Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Permanent Jewelry

​What is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is custom-fit jewelry that is welded closed instead of  being secured with a clasp. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and designed to be worn continuously.

Does permanent jewelry hurt? 
Not at all. The welding process is quick, safe, and painless. A small spark welds the chain closed while your skin is protected.

Is permanent jewelry safe?

Yes. Your skin is protected during the welding process, and the jewelry is safe for everyday wear.

Can my jewelry be removed?

Yes. If needed, your piece can be removed by cutting the small welded jump ring with scissors or jewelry cutters. It can often be re-welded later.

Can I wear my jewelry through airport security or medical procedures?

Fine metals do not typically trigger airport security. For medical procedures, policies may vary by medical provider but jewelry can easily be removed and re-welded later. 

Can permanent jewelry be worn in water?

Absolutely. You can shower, swim, and live your best life in your permanent jewelry. Gentle and mindful care will help extend its beauty. Check out our permanent jewelry care guide HERE.

Will my jewelry tarnish?​

Mixed Metals uses high-quality chains designed for durability and long-term wear. Proper care and lifestyle habits help preserve its shine and appearance.

What happens if my jewelry breaks?

If your chain breaks at the weld point, we typically offer a complimentary re-weld. If the chain is stretched or damaged, a replacement may be required.

​Can I add charms later?

Yes! Charms can be added to existing pieces to celebrate milestones or personalize your jewelry.​​​​
