Common Questions about Permanent Jewelry

Don't let the name scare you. It is essentially clasp-less jewelry in the form of minimal fine chains, custom fit and made for you by a jewelry professional. It is measured to suit your individual wrist, ankle, finger, neck and professionally micro- welded in place for delightfully minimal and effortless wear. Currently offering bracelets, anklets, necklaces & rings.

 

As a professional metalsmith with over 14 years of experience, I offer only the highest quality materials from USA trusted metal refineries.  Additionally, I pride myself in practicing the highest standards of safety for permanent jewelry application and have an excellent history of customer service and satisfaction. 

Nope! The micro welder never touches your skin, but even if it did it wouldn't hurt. It produces a small flash to fuse the metal link but no heat is transferred. And despite being safe to use against skin, a leather strip will be used as a skin barrier for your own peace of mind. Additionally, goggles are provided to protect your eyes from the bright weld flash. 

As "permanent" as you'd like. These chains are easy to cut off at the weld joint or along the chain with a sharp pair of scissors or pliers at your convenience, should you chose to remove it. 

Additionally, items can be re-welded on you for a small fee if needed and this fee will be waived if you need to remove for a medical procedure (ex: MRI). 

How long does the appointment take? 

An individual welding session is 15-20 mins. Please allocate this amount of time for each member in your party when booking with me. 

You can book an appointment online using the form below.

Richmond locals can find me on select dates in Richmond VA at the Bryan Park Farmers Market (please note dates in my event page) and see other pop-up opportunities here.  

Currently offering Sterling Silver, 14K goldfill and 14K Gold. 

Silver options start around $55 / 14K Goldfill options start around $65 / solid 14K Gold options start around $125. 

Yes. The beauty of such dainty chains + precious metals of sterling silver, 14K goldfill, and 14K gold is that they do not set off metal detectors and thus safe to take through airport security.  

Chains will stay on with normal wear; however, as with any jewelry, care should be taken to ensure longest wear. It would be extremely rare for your chain to fall off. Apart from a hard snag, this shouldn't happen. 

If something does break within 10 days of wear, save your chain and I will re-weld your piece back on for free. Additional care tips and tricks will be provided at your appointment. I am not responsible if your piece is broken or lost past 10 days of your original weld date. However, I can re-weld pieces for a small fee past this date if you save the chain. 

But, how many is too many?
Great Question! These are just SO fun to stack and all the different textures really shine in contrast to each other.  I definitely recommend a stack! However, I also recommend limiting yourself to 5- 6 fine chains for safety from snags and overall minimalistic comfort.   

Im currently offering this service to anyone but request a parent/guardian present and a signature of consent for anyone under 16. 

Given the custom nature of each piece individually measured to fit you, there are no returns on these items. All sales are final.

 

Just fill out the form below and let me know when your event is (if already known).  I will reply with my availability as soon as possible. There is no set-up fee.

For events, I do offer a hostess benefit but require a minimum of 10 welds (this can be 10 people each selecting one item or 5 people each wanting two welded items like an anklet + bracelet, or some wanting 2 bracelets, etc.)
