Summary

Permanent jewelry is custom-fit jewelry that is connected around your wrist, ankle, finger, or neck without a traditional clasp. The ends of the chain are joined together, creating a continuous piece designed to be worn until you decide to remove it.

At Hopman Jewelers, you can stop in for permanent jewelry on your own, come with your daughter, mom, sister, or best friend, or make it an occasion with one of our permanent jewelry parties.

Our parties are designed for groups of up to six guests and include two hours of fun, light snacks and drinks, a sterling silver permanent bracelet valued up to $50 for each guest, and a complimentary gift for each person. Guests may also upgrade to a premium chain and receive a $50 credit toward their selection.

What Is Permanent Jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is jewelry that is custom fitted and connected without using a traditional clasp.

Instead of fastening your bracelet every morning and removing it every night, the chain forms one continuous loop. This makes permanent jewelry easy to wear and gives it special meaning for many people.

The word "permanent" can sound a little intimidating, but permanent jewelry does not have to stay on forever. It can be removed if necessary.

Permanent jewelry is popular for everyday wear, but what really makes it special is the meaning people attach to it. A bracelet can commemorate a friendship, a mother-daughter bond, a birthday, an anniversary, a bridal celebration, or simply a moment you want to remember.

And sometimes you don't need an occasion at all. Choosing something beautiful for yourself is reason enough.

How Is Permanent Jewelry Put On?

The process is surprisingly quick.

First, you choose your chain. We offer different styles and options, including sterling silver, gold-plated, and gold chains.

Next, we measure the chain to create a comfortable, customized fit.

Once you are happy with the fit, the ends of the chain are connected using specialized permanent jewelry equipment. The process joins the chain itself; it does not involve welding anything to your skin.

Once your piece is connected, you're ready to enjoy it!

Does Permanent Jewelry Have a Clasp?

Typically, no. That is one of the biggest differences between permanent jewelry and a traditional bracelet or necklace.

Because there is no clasp, you don't have to worry about fastening it each day. Your jewelry simply stays with you.

This also gives permanent jewelry its delicate, seamless appearance.

If you eventually need or want to remove your permanent jewelry, the chain can be cut. Depending on the condition and style of the chain, ask us about your options if you would like to wear it again later.

What Types of Permanent Jewelry Can You Choose?

Bracelets may be the most popular choice, but they aren't your only option.

At Hopman Jewelers, permanent jewelry can include:

• Bracelets
• Anklets
• Rings
• Necklaces

You can also personalize your piece by selecting different chain styles or adding a charm.

That means two people can come in together to celebrate the same occasion without having to choose identical jewelry. Each person can select something that fits her individual style.

Who Is Permanent Jewelry For?

Almost anyone who wants an easy-to-wear piece of jewelry or a fun way to mark a special connection can enjoy permanent jewelry.

We especially love it for:

• Mothers and daughters
• Best friends
• Sisters
• Birthdays
• Bridal showers
• Girls' nights out
• Anniversaries
• Milestone celebrations
• Friendship gifts
• Just-because outings

A mother and daughter might choose coordinating bracelets. Best friends might select the same chain but personalize their pieces with different charms. A bridal party can choose pieces that remind everyone of the celebration long after the wedding.

Permanent jewelry can also be something you do entirely for yourself.

There is no rule that says meaningful jewelry has to be a gift from someone else.

How Does a Permanent Jewelry Party Work?

If one permanent bracelet is fun, getting linked with your favorite people makes the experience even more memorable.

Hopman Jewelers offers two-hour permanent jewelry parties for groups of up to six guests in our Downtown Elkhart jewelry store.

Your group can relax, visit, enjoy light snacks and drinks, browse the available chains and charms, and have each person's permanent jewelry custom fitted.

We take care of the details so your group can enjoy the experience together.
