Welded for Life: Your Guide to Caring for Permanent Jewellery

You chose a Welded Bond because you wanted a piece that was effortless, stylish, and permanent—no clasp, no fuss, just forever vibes! Your beautiful, dainty chain is designed to be worn 24/7, making it an investment in everyday style.

As a Yorkshire lass who creates these seamless bonds, I want to ensure your piece stays shiny and strong for years to come. Since you can't exactly take it off before a swim, here is the official guide to caring for your Welded Bond while living your best life:

1. Daily Wear: The Mindful Life

Unlike traditional jewellery, we know your bond is with you through everything! The secret is mindful rinsing after exposure to corrosive elements.

• Rinse After: Always rinse your chain thoroughly with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated pools or the sea, and after any high-intensity exercise where sweat buildup is heavy.

• Avoid Direct Contact: While wearing your jewellery, avoid direct contact with harsh household cleaning products (like bleach) and abrasive body scrubs. Applying perfume or lotion is fine—just let it absorb fully before the area comes into contact with the chain.

2. Cleaning: The Quick Scrub Technique

Cleaning your Welded Bond is simple because you clean it right where it is!

• The Best Method: Regularly clean your permanent jewellery (about once a week is perfect) using a soft, clean toothbrush and a small amount of mild dish soap or gentle hand soap.

• How To: Gently scrub the chain while it's still on your wrist, rinse thoroughly under running water, and pat it dry with a soft cloth. This removes buildup and keeps that gorgeous shine.

3. Longevity Check: Chain Inspection

Your chain is strong, but a quick visual check keeps it that way!

• Feel for Smoothness: Occasionally run your fingers along the chain to feel for any rough spots or snagging. If you notice a change in the texture of the metal, it’s worth a quick check-in.

• Welded Point: Give a quick look to the welded jump ring every few months just to ensure the seal is still seamless and strong.

4. Emergency & Re-Welding

Because your jewellery has no clasp, "emergencies" are rare, but they do happen.

• Accidental Snags: If the chain ever breaks due to an extreme snag, do not attempt to fix it yourself. Save the chain carefully and contact me immediately!

• Necessary Removal: If you need to remove the chain for reasons like an MRI or surgery, cut the jump ring (the small link where the weld is) with sharp scissors and save the chain. We can happily re-weld it for a small fee when you’re ready!

Your Welded Bond is a piece of art that represents a commitment. By dedicating just a moment each week to its care, you ensure that your dainty, stylish, permanent symbol stays bright and beautiful for all the years to come!
