If you’ve been curious about permanent jewelry, you’ve probably wondered: how long does it actually last?
The short answer — a long time. But the beauty of permanent jewelry is that it’s designed to be as lasting or as flexible as you need it to be. Let’s break it down.
💎 Made to Stay On
Permanent jewelry is custom-fitted and welded closed, so there’s no clasp to fuss with or worry about. Once it’s on, it’s meant to be worn continuously — through everyday life, travel, and all your favorite moments. With proper care, your chain can last for years.
🥇 Quality Makes All the Difference
At Bonded by Gigi inside The Market of Lake Geneva (830 W Main St), we use sterling silver and gold-filled chains — durable, high-quality metals that resist tarnish and maintain their shine. We offer styles from dainty and minimal to bold and statement-making, so there’s a perfect match for everyone.
🔗 Durable — But Not Indestructible
While permanent jewelry is made to last, it isn’t unbreakable. If your chain snags on something, it can break. That’s why we carefully custom-fit each piece to strike the perfect balance: just enough movement for comfort and natural swelling, but not so loose that it’s likely to catch.
All of our charms are connector charms, meaning they sit seamlessly between chain links instead of dangling. This makes them less likely to snag — and keeps your piece low-maintenance for daily wear.
If your chain ever does break or if you need to remove it temporarily, bring it back anytime for a free reweld. (We don’t replace lost chains, but we’re happy to reweld your original piece at no charge.)
💖 Built to Last, with Meaning Attached
Permanent jewelry isn’t just about how long it lasts — it’s about what it represents. Whether it’s a friendship bond, a milestone, or a personal reminder, it’s a small spark of meaning you carry every day.
At Bonded by Gigi, every weld marks a memory — one designed to shine through the seasons of your life.
