If you already have a welded bracelet, anklet, necklace, or connector, use this page to learn how to clean your jewelry, prevent unnecessary wear, avoid snags, safely remove your piece if needed, and book a professional cleaning or re-weld appointment.
Daily Care for the Mile High Lifestyle
Permanent jewelry is made for everyday wear, but a little mindful maintenance helps keep it beautiful. Denver’s dry climate, active lifestyle, sunscreen, lotion, sweat, and outdoor activities can all create buildup on delicate chains over time.
-
Wash gently: clean your jewelry with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water.
-
Rinse after sweat: rinse after workouts, hikes, concerts, hot tubs, or pool days.
-
Dry carefully: pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth after showering or exercise.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals: limit exposure to chlorine, bleach, and strong cleaning products.
Metal Abrasion, Tarnish & Skin Discoloration
If you notice a dark residue on your skin near your jewelry, it may be caused by metal abrasion, product buildup, sweat, lotion, sunscreen, or natural skin chemistry. This can happen with delicate jewelry and does not always mean the jewelry is damaged.
Clean the jewelry gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh scrubbing, and toothpaste on delicate chains or gemstone connectors because they may dull the finish over time.
If the residue continues or the chain looks dull, visit Nina Wynn for a professional studio refresh.
Activity & Safety Precautions
Your permanent jewelry is welded closed, but the chain itself is still delicate fine jewelry. Treat it with care during high-impact activity, sports, heavy lifting, winter layering, and anything that could snag or pull the chain.
-
Gym and workouts: avoid tugging during weightlifting or high-impact training.
-
Outdoor activities: be mindful during climbing, hiking, and contact sports.
-
Winter clothing: take care with sweaters, coats, gloves, and loose threads.
-
Charms and connectors: avoid twisting or pulling decorative details.
Professional Cleaning, Re-Welds & Studio Refresh
To maintain sparkle and structural integrity, we recommend a professional studio refresh every 12–18 months or whenever your jewelry needs extra cleaning, inspection, re-welding, or restyling.
We can help with professional cleaning, re-weld support, charm additions, connector placement, and styling updates. If you want to evolve your jewelry stack, explore our permanent charms and connectors page for gemstone and symbolic details.

How to Remove Permanent Jewelry If Needed
Permanent jewelry can be removed if needed for a medical procedure, MRI, work requirement, sport, travel concern, or lifestyle change.
To remove it at home, carefully cut the small jump ring where the weld was made using sharp nail clippers or small jewelry cutters. Save your chain in a safe place so it can potentially be re-welded later.
If you prefer professional removal or want help re-welding your piece, visit our Denver studio. Permanent jewelry is generally TSA-friendly and usually does not need to be removed for airport travel.
Care Tips by Permanent Jewelry Type
Different permanent jewelry styles need slightly different care depending on where they sit on the body and how much movement they experience.
-
Permanent bracelets — be mindful during workouts, winter layers, and daily hand activity.
-
Permanent anklets — pay attention to shoes, socks, hiking, sandals, and ankle movement.
-
Permanent necklaces — keep clean from lotion, sunscreen, hair products, and neckline friction.
-
Permanent charms — avoid twisting or tugging gemstone connectors and symbolic details.
