Permanent Jewelry FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

PERMANENT JEWELRY FAQ

Everything you need to know about getting "Zapped" at Pretty Pickie—from materials and sizing to care and mobile parties.

✨ The Experience

What exactly is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is a custom-fitted chain that is painlessly fused into a continuous circle with no clasp. Our specialized micro-welding technique creates a secure, seamless connection that stays with you 24/7—perfect for showering, swimming, and daily life.

Does the welding process hurt?

Not at all! You can sit back and relax while we expertly bond your jewelry. You won't feel any heat or pain—just a quick, silent flash of light as the metal is fused. The process takes less than a second.

Can I remove it if I need to?

Yes! While it’s designed to be permanent, it isn't indestructible. If you need to remove it for a medical procedure (like an MRI) or an emergency, you can simply snip the chain at the pulse point with a pair of kitchen scissors. Pro Tip: Save your chain! We can re-weld it for you later for a small $15 fee.

💎 Materials & Quality

What metals do you offer?

🩹 Care & Warranty

What happens if my chain breaks?

While permanent jewelry is designed for daily wear, it is still fine jewelry. If your chain breaks at the weld point within 60 days, we will re-weld it for free. If the chain itself breaks or you lose it, we offer special "replacement" rates for our existing Sparkle Squad members.
