    作为独特话题的开端,我想分享我个人与永久珠宝的旅程,特别是由不锈钢或钛制成的项圈、手镯和脚镯。我所说的并非那些常焊接在手腕或脚踝上的精致链条,而是那些只能用重型工具才能取下——如果还能取下的话——的大胆、沉重的珠宝。我与这些装饰品的旅程充满了探索、承诺,有时还有焦虑,因为我从可拆卸的珠宝转向了真正永久的作品,这些作品定义了我今天的风格。
    我开始寻找男性化的珠宝——一些大胆的,不符合主流的精致选项。我不想要任何让我被贴上BDSM场景标签的东西,但我发现自己陷入了针对那个社区的选择中。就在那时,我转向了一个老朋友,Pat Pruitt,他是一位专门研究不锈钢的珠宝商。他曾用钢筋制作了一个脚镯,每个链环都焊接封闭,我请他为我做一个。他制作的链条长10英寸,大约10毫米厚,带有一种带有真正工业感的粗糙表面。起初,我让他加上一个卡宾扣钩,这样它就不是永久性的,但我知道 deep down(内心深处)我追求的是永久性。
    在Pat的作品之前,我戴过伞绳或麻质脚镯——没有什么引人注目的。当我收到Pat定制的脚镯时,我喜欢它的外观,但很快就意识到扣钩不可靠。我睡觉时差点弄丢了这个脚镯。那时我开始考虑将其永久化。经过一番思考,我让Pat将其焊接封闭。现在已经过去七年多了,我仍然在我左脚踝上戴着那个焊接的钢筋链条。
    然而,佩戴永久珠宝并非没有挑战。滑雪靴成了一个问题,因为紧身的靴子与脚镯搭配时会造成不适。尽管如此,我还是找到了让它发挥作用的方法,并且我对永久性的想法感到满意。我最终在我的右脚踝上增加了一个来自Eternity Collars的椭圆形脚镯。它有一个螺丝扣,但感觉太小太精致。我最终用Pat定制的更适合我的作品替换了它,我与永久珠宝的旅程加深了。
    随着时间的推移,我发现自己想要更多。我开始寻找更多的永久脚镯和手镯,但那些大批量生产的商品不符合我的审美——那些我遇到的精致链条也不行。经过更多的搜索,我找到了一个能按照我的确切尺寸制作硬化钛脚镯的中国制造商。这些作品与我以前穿过的任何东西都不同——坚固、不可拆卸、大胆。它们配有锁定机制,一旦扣上,脚镯就无法在不破坏它的情况下取下。穿着无法取下的东西,穿着将成为我永远的一部分,这个想法既令人兴奋又令人紧张。
    从可拆卸珠宝到较弱的永久脚镯,再到现在更大胆的作品,这是我旅程的一个决定性部分。我戴着两个永久钛脚镯和一只左手的永久手镯。我目前正在等待我的右手手镯的到来,一旦它被锁上,我的收藏将最终完成。
    尽管如此,戴着永久珠宝在公共场合以及朋友和家人面前带来了一种独特的挑战。有一种不可否认的焦虑感——一种我称之为“社会死亡”的感觉——来自于意识到这些珠宝无法取下,而且每个人都知道这一点。这种永久性让你脱颖而出,对于一个男性来说,这可能带有特定的污名。男性佩戴大胆的珠宝仍然受到社会评判,我经常担心人们如何看待我。当你的脚镯和手镯锁在你的身体上,永远无法取下时,其他人很难理解真正的永久性意味着什么。这可能会造成一种心理上的斗争,我不得不通过接受自己并意识到我的装饰品反映了我个人的旅程和力量来克服它。
    在这个过程中,我有幸得到了淘宝上钛hibiscus永久手镯穿刺店主的全力支持。他们的工艺和指导非常宝贵,从提供定期更新到解释珠宝是如何永久化的。他们的工作帮助我完全理解了真正的永久性是什么——知道这些珠宝将永远无法取下,无论发生什么。焦虑是真实的,但在他们的帮助下,我学会了接受和拥抱我决定的重量。
    自从我锁上第一个永久硬化钛脚镯,加上另一个,第一个永久手镯,并等待另一个,我感到一种极端的能量和兴奋。很难不经常看他们。当你走路或锻炼时的持续感觉是真正独特和刺激的。它变得兴奋、上瘾和焦虑同时发生。我在即将将珠宝锁在身上时经历了恐惧和极度焦虑。我把手镯放在手腕或脚上,然后拿起带有死锁弹簧销的锁定件,并将其滑入C形槽中。两个弹簧销都已装填并压下,但锁定件尚未完全插入到它们将在中点锁定的地方。我抖得厉害,怀疑是否应该停下来,担心我可能会长期后悔这个决定。
    手镯已经准备好关闭,但我挣扎着完成这个任务。我辩论撤退。最后,我深吸一口气,感到害怕和担心,并按下。弹簧加载的销子咔嚓一声就位。就是这样——珠宝

    Thank you. I appreciate all the support from this forum and from other anklet enthusiasts. I apologize that i don't post in Chinese for everyone to easier read my blogs, but i am concerned the translation could be off. Really the biggest hurdle was to find the right browser that offers website translation or a translation feature. Lastly to open foreign accounts and activating them was hard. Taobao took me ages to setup. China has some great resources!

    你的永久脚镯经历真的很独特和大胆,能够坚持自己的风格并克服社会偏见,需要很大的勇气和自信,何况你在美国,应该会比我们有更多的包容

    I guess it depends. I do think the US is more tolerant at least in public but with my unique style social death still occurs. Maybe i am also just still a little bit insecure about it since all my bracelets are still so new and permanent. Generally i do feel like we should be bolt with wearing our jewelry in public as much as possible;)

    听起来你的珠宝不仅仅是装饰品,它们更像是你个人身份和经历的象征。这种形式的自我表达真的很酷。

    Yes, my jewelry has indeed become part of an identity. It took me a long time to finally find the right place where i want to be. I used to be always concerned how i would be perceived. I think age and becoming apathetic have added to becoming impulsive when starting to wear permanent jewelry. It was harder when thinking about it too long. Once the bracelet or anklet was locked on you kind of are forced to deal with it!

    Thank you as well. It has definitely been a long journey. I have always worn jewelry but finding the right kind has been a challenge. I have always ended up having to find a customized manufacturer  to assist and in the end it seemed it was always not quite what i wanted verbatim. Most of the jewelry i did find was actually easy to break open and the locking mechanism was not very secure, especially with some household tools. However now i have found my perfect match with the Chinese company i mentioned in my article. The bracelets are extremely well made and are very secure and look very nice. I am very particular with what i wear and wanted to make a bold statement.

    你的永久手镯和脚镯真的非常酷,虽然我现在长期戴着永久脚镯,但我还是不敢尝试你佩戴的那种夸张大胆的永久款式,或许精美小巧一点的脚镯更适合我吧,它已经完全融入到我的生活当中了。

    HI there,
    Yes, it was a bold move to lock on permanent bracelets and anklets!!! i could not agree more. I have always wanted to but was to scared. I have worn bold anklets and bracelets in the past but none of them were truly really permanent. Some of my anklets were (the chains) but I was able to destroy them if i had to. I used to wear ankets from Titanium Steel City but those were not very secure and could be easily opened with household tools. I wanted something truly permanent for a long time but i had a hard time finding a manufacturer that could customize what i wanted until I found a merchant on Taobao. The first anklet was a bit unnerving but now I am starting to get used to the permanence of it all. How about you. What kind of permanent jewelry do you wear? I have not seen any pictures of your jewelry. Is it permanent? For how long have you worn it.?
