Where can I take my permanent jewelry without having to take it off?

If you have recently gotten a permanent bracelet, anklet, necklace or other type of jewelry welded on, you might have some reconsidering thoughts on where you can wear the piece without having to remove it off so quickly. Luckily, permanent jewelry is made to last and worn for a long time.

Below, I have written a few examples of where you can wear your permanent jewelry to without having to remove it! 

Bath

Showers/Baths

Many tend to remove all of their accessories before enjoyed a nice, hot shower or bubbly bath due to oxidation, tarnishing or any other type of corrosion, but with your permanent jewelry piece, you don't have to worry. Most of permanent jewelry, especially gold filled or 14k solid gold is made to be safely taken into water of any temperature and can be washed with regular household soaps and shampoos without sustaining any damage.

Pools/Oceans

Pools:

Whether it's your backyard pool, a community pool, a waterpark, or any pools that use chlorine or other chemicals, your permanent jewelry piece will handle standard chemicals used to keep pools clean.

DO NOT USE:

Knife

Knives are great for cutting through vegetables, cheeses and meats, but they are not suitable to remove your bracelet/anklet. Do not use a knife to attempt to remove your permanent jewelry due to safety reasons. . 

blowtorch

Torch/Heat

Torches are great to make a delicious crème brûlée when handled with care and skill, however, do not attempt to apply a torch to melt a link on your permanent jewelry to remove it! Use something safe like clippers or scissors. 

permanent jewelry corrosive chemicals

Chemicals (Acid/Solvents)

Chemicals are something you shouldn't even consider when it comes to removing you permanent jewelry! Sure, they're great for cleaning tough stains, like grout between bathroom tiles, but chemicals will only tarnish and ruin your permanent jewelry and will not remove them! 

IN CONCLUSION:

It is best that you reconsider removing your permanent bracelet if you are not required to. If you are required to remove it for medical, professional or personal reasons, I recommend either getting in contact with your permanent jeweler and ask him about the easiest and quickest way to remove your permanent bracelet or anklet. Not all permanent jewelry is made from the same material or is the same in size/thickness, therefore by explaining what permanent piece you have on and the material that you have, he will direct you towards the best removal method at home or invite you for a free removal at the jeweler's office!
