Can Permanent Jewelry Be Removed? Here's The Truth

One of the most common questions about permanent jewelry is whether it can be removed. While the name might sound intimidating, permanent jewelry simply refers to a clasp-free welded chain, not something that locks you in forever. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes, It Can Be Removed
Permanent jewelry can absolutely be taken off if needed. The welded link can be carefully cut by a jeweler, allowing you to remove the piece safely. Most studios that offer permanent jewelry also provide rewelding services, so you can put the piece back on if you choose in the future.

Designed to Last, but Flexible
The word “permanent” refers to the seamless, clasp-free design, not permanence in the sense of no removal. The chain is made to withstand everyday life, showering, sleeping, exercising, but if life circumstances change, removal is simple and straightforward.

Why People Worry About Removal
Some clients hesitate because they fear damage or pain. Fortunately, removal is painless, quick, and doesn’t damage the chain when done by a professional. It’s also a much safer alternative to DIY attempts.

Tips if You Ever Want to Remove Your Permanent Jewelry

  • Always consult with your permanent jewelry artisan, and they will give you guidance on how to remove it safely at home

  • Avoid cutting it yourself without proper instructions to prevent accidental injury or chain damage

  • Consider rewelding if you plan to wear it again in the future

Permanent jewelry gives you the beauty and convenience of a seamless, everyday accessory while still offering flexibility. You can enjoy your welded chain without worry, knowing it can be removed or adjusted whenever you need.
