Permanent jewellery is fitted and welded on the wrist, ankle or neck using a safe micro-welding machine. Once the perfect fit is chosen, a small flash fuses the jump ring closed to create a seamless chain with no clasp. You can wear protective glasses or simply look away during the flash.

It’s simple to remove. Cut the chain at the welded ring with small scissors or wire cutters. Keep the chain safe, and we can re-weld it for you in clinic. There is no need to damage the rest of the jewellery.

Permanent jewellery can last months to years, depending on the chain material, your skin and hair products, and your lifestyle. Gold-filled and solid gold chains tend to last the longest. If it ever breaks or you need to remove it, it can be re-welded easily.

To keep your permanent jewellery looking its best:

• avoid direct contact with chemicals

• avoid heavy lotions, oils and perfumes on the chain

• wash regularly in the shower with fragrance-free soap

• rinse after swimming in the sea or pool

• rinse after exercise to remove sweat

Good care helps reduce dullness and keeps your chain bright for longer.

Yes. Permanent jewellery does not trigger airport scanners and you can walk through security normally. We have never experienced any issues at airports, and most bracelets are made from fine, low-metal chains.

Some hospitals may ask you to remove jewellery before an MRI or X-ray. If your doctor requests removal, just cut the chain at the weld point and we can re-weld it after your scan. If you are unsure, check with your medical team first.

No. The welding is done on the jump ring, not on your skin. You may see a small flash, but there is no heat on the skin and the process is quick and comfortable.

Permanent jewellery is secure, but it can come off if pulled hard, especially on fine chains. If this happens, keep the jewellery and we can repair and re-weld it for you.
