Although it sounds oxymoronic, permanent jewelry has become a trend of sorts. Unlike that diamond necklace that you only break out for special occasions, permanent jewelry (as its name implies) is an everyday thing. Fortunately, these accessories are versatile enough to wear with every outfit. So, if you’re thinking about getting permanent jewelry, here’s everything you need to know before you do.

What Is Permanent Jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is a piece of genderless jewelry that is welded together or linked right onto your body, with no clasp or tie for easy removal. You’re meant to keep this item — usually a bracelet, anklet, or necklace — on 24/7 and never take it off. The jewelry isn’t as permanent as, say, a tattoo, but you’ll definitely need a pair of scissors or other tools if you change your mind and want it gone.

Who It’s For

Permanent jewelry can be a sign of commitment. You might get matching forever bracelets with your BFF as a symbol of your friendship or with your significant other to express your love, similar to a promise ring or wedding band.

Removal

Although permanent jewelry is meant to be worn forever, it can be removed — by cutting it off with sharp scissors.

In some cases, the metal can get stretched out, which may cause the chain to break before you’re ready to say goodbye. Some brands will offer to reattach or replace your permanent jewelry for a small fee, but if the piece cannot be salvaged, you’ll have to buy a new one.
