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.

How does permanent jewelry work?

The process of getting a piece of permanent jewelry is surprisingly quick. “After you pick your chain and any charms, our expertly trained team of jewelers will measure the perfect fit and weld it to your wrist,” Vardi says. It’s that simple: Pick a piece, get it fitted, and weld. And considering that most chains used are quite small, the welding itself is the quickest part of the process. That said, especially since the piece does need to be fitted and adjusted by an expert, you will likely need to make an appointment ahead of time.

Types of permanent jewelry

• Bracelets are by far the most popular type of permanent jewelry. They typically feature a gold chain with or without additional charms.

• Anklet: Anklets are very similar to bracelets, though they usually need to be longer so will cost a bit more.

• Necklace: The same goes for necklaces, which you can also get as permanent jewelry.
