How to Secure a Permanent Necklace
Securing Your Permanent Jewelry: A Step-by-Step Guide
Permanent jewelry is a beautiful and symbolic way to wear your jewelry without the need for clasps or daily removal. At Shield Maiden Jewelry, we offer two types of permanent jewelry: permanent locking rings and stainless steel hex locks with keys. This guide will walk you through how to properly put on a permanent locking ring and a permanent locking hex clasp so you can enjoy your jewelry securely and comfortably.
What is a Permanent Locking Ring?
A permanent locking ring is designed to be closed without the need for a traditional clasp. Instead, it uses a small ring that is permanently secured with pliers, ensuring a secure fit that stays in place.
How to Put On a Permanent Locking Ring
Follow these simple steps to safely and securely put on your permanent locking ring:
1. Prepare Your Materials
You will need:
- Your permanent locking ring necklace or bracelet
- A piece of thin string or thread
- A pair of pliers (preferably flat-nose or jewelry pliers)
2. Position the Necklace or Bracelet
- Drape the jewelry around the neck, wrist, or ankle, ensuring that the two open looped ends align properly.
- Make sure it sits comfortably and is not too tight.
3. Secure the Loops with String
- Take the thin string and thread it through both looped ends of the jewelry.
- Gently pull the string to bring the loops together.
- Lightly tie the string to hold the loops in place.
4. Insert and Close the Locking Ring
- Slide the permanent locking ring through both loops at the ends of the jewelry.
- Once in place, use pliers to gently press and close the ring securely.
- Ensure that the ring is fully closed so that it does not catch or come undone.
5. Remove the String
- Once the ring is securely closed, untie and remove the string.
- Your permanent locking ring is now in place and ready to be worn indefinitely!
What is a Permanent Locking Hex Clasp?
A permanent locking hex clasp features a secure stainless steel lock mechanism that is fastened with a small hex bolt. This type of clasp offers a sleek, modern look while ensuring long-lasting durability.
How to Put On a Permanent Locking Hex Clasp
Follow these steps carefully to put on a permanent locking hex clasp:
1. Unlock the Hex Clasp
- The clasp comes already locked, so the first step is to unlock it using the hex allen key.
- Be very careful not to lose the tiny black bolt, as once undone, it will come away from the stainless steel lock mechanism.
2. Prepare for Reassembly
- Place the bolt on the end of the hex key to get ready for reassembly.
3. Open the Necklace
- Once unlocked, pull the pins out of the lock to separate the necklace.
4. Position the Necklace
- Drape the necklace around the neck, ensuring it fits comfortably.
5. Reinsert the Pins
- Pop the pins back into each side of the hex lock and hold them in place.
6. Secure the Bolt
- Carefully take the hex key with the bolt on the end and press the bolt into the bolt hole.
- Screw it in tightly to secure the clasp.
Your permanent locking hex clasp is now securely in place and ready to be worn indefinitely!
Caring for Your Permanent Jewelry
- Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals or excessive pulling.
- Clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain its shine.
By following these steps, you can securely wear your Shield Maiden Jewelry permanent locking jewelry with confidence. Whether you're marking a special bond or simply embracing the timeless beauty of permanent jewelry, your new piece will remain a cherished symbol of strength and style.
