Do It Yourself at Home

If you’re confident to remove permanent jewellery at home, it’s certainly possible.  But just remember, if you’re not completely comfortable with any of these steps, or if you worry about damaging your jewellery, don’t hesitate to call in the pros!

What You’ll Need:

• Jewellery Wire Cutters
• Safety Glasses
• A Soft Cloth
• A Helping Hand:

How to Do It Safely:

First of all, find a clean, well-lit area where you can work without any distractions. Then lay down your soft cloth for a protective layer against your hand or foot for a protective surface.

Next, you’ll want to put on your safety gear. Grab those safety glasses to protect your peepers. It’s unlikely, but we would hate for a link or piece of metal to fly off and hurt you!

Now, you’ll need to look closely at your permanent jewellery and find the spot where it has been soldered or connected. You’re looking for that little link or clasp that needs a gentle snip.

Then, take your wire cutters and carefully position them around the link you want to cut. Apply gentle pressure and make that snip!

A Word of Caution

While the DIY route can be fun and empowering, it’s super important to recognise your limits. If you’re feeling unsure, anxious, or if your jewellery has intricate designs that you don’t want to damage, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. We’d hate for you to accidentally damage your precious piece of jewellery, or yourself. Plus, if you’re hoping to have your permanent jewellery rewelded at some point in the future, it’s important to remove it properly so it can be reused.
