What Is Permanent Jewelry? Everything You Need to Know

Although it sounds oxymoronic, permanent jewelry has become a trend of sorts. On TikTok, you'll find videos of influencers getting forever bracelets. Unlike that diamond necklace that you only break out for special occasions, permanent jewelry (as its name implies) is an everyday thing. Fortunately, these accessories are versatile enough to wear with every outfit. So, if you're thinking about getting permanent jewelry, here's everything you need to know before you do.

What Is Permanent Jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is a piece of genderless jewelry that is welded together or linked right onto your body, with no clasp or tie for easy removal. You're meant to keep this item — usually a bracelet, anklet, or necklace — on 24/7 and never take it off. The jewelry isn't as permanent as, say, a tattoo, but you'll definitely need a pair of scissors or other tools if you change your mind and want it gone.

Who It's For

Permanent jewelry can be a sign of commitment. You might get matching forever bracelets with your BFF as a symbol of your friendship or with your significant other to express your love, similar to a promise ring or wedding band.
