Permanent Bracelet
leeco...@my-dejanews.com
For those of you who may have followed a thread some time ago about Permanent
Bracelets [a thread I'm sorry I've only just picked up via DejaNews], and
live in the UK and are interested in such a bracelet/cuff, I would like to
recommend a guy to you called Jon who lives and works in Worcestershire.
Some months ago I posted a message concerning Permanent Bracelets/Cuffs and
Collars/Necklaces. I was looking for something that was made from a Steel
compound and that was most definitely permanent; not just semi-permanent.
I am pleased to say after just a short wait Jon was able to make me a cuff
which now sits on my right wrist and unless I get my hands on some serious
cutting equipment there is no way its coming off !
Its made from two pieces of stainless steel, that link together and have been
closed with small pins inserted into each hole that have been "glued" into
place.
If you're looking for such a bracelet/cuff then drop a line to Jon or visit
his website for more information on his other fetish creations. Send him my
regards !!

I dont remember there being any question about whether or not it could be
done, the question was whether or not it SHOULD be done. Please, anyone thats
considering doing this think VERY strongly about the saftey risks involved.

It doesn't seem to me like any more of a "safety risk" than wearing a
wedding band, assuming the bracelet is snugly-fitted.

A ring can come off, While the bracelet, by design, will NOT come off in an
emergency. If you have ever seen a finger that is swelled while the ring is
still on and have had to cut the ring off a very uncomfortable customer you
might have second thoughts about what you said. It isn't a pretty sight, all
purple and blue cutting off the circulation. And if it isn't cut off the
finger can be lost. Doctors don't like to do this work due to insurance and
fear of malpractice suits. If something happens to your wrist - sprain, break
or just bruise - and it starts to swell up you are going to be very sorry.
Same thing if something like a machine catches onto it. I would rather lose a
bracelet than my wrist and hand.
Hope you are getting the idea without me getting overly graphic.

Wedding bands are made to be taken off. Anything PERMANENTLY attached to
your body has the potential to cause serious injury. If caught in a piece
of machinery you have no clasp to break (usually the weak place in any
bracelet). You cant unclasp it in any short amount of time. Losing a hand or
arm is an easy thing to do in cases like this.
Also in case of injury and swelling, you may not be able to get the
bracelet cut off before loss of blood circulation causes you to loose your
hand.
You will place yourself in danger more often wearing permanint jewelry.
This may sound like BS but think about it for a minute. If you plan on being
around machinery where theres a risk, you take all of your jewelry off. Since
you cant take this off you either dont do the work (usually not an option) or
just go ahead and risk it.
I personally see to much potential for harm in having a piece of jewelry
permanantly attached to your body.

My first day as a mill hand, (circa 1962) the tour
boss told me to get rid
of my wedding band. When I quarled with that idea he
held out his left hand
sans ring finger. He was hardly the only man in the
mill minus that appendage.
So to say that a 'snugly-fitted' bracelet should be no
more of a safety risk
danger of killing yourself
playing russian roulette with a 45 than there is with
a 22. Small comfort, in
other words.

not very great. While you are right, there are some occupations that could
present problems, as do finger rings, but for the vast majority of people
there is no real problems. Now I should tell you that I am speaking from
experience, as I have worn a permanent bracelet for some time now and my
wife has worn hers for over 6 years and other for more than 10 years. These
bracelets are made of reused 14k gold that has been formed into a square
wire 1.5mm (or slightly less for a woman) and then shaped into a oval so
there is not nearly the gap to "catch" on. The bracelet was then butt
soldered and polished so the bracelet is whole. The jeweler how makes these
has been doing it for 14-15 years and has made well over 4 thousand
bracelets and no one has been injured yet!. I have talked to some wears who
have snagged them on something and bent it or broken the joint. When engaging
in activities that could be dangerous it is advisable to wear gloves or tape
the bracelet in a position where it matches the arms shape as a precaution.
Now on the other hand I have seen some bracelets, necklaces both solid and
chains with clasps designs that would easily be stronger than my bracelet.
My wife and I wear our "eternity" bracelets as a symbol of the permanence of
our marriage. As I go through the normal routine of the day I am often
reminded of it by its movement or the sound as it brushes against something.
Life is not safe, but one is much more likely to be killed enjoying a sport,
walking across the street, or driving, than in the manner that you describe.
I lot more people do silly things like driving or skiing "under the
influence" that are much, much more dangerous and do not have any long term
meaning.
I would like to hear from others as I am sure there are many others that
feel this way about "meaningful" permanent jewelry.
