Curious about welded jewelry and its safety? We're here to address all your concerns about permanent jewelry, from skin sensitivities to long-term wear. Let's dive into what makes permanent jewelry a safe and beautiful option for expressing your unique style.
What Makes Permanent Jewelry Safe?
At Loveweld, safety isn't just a priority—it's our foundation. When customers ask "is permanent jewelry safe?" we can confidently say yes, especially when quality materials and professional application come together.
Permanent jewelry, specifically our permanent bracelets, anklets, and necklaces, involves a delicate welding process that creates a seamless connection between the ends of your chosen chain. The process itself takes mere seconds and is performed with precision by our trained specialists.
The Welding Process Explained
Our welding technique uses a small, controlled pulse of energy that's focused specifically on the joining points of your jewelry. This means:
-
No heat transfer to your skin—you'll feel nothing during the process
-
The weld only affects the tiny connection points, not the entire piece
-
The procedure is quick, precise, and non-invasive
The process is comparable to a tiny lightning bolt that flashes for just a split second, creating a secure bond without discomfort. Our specialists ensure proper positioning so the welding arc never comes into contact with your skin.
The Importance of 14K Gold for Skin Safety
Material choice is crucial when it comes to permanent jewelry safety, which is why we exclusively use 14K solid gold in our pieces. This isn't just a luxury choice—it's a safety decision.
Why We Choose 14K Gold
Our commitment to 14K gold stems from its exceptional properties:
-
Hypoallergenic nature: 14K gold is ideal for sensitive skin and rarely causes allergic reactions
-
Tarnish resistance: Unlike lower-quality metals, 14K gold maintains its luster and doesn't discolor your skin
-
Durability: The perfect balance of pure gold and alloy metals creates a strong, long-lasting piece
-
Skin-friendly: Gentle on skin for 24/7 wear, even during activities like showering or swimming
When founder Sarah Sides created Loveweld, she was committed to using only materials that could truly be worn forever. "When you wear Loveweld, you're wearing your memories," she says, and those memories deserve to be encased in materials that won't irritate your skin or break down over time.
Addressing Common Safety Concerns
Can I Remove Permanent Jewelry in an Emergency?
While our permanent jewelry is designed to stay with you through life's adventures, we understand that circumstances may require removal. Rest assured, permanent jewelry can be safely removed when necessary:
-
Medical procedures like MRIs or surgeries
-
Airport security concerns (though most customers pass through without issues)
-
Personal preference changes
Simple removal can be done with household scissors in an emergency. For a more elegant solution, visit any of our studio locations where we can professionally remove your piece with minimal impact to the chain, allowing for potential re-welding later.
Is Permanent Jewelry Safe for Daily Activities?
Our 14K gold pieces are designed for everyday life. They're safe for:
-
Showering and bathing
-
Swimming in pools, lakes, and oceans
-
Exercise and sports activities
-
Sleeping
The welded connection is actually stronger than traditional clasps, making our permanent jewelry less likely to catch or break during your daily activities.
Special Considerations
Permanent Jewelry for Children
We offer specialized permanent jewelry options for kids with appropriate sizing and designs. For children, we recommend:
-
Slightly looser fits to accommodate growth
-
Regular check-ins as your child grows
-
Professional removal if the piece becomes too snug
Pregnancy and Changing Body Sizes
For those experiencing body changes due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or other factors, we recommend:
-
Slightly roomier fits for areas that might experience swelling
-
Consideration of placement (ankles versus wrists)
-
A visit to our studio for adjustment if needed
