For the longest time, I had heard about permanent jewellery and wanted to get a permanent bracelet. The concept of not taking it off and on with an uncooperative clasp sounded great to me. The permanent part is a bit misleading. Permanent means that instead of having a clasp that you can remove and wear the jewellery at any time, you have the bracelet chain welded together, without a clasp. You are wearing the piece until you are tired of it and need to an expert to remove the welding, and in turn, the bracelet. I was at Polo Park Shopping Centre and saw Glam Bar Bazaar. It had permanent bracelets. I walked into the store to check them out. My original thought was to get a silver bracelet with an evil eye charm. I had a nice woman helping me out. She pointed out two evil eye charms that I frankly did not like. Instead, I got a purple gemstone, which was my original plan until my evil eye bracelet broke a few months ago. Originally, she asked if it was my birthstone. I just wanted a purple one and not a ruby one, which is my actual birthstone. The larger gemstones had gold around them. I'm a silver person, so my silver chain needed a purple gemstone with silver around it. I got a smaller one, but it works nicely with the silver bracelet that I got. This woman was great putting everything together. She measured the bracelet chain around my wrist. The bracelet should be too loose around your wrist. She said that it stretches in a couple of days. Interesting. She added my purple gemstone charm to the bracelet. She has a welding machine that does a quick peep to weld the chain. You don't feel a thing. She has steady hands and a lot of skill. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I like my new permanent bracelet. The purple charm is nice with the silver chain. It's subtle and lightweight. It's dainty and pretty. I like it. When I walked out of the store, four people entered it. I guess I'm a magnet for sales... haha! This store also has some cute sneaker keychains, earrings, and more. It's on the first floor of the mall, across from SoftMoc. I had a great experience. I'd return for more permanent jewellery needs. (250) read more
