Permanent Jewelry is applied with a welding machine which is specifically created for fragile metals. After the client has been sized for the appropriate amount of slack, the spark welds together a jump ring or two ends of the chain, that replaces the need for a clasp (clasp-less jewelry).

Nope! Permanent jewelry is completely painless! The spark that is generated during this process is NOT of high temperature, and the client will not feel a thing as we are working with the metal. There is absolutely no risk to the client since your machine will only react to metal. Even if the customer's skin comes into contact with the weld point, the electrode will not generate a spark. We will also use a small piece of leather to shield your skin from the spark! Making sure you feel extremely safe!

The chains applied during this process are thin enough to last but not thick enough to cause harm to the wearer in the event that it becomes caught on an object. If the jewelry needs to be removed for any reason, simply snip with a pair of scissors. The jewelry can always be re-welded! All chains come with one free re-weld! If a chain needs to be removed for any medical reason, we will also re-weld for free! Scissors, wire cutters, or pliers are all capable of cutting your jewelry. For necklaces, in case of emergency and for added safety, we leave one link un-welded so that it is easier to pull off.

This jewelry can undergo months of wear without needing to be cleansed. To maintain the integrity of the link, aftercare can be used to remove debris or build up.

Gold fill - a more economical choice while still long lasting. Our gold fill chain will stay gold for 1 year + and then will slowly fade. It's still waterproof, tarnish resistant, and won't turn your skin green. Sterling Silver - Our sterling silver chain is economical and sparkly. A beautiful metal that our natural body oils help polish. Like all sterling silver it does tarnish over time, but is waterproof and won't turn skin green. With proper care sterling silver chain can last 1 year +

Rescheduling is totally acceptable! You’re able to reschedule your appointment and transfer your deposit at any point before 24hours prior to your appointment. Unfortunately, if you don’t reschedule before 24hrs prior to your appointment, your deposit will be non-refundable. Failure to appear for your appointment and without giving any notice, your deposit will also become non-refundable.

If there are no appointments available at the time you want, it either means that someone else has already booked that slot or our welders are unavailable. You’re always welcome to call with questions regarding appointments but no appointment slot is guaranteed

A deposit ensures commitment for both parties. We ask for $15 at time of booking which will go towards the final price of the jewelry (ie - if the jewelry you choose is $80, you will pay $15 when you book online and $65 in-person and prior to the jewelry being installed) Your deposit is fully refundable if you cancel your appointment with more than 24hrs notice.

We will happily accommodate a group! Online, we ask that one appointment be made for every 2 persons in the group, and that the appointments are made back-to-back. If these options are not available through our booking system, please feel free to reach out to us so we can manually create an appointment for you.

Definitely! Just contact us and include photos and the original material price and we’ll see what we can do. Depending on the chain, we may or may not have the material capability to repair other shops’ jewelry but we’ll try our best! A small fee will be owed of $20

Of course! We ask that you contact us and send photos and materials of the jewelry you currently have so we can make sure that the pieces will be cohesive. But if you find a charm you love we'd be happy to add it to your bracelet!

Each appointment is 15 minutes long
