Getting permanent jewelry is a simple process and takes only a few minutes. The steps to getting permanent jewelry include choosing a chain, getting it sized to fit, connecting the chain, and then welding it closed. If you decide to read any further, you’ll learn more in detail about what the process looks like and what you should expect at your appointment.
Step 1: Choose Your Chain
The first step is choosing the style of chain you like. Chains have different thicknesses, colors, and materials such as gold-filled or sterling silver. This step usually takes the longest because of all the endless options, and you want to choose something that fits your style and feels comfortable to wear every day.
Step 2: Get Your Chain Measured to Fit
Once you finally decide what chain you want, you will get your measurement done which can be your wrist, ankle, or even necklace length. Most people prefer a length that is slightly loose enough for movement. Once you like the length of the chain, it’s ready to be cut.
Step 3: Connecting the Chain
Next, both ends of the chain are connected using a small jump ring. This jump ring is what allows the jewelry to be welded closed, without having to use a traditional clasp.
Step 4: Welding the Jewelry Closed
Before the welding begins, a small leather patch will usually be placed between your skin and the jewelry for protection. This brings us to the final step of welding the jump ring closed using a jewelry welder designed specifically for permanent jewelry. Don’t worry, this is very quick and painless! If you ever want the permanent jewelry removed, the jump ring can simply be clipped and reattached in the future.
To close it out, the process of getting permanent jewelry is very simple. From choosing your chain and getting it measured to connecting the ends and welding it closed, the entire appointment is usually quick and comfortable!
