FAQ

What is permanent jewelry?
It's a bracelet, necklace, or anklet custom-fit to your wrist, neck, or ankle that’s ends are connected with a small metal ring that is welded closed. There's no clasp, so it's meant to be worn all the time (but you can cut it off if you need to).
-
Why would I want permanent jewelry?
Lots of reasons! Some people love the sleek, seamless and elegant look, and it can have personal meaning as well. People also love to create fun jewelry stacks over time, and even swap them out seasonally!
-
What kind of metals do you use?
We have sterling silver, gold-filled, rose gold-filled, and some 14 karat gold options. If you want specific chains or charms/connectors in 14 karat gold, we can special order it for you for a fully customized piece.
-
Can I make it more 'me'?
Absolutely! You can pick birthstones, charms, and connectors to make it one-of-a-kind. You can choose things that have special meaning for you.
-
How does it work?
First, you try on different chains and pick your favorites. Then, we size it perfectly for you. Once you love it, we weld it closed right there on the spot.
-
Will it hurt?
Not at all! We use a piece of leather to cover your skin, and it's over in a flash.
-
How do I take care of it?
Just avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and sulfur (heavily chlorinated pools and hot tubs, cleaning products, heavily scented body products, etc), and clean it gently with soap and water and a soft brush.
-
What if it breaks?
No worries, we can easily re-weld it. We can even take that opportunity to add a cute connector or charms to update your look.
-
Can I ever take it off?
Yes, you can cut the little jump ring that connects the ends any time. You can easily do it yourself with nail clippers by clipping the jump ring that was welded (just make sure you protect your eyes). It can be re-welded at a later date, or we can weld a clasp on so it can be worn as a traditional bracelet.
-
Is it safe?
Permanent jewelry is safest when it is welded with a professional welder created for permanent jewelry. We take all precautions for our guest’s safety, including protecting the skin under the weld, providing eye protection and discussing the potential risks of the different chains (heavier vs lighter weight) and the potential for allergic reaction to jewelry in general. We can answer all your questions before your appointment and make sure you are completely comfortable with the process.
