what’s the permanent jewelry trend?
You’ve heard the phrase diamonds are forever, but what about gold and silver chains? In case you missed it, permanent jewelry has been trending across social media this summer with users showing off their newly acquired forever bling.
The concept is pretty self explanatory. A piece of chain welded onto your wrist, neck or ankle for a customized fit. Aside from the little perks of not losing your jewelry or avoiding anything snagging on the clasp, a permanent piece of jewelry immortalizes a moment, milestone or even relationship. Finally a more grown up version of the friendship bracelet!

What’s most fun though is customizing your piece and adding some charms or gems to finish your forever look. The process is quick, and painless, with the jeweler welding the two ends with a zap-zap for a seamless no-clasp finish and custom fit in less than 10 minutes.
The chains are made from solid gold or silver, so you don’t need to worry about them tarnishing in the long run. And if you ever change your mind? You can simply snip the small ring connecting the two ends of your permanent jewels with a pair of scissors to take it off, and can even get it re-zapped again too.
