Permanent Jewellery Myths: 6 Things You Need to Know Before Getting Yours

Permanent jewellery has become one of the biggest jewellery trends but there's still a lot of misinformation around it.

Does it hurt? Can you swim with it? What if you need an MRI?

We're busting the biggest myths so you know exactly what to expect.

Myth #1: "Permanent jewellery hurts."

False.

The chain is never welded onto your skin. Only the ends of the chain are joined together while your skin is protected throughout the process.

The appointment takes just a few minutes and is completely pain-free.

Myth #2: "You can never take it off."

False.

If you ever need an MRI, surgery or another medical procedure, you can simply remove your jewellery by cutting the small connecting ring.

Want to wear it again? Bring it back to Mel Studio and we'll weld it back on for you.

Myth #3: "You can't shower or swim with permanent jewellery."

False.

Our permanent jewellery is made from stainless steel with an 18k gold finish, making it waterproof and perfect for everyday wear.

Showers, beach days, swimming pools and holidays—it's made for all of them.

Myth #4: "It will break if I work out."

False.

Whether you're doing Pilates, lifting weights, running or playing tennis, your jewellery is designed to move with you.

Like any piece of jewellery, avoid excessive pulling, but normal exercise won't damage it.

Myth #5: "It's not practical for festivals or travelling."

False.

Actually, it's one of the easiest pieces of jewellery to wear.

There's no clasp to accidentally open, nothing to lose and nothing to keep adjusting while you're dancing, travelling or exploring somewhere new.

Myth #6: "It's only available as a bracelet."

False. Not anymore.

At Mel Studio you can choose from permanent bracelets, anklets, belly chains, necklaces, hand chains, rings and even permanent ear stacks.
