💛 What’s the Price for Permanent Jewelry? (A Real Guide for Real Wear)
Permanent jewelry has taken the world by sparkle — and it’s one of the most asked-about questions we hear at Gem Lounge Jewelry:
“How much does it cost?”
Whether you’re thinking about your first piece or planning a matching set with a partner or friend, this post breaks down pricing clearly so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises, just beautiful jewelry.
✨ What Is Permanent Jewelry?
Before we get into pricing, here’s a quick refresher:
Permanent jewelry refers to bracelets, anklets, or necklaces that are welded closed on your wrist, ankle, or neck, without a clasp. It’s meant to be on you all the time — showering, sleeping, traveling, living.
That freedom and seamless look are part of what makes it special.
💎 What Determines the Price?
Several factors influence the cost of permanent jewelry:
1. Metal Type
Metal is the biggest price driver:
-
14k gold-filled — beautiful and more affordable
-
Sterling silver — elegant and budget-conscious
Each metal has different costs based on material value and longevity. Note that precious metal pricing has seen a tremendous surge in the recent past, this has cost a significant increase in the cost of all metals we and other jewelers use in our designs.
2. Chain Style
Some chains are simple and delicate, others are bold or textured. More intricate links generally cost more because they take more material and machining to create.
3. Length + Fit
Prices also vary slightly with length, because more material increases cost. Personalized fittings ensure a perfect fit — and we always measure you in person to make sure your piece feels effortless and comfortable.
