Permanent jewelry has become a beautiful way to commemorate special moments, relationships, and milestones in our lives. At Loveweld, we believe that the pieces you choose to wear everyday should be as enduring as the memories they represent. Our 14k gold permanent jewelry is designed to be a lasting part of your personal style story—but like any treasured possession, it requires some care to maintain its beauty for years to come.
When you choose to wear a permanent welded piece, you're making a commitment to a clasp-free lifestyle that celebrates both simplicity and significance. Let's explore how to keep your Loveweld pieces looking as brilliant as the day they were welded.
The Beauty of 14k Gold Permanent Jewelry
Before diving into care tips, it's important to understand what makes your Loveweld piece special. Our permanent jewelry is crafted from 14k solid gold—a choice we made deliberately for several important reasons:
-
Hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for sensitive skin
-
Tarnish-resistant quality ensures lasting beauty
-
Durability that stands up to everyday wear
-
Luxurious feel and appearance that elevates any style
While 14k gold is remarkably resilient, proper care will ensure your permanent jewelry remains a stunning testament to your special moments for years to come.
Daily Care for Your Permanent Jewelry
Gentle Cleaning Routine
Your permanent jewelry encounters everything you do throughout your day—from hand soap to lotions to natural oils from your skin. To keep your pieces looking their best:
-
Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after exposure to products
-
For a deeper clean, use warm water with a drop of mild dish soap
-
Softly brush with a baby toothbrush if needed for detailed chains
-
Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean cloth
This simple routine, performed once every few weeks, will maintain the brilliant shine of your permanent bracelets and other welded pieces.
Product Awareness
While your 14k gold Loveweld jewelry is designed for everyday wear, certain products can dull its shine over time:
-
Apply lotions, perfumes, and sunscreens before putting on your jewelry
-
Remove residue promptly if products do come in contact with your pieces
-
Be mindful of household cleaners—wear gloves when cleaning with chemicals
Activity Considerations for Long-Term Care
Your permanent jewelry is designed to become part of your daily life, but certain activities may pose risks to even the most durable pieces:
Exercise and Physical Activities
During high-impact workouts or activities that may cause excessive pulling or snagging:
-
Consider wearing a sweatband over bracelets during intense workouts
-
Be mindful of activities that might cause chain stress or stretching
-
Take extra care with weight training to avoid direct pressure on chains
Swimming and Water Exposure
While your 14k gold Loveweld pieces are water-resistant, certain environments require attention:
-
Rinse with clean water after swimming in chlorinated pools
-
Do the same after ocean swimming to remove salt residue
-
Pat dry thoroughly after extended water exposure
Special Considerations for Different Permanent Pieces
Bracelet Care
Our permanent bracelets often encounter the most exposure to products and activities:
-
Be mindful when working at keyboards or desks where friction may occur
-
Consider the placement of your bracelet to minimize daily wear from surfaces
-
Clean more frequently as wrists tend to collect products and oils
Anklet Maintenance
Anklets face unique challenges from footwear and movement:
-
Be conscious of tight socks or boots that might cause excess pressure
-
Check the fit periodically as anklets can shift position
-
Clean thoroughly after beach days or outdoor activities
When to Visit Us for Maintenance
While permanent jewelry is designed to last, we recommend stopping by one of our studios annually for:
-
Professional cleaning that restores original luster
-
Chain inspection to ensure continued integrity
-
Fit adjustments if needed due to natural changes
This yearly check-in not only maintains your piece but gives us a chance to celebrate how your Loveweld jewelry has become part of your ongoing story.

Remember that your permanent jewelry is meant to journey through life with you. The subtle changes that may occur over years of wear tell the story of your experiences—each tiny mark representing moments lived fully.
At Loveweld, we believe that the beauty of permanent jewelry lies not just in its initial sparkle, but in how it becomes interwoven with your life's adventures. As our founder Sarah Sides says, "When you wear Loveweld, you're wearing your memories."
