Welded Wonders and Seamless Style

Did you ever put on a piece of jewelry and then have trouble getting it off? Well, you certainly would with what is trending in popularity - permanent jewelry. As you may guess, there is no clasp for permanent jewelry. Instead, the jewelry is welded together for a continuous loop that stays until it is cut off. These pieces may appeal for the minimalist look and convenience. 

Not as permanent, but a similar idea is the iconic Cartier Love Bracelet. Aldo Cipullo created this bracelet with screwdriver marks following a romantic breakup. It symbolized love and commitment and it required a special screwdriver to secure it. Nowadays, luckily, it isn't as permanent but the story and meaning behind it symbolizes eternal love.
