Permanent Jewelry: Your Top Questions, Answered

Maybe you’ve seen it on your best friend’s wrist or while scrolling on social media and thought, Wait, does it hurt? Can I even travel with this? If you're curious about the welded, clasp-free chain that’s become a new favorite tradition, here are some frequently asked questions about permanent jewelry:

Does it hurt to get permanent jewelry?

Not at all! The welding process is quick, safe, and completely painless. There’s no heat on your skin — just a tiny spark that closes the link of your chain. At Brave Daughters, we make it fun, easy, and special. You’ll pick your chain, choose your charms, get sized perfectly, and zap — that’s it.

Can I take my permanent jewelry through airport security?

Absolutely. Permanent jewelry is TSA-friendly and totally travel-proof. You can fly, swim, shower, or sleep without removing it. Airport scanners detect metal density — and the thin, fine chains used for permanent jewelry don’t trigger alarms.

What if I need to remove it?

Life happens! If you ever need to remove your permanent jewelry (surgery, MRI, or just a style change), you can simply snip the jump ring with scissors, nail clippers, or wire cutters.

Keep the chain, and you can always bring it back to Brave Daughters to have it rewelded later.

Can kids or teens get permanent jewelry?

Yes — with a parent or guardian’s permission! We love seeing families come in for matching bracelets.

How do I clean my permanent jewelry?

Keep it simple — mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Gently scrub your chain and charms to remove lotion or oil buildup.

If your piece is 14K gold or gold-filled, it’s super low-maintenance and will keep its shine beautifully. Stainless steel options are even more resilient for daily wear.
