PERMANENT JEWELLERY FAQ's
What is Bonded permanent jewellery?
Bonded is our range of permanent jewellery that celebrates special moments and connections in life. Permanent jewellery is a type of jewellery where a chain is uniquely tailored onto your body to create a seamless welded piece. Unlike traditional bracelets or necklaces, there is no clasp needed. However a clasp can be fitted if desired.
This type of jewellery is highly symbolic as a continuous chain with no beginning or end. It is becoming more popular as people use it to celebrate special relationships or commemorate important occasions.
Wear with confidence and enjoy the freedom of effortless accessorising.
Is permanent jewellery safe?
Yes absolutely. We use a high quality precision welding machine specifically developed for permanent jewellery. A welding spark with a very low electrical charge fuses a link onto the chain, around your body and not on your skin. There is a bright flash from the welding. We provide you with safety glasses to protect your eyes and a patch to protect your skin. We have over 20 years of experience in making jewellery and have completed professional ABT accredited courses where we have learned to weld safely.
We do advise that permanent jewellery is not suitable for individuals who wear pacemakers. Please consult with your healthcare provider before booking.
What if I want it to be removed?
We understand there will be occasions that your permanent jewellery will need to be removed. Simply contact us and we can remove it for you, and we can weld it back on at a later date. If you are wanting to remove it yourself, the welding site can be cut with a sharp pair of scissors snips. Alternatively we can add a clasp so you can wear it more easily.
If possible, please store any loose chain away from dust and light, in a small sealable plastic bag or box so as to prevent tarnishing.
Can I play sports with permanent jewellery?
Normally fine chains are used for welded jewellery which can still break or stretch like any chain when pulled. We would recommend having a clasp so your jewellery can be easily removed for sports.
You can wear it in the sea or swimming pool, although there is the possibility that silver will tarnish with the salt and chlorine in the water. We recommend rinsing it in water straight after. Any tarnishing can usually be removed with warm soapy water or an anti-tarnish polishing cloth. 9ct gold or higher would be a better option for frequent swimming.
Can I wear it through the airport?
Yes you can as precious metal chains are made from sterling silver and solid gold which are not magnetic so therefore do not set off the security alarms.
How durable is permanent jewellery?
Whilst the chains are welded to last a long time, and will be durable with proper care taken, they are not indestructible. We offer a 6 month warranty on the weld point itself for permanent jewellery that has been purchased with us. If the chain has broken due to a fault with the weld, we will not charge for rewelding the piece. However if the break is in the chain links, then there will be a small charge or replacement cost for the chain. The complimentary repair service is valid within 6 months of your purchase.
Please note we are not responsible for any lost pieces of jewellery
How do I keep my jewellery sparkling?
Sterling silver and other metals will naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, skin oils, and chemicals. To significantly minimise tarnishing, avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes, and other products, and keep the jewellery clean with mild detergent. We recommend our gentle foam cleanser and provide a polishing cloth.
Please refer to the cleaning instructions below for detailed care tips. For a professional refresh, we offer a cleaning and re-welding service. Simply contact us to arrange an appointment.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.
- A piece of clingfilm could be wrapped around your arm/leg to protect your skin from prolonged contact with the soap.
- Using a soft toothbrush, gently but thoroughly clean the blackened areas.
- If possible, allow the soapy water to remain on the blackened areas for approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Rinse the jewellery thoroughly with warm, clean water.
- Pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Once completely dry, polish the jewellery with the cloth provided to remove any remaining tarnish and restore the shine.
