Welded Bonds vs. Body Bling: The True Difference Between Permanent and Body Jewellery
Share
When it comes to adorning yourself, the options are endless. But there's a bit of confusion in the air about two types of jewellery that sound similar but are worlds apart: Permanent Jewellery and Body Jewellery.
So, what exactly sets them apart? Let your Yorkshire lass guide you through the key differences—it all comes down to placement and commitment!
What is Permanent Jewellery (The Welded Bonds Way)?
Permanent jewellery, as defined by Welded Bonds by Created By Lau, is a dainty, custom-fit chain that is seamlessly welded shut while worn on the wrist, ankle, or neck.
Intended Use: Designed to be worn continuously, 24/7, with no clasp and no fuss. It becomes a part of you!
Style & Material: We use high-quality, durable materials like solid gold and sterling silver. The style is high-end, effortless, and luxurious—it’s designed to be layered and lived in.
The Vibe: It holds immense sentimental value, signifying a commitment, a lasting bond, or a personal milestone. It’s an investment in lasting style.
What is Body Jewellery?
Body jewellery is the general term for accessories worn in a piercing (often called body modifications).
Intended Use: Designed for decorative purposes in specific, pierced areas of the body. It’s typically easily removed and changed by a professional or the wearer.
Placement & Material: This covers items like belly button rings, nose rings, cartilage earrings, and lip rings. Materials often include surgical steel, titanium, or acrylic.
The Vibe: It's often more about dramatic personal expression, specific placement, and temporary fashion trends.
The Key Difference: Commitment vs. Placement
The main difference is simple, darling:
| Feature | Welded Bonds (Permanent Jewellery) | Body Jewellery (Piercings) |
| Method | Chain is welded shut on the skin's surface. | Requires a piercing (a hole) in the skin. |
| Placement | Worn as traditional accessories (wrist, ankle, neck). | Worn inside a specific pierced body part (navel, nose, ear cartilage). |
| Function | Style Commitment & lasting, sentimental bond. | Decorative Statement & fashion versatility. |
So, while body jewellery is about where you put a ring, Welded Bonds is about securing a forever accessory that tells your unique story without a clasp getting in the way!
Whether you prefer the seamless commitment of permanent jewellery or the versatility of body jewellery, both add a sparkle—but only one will become your new favourite, effortless classic!
