What is Permanent Jewelry?

Permanent jewelry refers to pieces that are custom-fit and usually welded directly onto the wearer, creating a seamless, clasp-free accessory that you don't take off. Usually the purpose of permanent bracelets is to show commitment in a relationship pre-engagement or marriage, as a fun experience for couples.

The most popular form of permanent jewelry is the bracelet, often crafted from low cost materials like brass, silver and copper, with the higher end permanent jewelry (like our's) using only materials like gold, white gold, and diamonds. Unlike traditional bracelets, permanent bracelets are adjusted to fit the wearer perfectly, offering a unique and personal touch.

At Shiree Odiz in New York, our collection of gold and diamond bangle bracelets are custom-sized and permanently secured on your wrist, becoming a lasting symbol of style and connection.

As part of our mission to bring fine diamond jewelry to your every day, that will last a lifetime, the appeal of permanent bracelets is clear. But there are a few considerations to weigh up before choosing permanent over removable.

Pros and Cons of Permanent Jewelry

Pros
  • Timeless Style: Permanent bracelets are designed to be worn every day, providing a constant touch of elegance without the hassle of daily jewelry changes.

  • Custom Fit: These bracelets are tailored to your wrist, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

  • Symbolism: Many people choose permanent jewelry to symbolize special bonds, moments, or personal achievements.

  • Durability: Made from high-quality materials like 14k gold and diamonds, permanent bracelets are resistant to tarnishing and designed to last.

 

Cons
  • Permanence: The permanent nature means you can't easily remove the bracelet, which might be inconvenient for certain activities or medical procedures.

  • Cost: The custom fitting, welding process, and use of high-quality materials can make permanent jewelry more expensive than regular bracelets.

  • Removal: While they can be removed if necessary, it requires a visit to the jeweler or using tools like a metal cutter.

  • As permanent bracelets need to be fitted on site, the shopping experience can be less convenient and seamless compared to simply ordering online and receiving a package in the mail.
