💎 How to Care for Your Permanent & Delicate Jewelry

Just because it’s permanent doesn’t mean it’s maintenance-free!

Whether you’ve recently gotten your first welded bracelet or you love layering dainty pieces daily, taking care of your jewelry helps it stay beautiful, shiny, and comfortable for the long run. Here's a quick guide with simple tips to keep your permanent and delicate jewelry looking its best.

1. Gentle Cleansing Goes a Long Way Even though your piece is on 24/7, it still deserves a little TLC. Use a mild soap and warm water to gently clean the chain with your fingertips or a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and pat dry with a soft cloth. This helps remove lotion, oils, sweat, and daily buildup.

2. Be Mindful of Lotions & Sprays Products like perfume, sunscreen, and lotion can dull the shine over time — especially on gold-filled or sterling silver pieces. Try to apply them first, let them absorb, and then put on your jewelry (for non-permanent items). For permanent chains, just wipe gently if anything gets on them.

3. Watch Out for Leggings & Anklets If you’re rocking a permanent anklet (or even just a dainty chain), keep an eye on tight leggings, socks, or boots. These can catch on the chain and pull it — especially when putting them on or taking them off. To protect your anklet, roll leggings up gently instead of pulling them straight down, and avoid fabrics that might snag the chain.

4. Skin Chemistry Plays a Role Every person’s skin is a little different — pH levels, sweat, and even medications can affect how your jewelry wears. Some people may notice tarnishing faster than others. If that happens, don’t worry — it’s totally normal. Give it a gentle clean, and if needed, reach out for a quick refresh or polish.

5. Need to Remove It? You Still Can

While permanent jewelry is meant to be, well, permanent, life happens. If you ever need to remove it for a medical procedure or personal reason, you can simply cut the jump ring (the tiny ring connecting the chain). And the good news? We can always re-weld it for you later!

Final Thoughts ✨Permanent jewelry is meant to be low-maintenance and meaningful — a daily reminder of love, connection, or simply your personal style. A little care helps keep it sparkling like the day you got it.
