Three Things To Look Out For When Getting Welded!

Permanent jewelry is more than just a trend—it’s a timeless, effortless way to accessorize. The process offers a sleek, clasp-free way to wear bracelets, anklets, or necklaces, every day—without worrying about taking them on and off.

Unfortunately not all permanent jewelry experiences are created equally, and a poorly done weld can lead to breakage, irritation, or an overall bad experience. At Brave Daughters, we believe in quality craftsmanship and an experience that leaves you feeling confident in your forever piece. 

Whether you’re searching for the best permanent jewelry on the East Coast, looking for a unique experience within Boston or Providence, or simply curious about welded bracelets, there are a few things you should know before getting zapped.

Not all permanent jewelry is the same, and making sure your jewelry is secure, properly fitted, and high-quality will ensure it lasts. Here’s what to look for when choosing a permanent jewelry studio:

Choose the Right Material: Solid 14k Gold is Best

The metal you choose affects how well your permanent bracelet will last. Great options for welded jewelry are:

• 14k solid gold: Won’t tarnish, is hypoallergenic, and is safe for everyday wear.

• Stainless steel: A more affordable option and stronger than gold, stainless steel can also last over time.

• Gold-filled options, for these options the gold will wear over a long period of time to expose the base metal. If you want long-lasting permanent jewelry, invest in solid gold chains.

We offer 14k solid gold chains, as well as gold fill and stainless steel options.

Perfect Sizing = Comfort & Longevity

Your welded jewelry should fit just right—not too tight that it’s uncomfortable, but not too loose that it gets caught on things.

How to find the right fit:

• A permanent bracelet should rest gently on your wrist with slight movement.

• An anklet should have enough slack to move but not slip off easily.

• A necklace should sit at your desired length without pulling.

Pro Tip: If you’re getting permanent jewelry, make sure your jeweler takes time to ensure proper sizing before welding.

The Weld Must Be Completely Closed

The success of your welded bracelet, anklet, or necklace depends on the weld. If the link isn’t fully fused, it can weaken over time, causing your chain to break. A professional jeweler will use a high-quality micro-welder to seamlessly close the link, as well as ensuring after the zap that the jump ring is closed (a complete circle with no cracks/openings!) 

What to check:

• Look for a smooth, seamless weld with no gaps.

At Brave Daughters, our welders ensure a secure, long-lasting connection using welding techniques, so your permanent jewelry stays beautiful and durable.
