Permanent Jewelry
FAQs

Also known as ‘forever’ or ‘infinity’ jewelry, permanent jewelry is a custom-fit accessory that you wear 24/7 without a clasp. After you design your bracelet, anklet, or necklace with your favorite chain and charms, our Spark Techs safely and painlessly spark weld your accessory closed. The result is a seamless, effortlessly wearable piece of jewelry that moves with you every day! We also offer lobster and magnetic clasps for folks who want to design their own custom piece of jewelry without the permanent part.

No need to miss out if the clasp-free life isn’t for you! There are plenty of reasons you might want to remove your jewelry - like work, sensory preferences, and having young kids that love to grab and pull shiny things. Simply choose our ‘Add A Clasp’ option to create a custom-fit necklace, bracelet, or anklet you can remove whenever you want!

The process is simple and tons of fun! 1. Choose Your Chain You’ll start by browsing our beautiful variety of 14k gold fill and .925 sterling silver chain styles. We encourage experimenting – you’re welcome to handle the chains on display and drape them over your wrist to help you decide which style is perfect for you! 2. Add Your Flair! This is where your creativity kicks in – if you want to add a pop of personality to your piece, look no further than our collection of charms, connectors, and gemstone embellishments. You can also add a clasp if you prefer an accessory you can easily take on and off. 3. ✨Spark Your Lasting Look✨ Once you’ve chosen your chain and charms, it’s time to make it official with your new jewelry! You’ll move to the application area where one of our friendly spark techs will safely, painlessly, and permanently weld your bracelet closed with a matching jump ring.

If you want to extend the life of your permanent jewelry, maintaining a regular care routine is key! Dirt and oil will build up in your chain naturally as you wear it 24/7, so make sure you’re giving your jewelry the ‘spa time’ it needs to look its best. 14k Gold Fill As our most tarnish resistant option, gold fill will keep its beautiful luster for months to years of continuous wear with proper care. Regularly remove oil and dirt buildup from your chain with the provided spoolie brush and Dawn soap, then dry and buff with a gold safe jewelry polishing cloth. Avoid using silver polishing cloths on gold fill, as the extra abrasives will wear down the gold layer of your jewelry more rapidly. .925 Sterling Silver Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time - this is totally normal, and the main reason why we recommend gold fill for those who want a lower maintenance piece of permanent jewelry. But if those cool silver tones are a must-have for you, no need to worry! Silver beautifully buffs back to its original shine even if it begins to tarnish. You can keep your sterling permanent jewelry shiny and tarnish-free by regularly cleaning dirt and oil from your chain with the provided spoolie brush and Dawn soap, followed by drying and buffing with a silver jewelry polishing cloth. For a heavier shine restoration, scrub with a paste of warm water and baking soda.

We like to compare permanent jewelry to permanent hair color – how long it lasts depends on how well you care for it and how long you want to keep it! Your permanent jewelry will last months to years, depending on the chain material you choose, personal care products, your lifestyle, and how well you maintain your piece. Here are a few things that can impact the lifespan of your personal jewelry: Excessive exposure to harsh chemicals and moisturizers. This includes lotions, perfumes, hair remover (like Nair), self-tanner, and cleaning products. Frequent exposure to chlorinated water or sulfurous well water. If you find yourself in pools and hot tubs often, or have very hard well water, we recommend getting your bracelet with a clasp. Naturally high skin pH Everyone’s body is different – if you already notice that you ‘turn’ jewelry quickly or frequently get gray or green skin stains from wearing metals like silver, your skin’s pH will likely behave the same way with your permanent jewelry. Pregnancy and some medications can also increase this effect.

If you need to take your jewelry off for any reason (like for an MRI or X-ray), you can carefully cut open the welded jump ring with a pair or wire clippers, nail trimmers, or kitchen scissors. When you’re ready to have it re-applied, we’re happy to weld it back together at no additional cost!
