Once Linked, your personalized permanent jewelry is here to stay, no upkeep required. Because it’s solid gold, there’s no layer of gold dip or coating to wash or wear off with time. This means your pieces will never tarnish + always shine. Getting Linked is even good for Mother Earth! Our Links aren’t disposable & will never end up in a landfill. 

LINK x LOU® permanent jewelry offerings include: Bracelets, anklets, necklaces of varying lengths, rings, & ear links.

WHAT IS PERMANENT JEWELRY?

Permanent jewelry is a type of jewelry that you can’t take on or off because it doesn’t have an end. Where there would otherwise be a manual closure, the piece is welded together to make it claspless jewelry. The intention of permanent jewelry is to be worn forever as an everyday piece of jewelry that lives on you as long as you’d like.

HOW IS PERMANENT JEWELRY APPLIED?

Acquiring permanent jewelry is a painless process. The type of welding it requires is safe & can be done comfortably within the home or a public place. Our trained Linkers (or permanent jewelry welders) provide customers with a protective layer to cover their skin & optional safety sunglasses for extra caution. Though you cannot feel the welding happen, you can hear it & see it with your own eyes!

Getting Linked is a simple, five-step process:

1. Select a Chain | All 14k solid gold options
2. Choose a charm | (A naked chain is is just fine, too)
3. Pick your placement | Bracelet, necklace, anklet, or ring
4. Custom-fit it | Perfect the fit with your trained Linker
5. Weld it on | You're officially linked!

HOW DO YOU TAKE OFF A PERMANENT BRACELET / NECKLACE / ANKLET?

To remove your permanent jewelry, we recommend using nail clippers, wire cutters, or strong scissors to break the weld. We encourage you to locate the jump ring where it was originally welded & clip it there, making the reattachment process simple if you decide you want to put it back on later. The small gold ring should break easily with a sharp tool. Don’t forget to keep your chain in a safe place!
