Permanent jewelry is all the rage, and if you're wondering what it's all about, you've come to the right place. In this post, we'll dive deep into the world of permanent jewelry, exploring how it works and the key differences between two popular materials: sterling silver and gold-filled.
What is permanent jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is the latest trend in custom jewelry. Unlike traditional jewelry that you take off at night, permanent jewelry becomes a part of you. It's typically used for bracelets, anklets, chains, and more, allowing you to add a touch of elegance to your look without the daily hassle of putting on and taking off your jewelry.
How does permanent jewelry work?
You can find permanent jewelry at some brick-and-mortar jewelry stores or at local pop-ups and markets. There is typically a selection of chains for you to choose from. Once you have chosen your chain material and style, the technician will custom-fit your piece to your liking and attach it with a small metal link. When you're happy with the length of your bracelet, anklet, or chain, the technician will spot-weld the link in place using a portable welding machine. A quick polish of the jewelry and you're done!
What are the best metals for permanent jewelry?
Solid white, yellow, or rose gold is hypoallergenic, tarnish-free, and high-quality, making it an ideal choice for your new body jewelry. However, solid gold jewelry is typically high-end and hard to find at pop-up jewelry businesses. Sterling silver is also hypoallergenic and tarnish-free, with quality comparable to solid gold but without the price tag. Gold-filled chain is also a great choice for permanent jewelry because it lasts long with care, provides a gold-colored option, and is more budget-friendly than solid gold.
How much does permanent jewelry cost?
Julia Allen Studio permanent jewelry starts at $35 for a sterling silver bracelet or $45 for a gold-filled bracelet. Prices increase based on the length of the chain and the chain you choose. You can expect to pay up to $85 for sterling silver or gold-filled bracelets or up to $300 for solid gold.
Permanent jewelry is more than just an accessory; it's a statement of self-expression and commitment to your personal style. Whichever material you choose, your permanent piece will be a part of your unique journey, adding a touch of elegance and charm to your everyday life.
