Permanent Bracelets represent a growing trend for people who want a piece of jewelry that stays on forever. They can easily last a lifetime. If you want a bracelet that never comes off, may represent a significant event or relationship, or just for fun, here’s a detailed look at the phenomenon and where to get permanent bracelets near you.
How Do Permanent Bracelets Work?
The bracelet is fused together by permanently bonding the ends, using a small welding device. This takes just a few minutes and is totally safe and painless. Heat is applied to a small area and only to the metal. You may see a few tiny flashes of light.
Optimally, this is done during an appointment with a jeweler (many jewelers will do this for individuals or groups of people). There is no clasp, so you cannot take the bracelet off once the welding is complete. We have two styles here at Jeweler's Touch. One style is a gold-filled chain with a welded jump ring to hold it together. The other style is solid Sterling Silver chain or solid 14K Yellow Gold chain. With this style we do not use a jump ring. Each chain is welded to itself to create an Endless Permanent Bracelet with no beginning and no end.
A bracelet with a jump ring, or a bracelet that is truly endless? At Jeweler's Touch the style choice is yours.
What Are Permanent Bracelets Used For?
At Jeweler’s Touch, we find that customers request permanent bracelets for many reasons. Some people pick them just for fun; others find deeper meaning in them. It’s common to see clients who want permanent couple bracelets to represent their relationship, partnership, or marriage. Permanent friendship bracelets are common as well. In either case, partners or friends may choose unique choices or select matching permanent bracelets, which our jewelers and gemologists can help with. (Not recommended for children 10 and under).
How Much Do Permanent Bracelets Cost?
The cost of a permanent bracelet can vary depending on the metal, design, and other factors. It's not much different than a similar bracelet with a clasp. At Jeweler's Touch, we can help you save with either a solid Sterling Silver chain or a gold-filled chain. Both start at only $5.00 an inch. The installation charge is $15. If you consider the average woman's wrist size is about 7 inches, a solid Sterling Silver or gold-filled bracelet can cost as little as $45 before tax! That's a nice deal for something that lasts forever. We also have solid 14k Gold chains that start at $26 an inch.
What If I Need to Take a Bracelet Off?
Wearers often express concern over what happens if the bracelet must be removed. This is unlikely to occur if, for example, you are traveling. You will not be asked to remove fine jewelry by the TSA, so there’s no concern over airport security. But you might have to remove it for an MRI or medical procedure; if so, you can use wire cutters or scissors to cut the bracelet off.
