Frequently Asked Questions
-
Permanent jewelry is a piece of jewelry that is custom-fitted and welded closed around your wrist, ankle, finger, neck, or other area, creating a seamless, clasp-free piece you can wear every day. At Lavender Links, we use quality gold-filled and sterling silver chains and make the experience personal, whether you're celebrating with a friend, partner, family member, or simply treating yourself.
-
First, you choose your favorite chain and we custom-fit it to you. Once you're happy with the fit, the ends of the chain are connected with a small jump ring and safely welded together using our permanent jewelry welder.
-
No! The welding process itself should not hurt. You'll see a tiny, quick flash when the chain is welded, but the weld happens at the jewelry connection, not against your skin. Lavender Links uses proper safety equipment and precautions throughout the process.
-
Yes! Permanent jewelry is designed to be worn during everyday activities, including showering, swimming, and washing your hands. However, regular exposure to chlorine, harsh chemicals, lotions, and other products can affect the appearance of your jewelry over time. Following proper aftercare will help keep your piece looking its best.
-
Permanent jewelry is designed for everyday wear, but it isn't truly indestructible. How long it lasts depends on the chain, metal, how you wear it, and everyday wear and tear. Gold-filled and sterling silver jewelry can last a long time with proper care. Your piece may eventually break if it gets caught or pulled, which is actually a safety feature, it can break away rather than causing an injury.
-
