How Long Does Permanent Jewelry Last?

Durability Meets Design: Why Our Permanent Jewelry Goes the Distance

The durability of your permanent bracelet depends on several factors: 

•Fit: A snug (but not tight) fit reduces movement and risk of snags. We recommend a fit that allows just one finger underneath. This minimizes the movement of the chain, and reduces the risk of it getting caught on something. 

•Craftsmanship: Our stylists use industry-standard arc welders with argon shielding to create strong, barely visible, non-porous welds. 

•Care: While rare, accidents can happen. If your bracelet catches on something, it could break—but Payton Jewelry offers free re-welding or repair within 14 days of your appointment. 

What If You Need to Remove It? 

Despite the name, permanent jewelry can be removed easily if needed. Whether it’s for surgical procedures or medical imaging, sports requirements, or style-changes, you can remove permanent jewelry yourself. Simply use household scissors or nail clippers to carefully snip the welded jump ring. Save your chain—we can re-weld it for a small fee or even add a clasp to convert it into a traditional bracelet. 

Not Ready to Commit? Try Our Removable Options 

You can still join the fun without the permanence. At Payton Jewelry, we offer all the same beautiful styles with custom clasps so you can wear your jewelry on your own terms. You can get a bracelet or anklet custom fit and made with a clasp that matches your friend’s permanent one. We also offer other removable welded jewelry options: 

Custom-fitted rings sized to you and welded closed for a perfect fit are great for stacking! Hand chains that combine a custom ring and a custom bracelet with a custom length of chain between them. While the piece is securely welded, our hand chains are made with removable clasps for maximum versatility. Unlike ill-fitting standard hand chains, we size your permanent hand chain to fit your hand comfortably and beautifully.
