Match Your Vibe: A Guide To Different Types Of Permanent Jewelry

Permanent jewelry is part of an ancient tradition. It began as far back as the Egyptians, where something like an anklet was worn to show off status. It has since evolved in style, durability, and elegance. Forever Golden offers various styles, everything from a custom permanent jewelry anklet to a welded bracelet, necklaces, and even rings. 

You can combine these pieces with other kinds of accessories to make a statement that expresses your personal style.

What Makes Jewelry “Permanent”?

Unlike most jewelry that hooks or unhooks with a clasp, permanent jewelry is designed to stay on for everyday wear. It’s placed around your wrist, ankle, or neck, and then the links are painlessly soldered together with a special tool.

Such jewelry, like a permanent bracelet or necklaces in gold, rose gold, or silver, is convenient but is usually applied for self-expression or sentimental purposes, such as a special bond with a loved one.

Types of Permanent Jewelry

Permanent jewelry comes in many forms. It’s available in quality gold and silver, in designs of varying chain sizes and styles, and meant to be lived in. Here’s what you can choose from.

Chain Bracelets

Something like a gold-filled chain bracelet is perpetually elegant and goes with everything. Permanent bracelets also come in silver if that’s more your style. These delicate chains are fitted to your wrist to be comfortable and then painlessly attached.

Necklaces

A permanent necklace is fitted to be the perfect length, making it easy to wear every day and for every occasion. Some people like to layer multiple necklaces for a dramatic effect.

Anklets

Anklets are an easy choice in permanent jewellery. They’re meaningful, understated, and great if you have more of a boho vibe.

Rings

Permanent rings are custom-fitted, beautifully crafted in gold or silver. They look fabulous when stacked on your finger.

Personalized Permanent Jewelry

From the metals to the chain style, custom permanent jewelry can be personalized to make it unique to you. You can even add charms for an even more personal touch.

How to Match Jewelry With Your Vibe

Ask yourself a few questions:

• What’s your lifestyle? Laid-back or more upscale?
• In clothes or furnishings, do you lean towards understated or bold?
• Do you opt for a more colorful palette or modern neutral colors?
• Are you a “less is more” or “never too much” type?
• Is there a symbol or charm (like a star or special initial) that speaks to you?

These will help you narrow your choices to create a jewelry look that beautifully expresses your personality (and your mood).

Selecting Permanent Jewelry Charms

Building the perfect charm to enhance your permanent jewelry has a few ingredients.

Consider the Meaning

Permanent jewelry is often applied as a remembrance of a special event, like at an engagement party, or a reminder of a personal goal. Are there particular symbols that reflect your individuality, like a star or a feather?

Think About Placement

How visible will the charm be? Out for everyone to see, or positioned inward on the chain, where (mostly) you will see it?

Material and Durability

What is permanent jewelry made of? Forever Golden uses high-quality materials for their jewelry and charms. 

• Gold represents success, power, strength, and self-worth. 
• Silver is feminine, intuitive, purity, inner wisdom, clarity, and adaptability.

Size and Proportion

Do you want something bolder or something like more delicate chains? 

Style and Trends

Charms are deeply personal, but certain styles may appeal more than others. Because it’s permanent, consider a charm that will retain its meaning throughout everyday wear.

Functionality and Comfort

Choose a charm that will be comfortable and won’t interfere with daily activities. At Forever Golden, we ensure a perfect fit.

Consider the Occasion

Permanent jewelry typically represents a special occasion, milestone, or goal. Which charm from our collection best represents that? You might choose one along with your best friends or a loved one.

Benefits of Permanent Jewelry

It’s beautiful, meaningful, easy to wear, and won’t get lost. It’s the perfect addition to your look, and one less thing to worry about!

Durability

Made from quality materials, permanent bracelets, anklets, and the like are accessories designed to be lived in. 

Low Maintenance

How do you clean a sterling silver chain? Like gold, it’s very low maintenance. Wipe it down occasionally with a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Dry it completely to avoid tarnish. If it’s been in chlorine or saltwater, just rinse and dry.

Sentimental Value

A big part of the appeal of permanent jewelry is how it represents a special occasion, milestone, or memory. It forever reminds you of something special.

Effortless Style

In timeless 14K gold or sterling silver, permanent jewelry gives you easy style you don’t have to think about. Without a traditional clasp, it elevates your look with no fuss.

How to Match Jewelry With Your Style

• In your everyday life, do you lean more to the sophisticated, bohemian, or down-to-earth style?
• Do you prefer warm tones (gold) or cool (silver)?
• Do you wear bold patterns and colors (balance with simpler jewelry) or more basic (take a chance on layered jewelry)?
  

Care Tips for Permanent Jewelry

Permanent jewelry has a timeless beauty that's meant to be lived in. Forever Golden uses durable, quality 14K gold and sterling silver; caring for it is simple. 

• After the pool or the ocean, give it a quick rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Every few weeks, use a mix of warm water and mild detergent to clean off the body oils, dirt, and lotions from the metals. Rinse and dry.
• With rings or bracelets, wear gloves when cleaning or gardening.
• If it breaks or needs to be removed for some reason, permanent jewelry can be reattached by a jeweler at the jump ring.
