The Pain-Free Truth About Permanent Jewelry: What to Expect During Your Appointment

Permanent jewelry is having a major moment. This trendy and minimalist accessory is popping up on wrists, ankles, and necks everywhere. But with its rise in popularity comes a burning question for many: Does getting permanent jewelry hurt?

Myth-Busting: The “Zap” that Doesn’t Sting

Let’s clear the air right away: getting permanent jewelry should not hurt. The process involves using a specialized tool to create a tiny weld that secures the jewelry chain closed. While some brands might use terms like “zap” to describe this process, rest assured, there should be no pain involved.

What to Expect: A Quick and Painless Process

The actual welding process takes just a few seconds. Your permanent jewelry artist will position the chain on your desired location, ensuring a perfect fit, and then use the welding tool to create a small spark that fuses the ring that connects the chain together. Most people are surprised at how quick and easy it is!

Easing Your Nerves: Tips for a Stress-Free Experience

If you’re feeling nervous about the process, here are a few tips to help you relax:

  • Choose a reputable and qualified permanent jewelry artist: Make sure your jeweler is experienced and knowledgeable about permanent jewelry. They should be able to answer all your questions and put your mind at ease.
  • Take a deep breath: Before the welding process begins, take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves.
  • Look away: Your permanent jewelry artist should provide you with protective eyewear, or you can simply look away from the welding spark. Some people like to film the welding process with their cellphone, which is said to act to protect the eyes.
  • Focus on the excitement: Remember, you’re about to get a beautiful piece of jewelry that will delight your for years to come!

Aftercare: What to Expect

You can gently clean your permanent jewelry with a soft brush and a gentle body wash in the shower. For a deeper cleaning, you can use dish washing soap or a jewelry cleaner meant for permanent jewelry. Remember that silver can tarnish when exposed to certain chemicals or pH levels (on or near the body). Perfumes, lotions and sunscreen (among other things) can also affect the beauty and durability of your permanent jewelry, so use these items with care.
