Permanent Jewelry at Bohemi in Boulder
Clasp-Free, Worry-Free
Permanent jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a memory you wear every day. Whether it’s a solo statement or a shared symbol of connection, your Bohemi piece is welded with intention and made to last.
What Is Permanent Jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is a custom-fit, clasp-free piece—typically a bracelet, anklet, or necklace—that is micro-welded directly onto itself. The result is seamless, low-maintenance, and deeply meaningful.

- Celebrating connection (with yourself, a partner, friend, or family)

3. Welding the Jewelry

4. Final Check & Payment
Your jeweler ensures the weld is secure. Your deposit is applied, and the remaining balance is collected.
AFTER CARE TIPS
While it’s designed to stay with you, your jewelry deserves gentle care:
- Clean with mild soap and water. Pat dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid harsh cleaners or jewelry cloths not intended for delicate materials.
- Safe for showers and daily wear, but be mindful of snagging during intense activities.
- Use caution when swimming or hot tubbing, as chlorine will erode gold. Hot springs will tarnish jewelry, but the color will return as you wear the jewelry. It’s advisable to stay away from sulphuric hot springs.
- Sterling silver doesn't tarnish when worn, only when it sits in your jewelry box, another benefit of permanent jewelry.

Permanent Jewelry FAQs
Do you do special events?
Sure do! We can bring our permanent jewelry set up to birthday parties, holiday parties, bat mitzvahs, VIP shopping experiences, sororities, kid’s parties, grand openings, festivals, graduation parties, bridal showers, bridal party gifts, bachelorette parties and any other events you can think of in Boulder, Colorado as well as Denver, Aurora, Loveland, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and any surrounding areas on the front range of Colorado.
Does permanent jewelry hurt?
No, permanent jewelry does not hurt at all. We use a flameless arc welder. The machine creates a spark, only heating the tiny area where the tip touches the metal and only when ground is connected. The welder needs a complete circuit to work and your skin is a poor electrical conductor, so it can’t hurt you.
Is permanent jewelry really permanent?
Permanent jewelry isn’t a tattoo, so it’s not as forever as that, but we do guarantee the weld. If our work fails, we will fix it for free.
Your mileage will very depending on your lifestyle. We cannot guarantee the chain because jewelry is jewelry and we have no control over how it's cared for once it’s on. If the chain or a charm snags and breaks, we will always do our best to fix it, however some fixes may come with a charge. Chains should stay on with normal wear, but we are not responsible if it is broken or lost and you have to buy a new one.
What if I need to take off my permanent jewelry?
Removal is no problem! Shoot an email or call us to schedule a time to come by our Boulder, Colorado store and we can cut the weld of your permanent jewelry or you can take a pair of wire cutters or scissors and cut through the jump ring yourself. We offer free rewelding for our permanent jewelry customers, unless you are missing the chain.
Will the chains keep their color?
Chain color depends on your lifestyle as well as the metal. Hot springs, salt and highly chlorinated water can tarnish silver. You can always do your best with a polishing cloth, but sometimes the patina is part of the beauty - the way the chain changes over time gives it character! Solid 14k gold chains are more expensive because gold is the most durable and likely to hold its color for a lifetime, which makes it ideal for permanent jewelry. 14k gold fill is 14k that is pressure bonded over brass, eventually the 14k gold will start to wear, we can't say how long it will last as it depends entirely on the chain and how much wear it receives but we estimate anywhere from 1-3 years before the chain loses it's luster.
Do you weld anklets and necklaces?
We do offer anklets and necklaces, however these are much more likely to get snagged, stretch or break. For safety reasons we only offer certain chain styles as anklets and necklaces. Necklaces especially can be dangerous. Wear these items at your own risk, especially if you participate in the extreme sports that we Colorado folks love.
Can I get matching permanent jewelry with my friend/partner/family member/etc?
Absolutely! Just book the appropriate number of appointments online. For groups of 6 or larger, please call 720-636-2759 or email us at hello@bohemi.com and we are more than happy to help you with booking in our Boulder, Colorado jewelry store, or pop-ups in Denver, Loveland and surrounding areas.
Can I wear it through airport security?
Yes! TSA friendly!
Can I get more than one piece?
Absolutely! Stack bracelets or mix and match chain styles. We love a layered look.
What if it breaks?
- Our permanent jewelry "weld" is guaranteed; we will always reweld it for free if our weld breaks.
- Customer wear and tear, causing the chain to break, is not covered by our “weld” guarantee.
