✈️ Can You Get Through TSA With Permanent Jewelry?

If you’re planning a trip and rocking a permanent bracelet, anklet, or necklace, you might be wondering:

“Is TSA going to make me cut this off?”

Short answer? Nope. You’re totally fine.
Long answer? Let’s walk through exactly what to expect at airport security—so you can travel stress-free and sparkle the whole way. ✨

💎 TSA Rules + Permanent Jewelry (The Truth)

Permanent jewelry is typically made from solid gold, gold-filled, or sterling silver chains—all of which are TSA-safe.

Here’s what matters:

• ✅ TSA does NOT require you to remove jewelry

• ✅ Permanent jewelry is treated the same as a regular bracelet or necklace

• ✅ It’s safe for metal detectors and body scanners

• ❌ It does not set off alarms on its own

In fact, TSA agents see permanent jewelry every single day.

🚨 Will Permanent Jewelry Set Off the Metal Detector?

Almost never.

Permanent jewelry chains are:

• Very lightweight

• Made with non-ferrous or low-density metals

• Far below the metal threshold TSA scanners detect

Unless you’re wearing something unusually thick or layered with heavy charms, you’ll walk right through—no problem.

🧳 What If I Get Pulled Aside for Extra Screening?

Totally normal—and still not an issue.

If TSA needs to do a secondary screening:

• You can simply tell them it’s permanent jewelry

• They will not ask you to remove it

• No cutting. No hassle. No drama.

Permanent jewelry is becoming incredibly common, especially with travelers who don’t want to fuss with clasps on the go.

🌍 Can I Travel Internationally With Permanent Jewelry?

Yes! Permanent jewelry is:

• ✈️ Airport-safe

• 🌎 International-travel safe

• 🧭 Cruise-safe

• 🏖️ Vacation-proof

Security standards abroad are similar, and permanent jewelry does not violate any customs or security rules.

🔧 What If I Need to Remove It?

While most people never need to, permanent jewelry can be removed if necessary:

• A jeweler can safely cut it

• It can usually be re-welded later

• (We do this all the time at Gem Lounge Jewelry!)

But for TSA alone? You won’t need to.
