Once you choose your chain it takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes to fit and weld it closed. When scheduling with friends, be sure to consider a full 15 minutes per person for the appointment.
