Permanent Jewelry FAQ

A considered detail, made personal. Explore what to know before your permanent jewelry appointment, from choosing a chain to caring for it over time.

What is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is joined in place of a clasp using a welding procedure. It is intended for long-term wear, but “permanent” does not mean indestructible or impossible to remove.

What materials can I choose?

Before choosing your chain, ask us to confirm its exact material and the options available for your appointment. If you are comparing gold-filled and sterling-silver pieces, ask about the specific chain’s composition and care requirements rather than choosing on color alone. Discuss any known metal sensitivities before proceeding; we do not promise that a piece will be suitable for every skin type.

Can I wear my jewelry every day?

Your jewelry is intended for ongoing wear, but its lifespan varies with physical activity, maintenance, and other factors. Avoid excessive force or impact, and keep it away from lotions, perfumes, and cleaning agents. Everyday wear is not a guarantee against damage or loss.

Will it look the same over time?

We do not promise an unchanged finish or a fixed length of wear. Ask about the expected appearance and maintenance of your selected chain before your appointment. Regular gentle cleaning and careful wear are part of maintaining your piece.

How do I choose a comfortable fit?

Ask to check the fit before the jewelry is joined, and speak up if it feels tight, catches, or is uncomfortable. Discuss your preferred fit, daily activities, and any skin sensitivities with the practitioner before proceeding. Discomfort, irritation, and allergic reactions are among the risks described in our consent information.

What happens if my jewelry gets snagged?

Excessive force or impact can damage your jewelry. It is not indestructible, and we do not promise that it will break away in a particular way. If a piece catches or becomes uncomfortable, stop pulling on it. Contact us for guidance on adjustments or reattachment. If you are injured, seek appropriate medical care.

Can I remove it?

Our care instructions explain that the jewelry can be removed by cutting the jump ring with scissors. If you are unsure how to do this safely, contact us for help rather than attempting it yourself.

Can my jewelry be resized, repaired, or reattached?

Contact us for professional adjustments or reattachment. We will need to discuss your piece before confirming whether resizing or repair is suitable. Ask about available options and any charges before arranging a service; this FAQ does not promise free repairs or replacement for damage or loss.

How should I clean and care for it?

Clean gently with mild soap and warm water, then pat dry with a soft cloth. Keep jewelry away from lotions, perfumes, and cleaning agents. Avoid excessive force or impact during physical activity, and limit prolonged heat or sunlight exposure, as advised in our care instructions. Contact us if the fit needs attention rather than adjusting the jewelry yourself.

Read our Care Instructions for ongoing reference.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Before booking, ask us to confirm the cancellation and rescheduling terms that apply to your appointment. If your plans change, contact us as soon as possible. This FAQ does not establish a cancellation deadline or refund entitlement.

What do I need to know about consent?

Please review our Permanent Jewelry Consent before proceeding. It explains the procedure, potential risks, aftercare, maintenance, and personal responsibility for the jewelry. Ask the practitioner any questions you have so you understand the information before giving consent.
