How many pieces of jewelry do you have right now?
If you’re like most people, you probably have a drawer full of jewelry—pieces you’ve collected over the years, with some you love and others that have lost their luster. According to Google, most people have about $3,000 worth of jewelry, but how much of it do you actually wear regularly?
I remember when my collection was full of fast-fashion pieces. In my early 20s, I would buy cheap jewelry that I thought looked great for a night out, but within a few wears, it would leave green or black marks on my skin, tarnish, or fall apart entirely. I’d spend $10 or $20 on something that looked good for one occasion but then fell flat after. A stone would go missing, or the piece would start looking cheap. I was always on the hunt for the next shiny thing, thinking I’d finally find something that felt like "me." But none of it ever lasted.
Then I decided to invest in my first set of solid gold earrings and a necklace from a local maker. That changed everything for me. I wore that set morning, noon, and night for years without a single issue. No tarnishing, no fading—just beautiful, timeless jewelry that felt like it became a part of me. It wasn’t just about how it looked, though. It elevated how I felt. Suddenly, my style felt refined, more intentional. And every time I wore it, I got so many more compliments. It became my signature look, and I realized that quality mattered more than having something new all the time.
As I transitioned into my career in the solar industry, my mindset toward sustainability also shifted. I started thinking about the impact of fast fashion—not just on my skin, but on the planet. There are enough clothes, shoes, and accessories on this planet to support generations to come, yet we continue to produce and consume more. Why? Because we’re all searching for something new, something that makes us feel special, even if it’s temporary.
That’s when I started focusing on buying fewer, but better items. The $50 shoes I used to buy lasted maybe a year. Now, I invest in higher-quality pieces that cost more upfront, but they’ve lasted me for years—and I still wear them. That’s what I’ve carried into my jewelry making: pieces that last, pieces that become part of your everyday life without needing to be replaced.
The Art of Permanent Jewelry
Permanent jewelry is a reflection of that mindset. It’s about investing in something that will stay with you through life’s adventures. Whether it’s a bracelet or a necklace, each piece is welded or securely fastened so that it stays with you—no taking it off at the end of the day. It becomes part of your story, just like that first set of solid gold jewelry did for me.
Here’s why permanent jewelry stands out:
Seamless Construction: No clasps or fastenings to deal with—each piece is welded for a seamless, flawless fit that moves with you. It’s jewelry that feels like a second skin.
Durable Materials: Whether you choose gold-filled, solid gold, or sterling silver, each material is selected for its strength and beauty. These are pieces that resist tarnishing, just like the first gold necklace I invested in, and they’re meant to last for years. Gold Filled lasts 3-5 years on average with Pink Pearl!
Why Permanent Jewelry is Perfect for Your Life
I’ve seen firsthand how permanent jewelry resonates with people. It’s not just about looking polished—it’s about feeling connected to something meaningful. Maybe it’s a bracelet shared between best friends or a necklace that marks a personal milestone. These aren’t just accessories; they’re reminders of the people, moments, and stories that matter most.
Permanent jewelry is perfect for:
Active Lifestyles: You don’t have to worry about taking it off before a workout or losing it while on the go. It’s designed to stay with you through everything.
Minimal Maintenance: The materials we use are resistant to tarnishing, so you don’t have to worry about constant upkeep. Your piece will stay beautiful with minimal effort.
Symbolism: Each piece carries meaning—whether it’s a reminder of your journey, a bond with someone special, or simply a reflection of your personal style. These pieces become a part of your daily life, just like my first gold necklace became a part of mine.
If you’re ready to move away from fast fashion, to embrace something that lasts, and to invest in a piece that becomes a part of your story, permanent jewelry is for you.
