Permanent Jewelry is a way to pay tribute to meaningful milestones in your life or the special bonds you share with loved ones. It's a beautiful, customized accessory you won't have to think about putting on every day- you'll always be accessorized! You can stack your pieces and even customize them with unique links & charms!
It's a bracelet, anklet or necklace that doesn't have a typical clasp. Instead, the ends are welded or "zapped" together with intention of not taking it off. A fun, easy & painless experience!
It takes about 10 minutes or so per piece: more time is needed when charms/ connectors are added
Step 1: Pick a chain- you may also choose connectors and/or charms.
Step 2: Your wrist, ankle or neck will be measured.
Step 3: The customized chain will be welded together.
It does not hurt, as permanent jewelry is not welded directly to your body. The metal chain is welded together using low level electrical current (the jewelry will not heat up & will not burn you).
Easily remove your chain by cutting the round welded jumpring with nail clippers or scissors. If you save your chain, we offer complimentary reattachment. *Please consider requesting a CLASP if you intend to remove your jewelry frequently (ie sports, MRI's, upcoming medical procedure, x-rays)
14K GOLD - heirloom metal, good for everyday wear, won’t tarnish, easiest to care for
14K GOLD-FILLED - 5% gold layer bonded over a brass base, won't tarnish, however, the gold will slowly wear away from excessive saltwater, chlorine, lotion, perfume & harsh chemicals, lasts much longer than "gold plated" or "gold vermeil"
STERLING SILVER - .925 will naturally tarnish from oxygen exposure, saltwater, chlorine, lotion, perfume & harsh chemicals, but tarnish easily washes off
ALL NICKEL FREE & HYPOALLERGENIC!
Always rinse your jewelry off with fresh water immediately after being in the pool or ocean. Avoid harsh chemicals when possible (lotions, perfumes, cleaning agents):
Links or chains that are made of thin dainty metal are not invincible!!!
14K Gold-Filled can last for about 2 years or so with everyday wear & tear, depending on the chain’s thickness and how well it's cared for. 14K Gold & Sterling Silver can last forever if cared for properly!
I ensure the integrity of my weld before your appointment is complete, however there is a 15-day warranty on jumpring welds (does not include broken chain).
Permanent does not mean invincible; this is fine jewelry and it can break. Links by Laura is not responsible for broken chains, lost jewelry, metal sensitivity or allergic reactions, tarnishing or stretching (my metals are NICKEL FREE).
