What is Permanent Jewellery?
Jewellery made to stay with you
Permanent jewellery is a chain that is individually fitted to you and welded closed, creating a seamless piece with no clasp.
Choose your chain, add a charm if you wish, and I’ll create your piece right here at the Oh Nora studio in Leighton Buzzard.
The result is a delicate, seamless chain designed to become part of your everyday jewellery collection.
Choose from bracelets, anklets and necklaces, with a selection of chains and charms available to make your piece personal to you.

Is permanent jewellery really permanent?
The term “permanent” refers to the fact that your jewellery is welded closed rather than secured with a clasp. It isn’t intended to mean that the chain can never come off.
Your piece can be removed by carefully cutting the chain if needed, and if your jewellery breaks or needs adjusting, please keep the chain and get in touch about a re-weld or refit.
Looking after your jewellery
Your permanent jewellery is designed to be worn as part of everyday life.
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep your jewellery clean and gently polished.
- Avoid exposing delicate chains to unnecessary chemicals.
- Take care when applying perfumes, lotions and beauty products.
- Check your chain occasionally for signs of wear.
- If your chain breaks, keep the piece and contact Oh Nora before throwing anything away.
You’ll also receive Oh Nora aftercare guidance with your appointment.
Planning something for a group?
Permanent jewellery is a beautiful way to bring people together and create a lasting reminder of a special occasion.
Group bookings available at the studio in Leighton Buzzard or I can bring the Oh Nora experience to your event, with guests choosing their own chains and charms and having their pieces fitted and welded on the day.
Please get in touch for more information.
FAQs
Can I shower and swim with my permanent jewellery?
Yes. Permanent jewellery is designed to be worn as part of everyday life, although caring for your jewellery and choosing the right metal for your lifestyle will help keep it looking its best.
Can I have a permanent bracelet if I already wear other jewellery?
Absolutely. Permanent jewellery looks beautiful worn on its own or layered with your existing bracelets, watches and necklaces.
What happens if my chain breaks?
Keep the chain! Depending on the condition and where it has broken, it may be possible to re-weld or refit your piece.
Can I remove my Permanent Jewellery?
Yes. You can come see me and I can remove it for you or carefully cut at the welded point. We recommend keeping the chain if you’d like it re-welded later.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. Permanent jewellery is particularly lovely as an experience shared with friends, partners and family.
For larger groups, weddings and events, please get in touch to discuss a bespoke booking.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Studio appointments are available by appointment only.
You can view current availability and book through the Oh Nora online booking page.
