What are permanent bracelets?

Permanent bracelets are bracelets designed to be worn permanently. They are made by custom fitting a chain to the wearer's wrist then welding it shut. With proper care they can last for years.
Can I remove a permanent bracelet?

While permanent bracelets are designed to be worn permanently they can easily be removed by simply cutting them off with a pair of wire cutters. Should you choose to have your bracelet reattached after removal we charge a $15 reattachment fee.
Do permanent bracelets hurt?

Not at all! During the process your skin is protected. You'll feel nothing and just see a quick flash of light.
How much does a permanent bracelet cost?

We offer sterling silver, gold filled, and solid 14K gold chains. Prices range from $50-$250.
Is there an age requirement?

Anyone under 18 years old will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The welding process does require you to be still so it may not be best suited for those under 5 years old.
What should I consider before getting a permanent bracelet?

Before getting a permanent bracelet you should consider if it is the right fit for you. If you have a job or a hobby where jewelry is required to be removed you should consider getting a removable bracelet instead. If you want the welded jewelry experience we can add a clasp to your bracelet in order to make it removable.
What are the benefits of wearing a permanent bracelet?

You don't have to worry about putting it on! It will be the easiest jewelry accessory you've ever owned! Some choose to wear permanent bracelets to commemorate a special occasion or event, while others wear it for its aesthetic appeal or as a symbol of their personal style.
How do I care for a permanent bracelet?

To care for your permanent bracelet you should keep it clean and free from dirt and debris. If your bracelet is dirty wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth.
