Frequently asked questions.

Permanent jewelry is a piece of jewelry that is welded together while the wearer is present, creating a seamless look and eliminating the need for a clasp. It is intended to be worn all the time, and can be removed only by cutting the chain. Permanent jewelry is available in a variety of styles and materials, including: bracelets, anklets, necklaces, & rings. chains can be added to a variety of items like hair - belly- phone cases panties bikinis and more!The price of permanent jewelry depends on the metal, length, style, and number of pieces, as well as the time it takes to weld. Jewelers often use high-quality materials like solid gold, sterling silver, and natural stones. Permanent jewelry is a popular choice for many reasons, including:

• Low maintenance: Permanent jewelry doesn't need to be taken off or adjusted, and it can be worn in many different settings. 
• Symbol of connection: Permanent jewelry can be a meaningful way to honor a bond with a loved one. 
• Durable: Permanent jewelry is made to last, and can become more beautiful with 

The lifespan of permanent jewelry depends on the metal used and the wearer's lifestyle, but with proper care, it can last for years or even a lifetime: 

• MetalHigh-quality metals like gold and platinum can last a lifetime, while silver may require more care and may not be as durable. Sterling silver and gold-filled pieces may last 1–2 years, while solid gold can last for many years. 
• LifestylePermanent jewelry is designed to be worn daily, but it may not be the best choice for people with active lifestyles, such as those who participate in contact sports or do a lot of hands-on labor. 
• MaintenanceRegular cleaning with mild soap and water can help prevent dirt and oil buildup. It's also recommended to avoid harsh chemicals and to have periodic professional check-ups. 
• Exposure to waterProlonged exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water may impact the integrity of the jewelry. After swimming or bathing, rinse the jewelry with fresh water to help prevent damage. 

The timeline for creating a custom piece varies depending on the complexity of the design and materials used. I work with clients to establish a timeline and keep them updated throughout the process. A simple basic bracelet no charms or connectors will take only 5 to 10 minutes once you have chose your chain. 

, the process of getting permanent jewelry is typically painless and quick: 

• Welding tools: The welding tools used to attach the jewelry to your body don't touch your skin. 
• Protective items: I place a leather or other protective item between your skin and the jewelry to protect it from heat and sparks. 
• Welding wattage: The weld is done at a low wattage that's safe for direct skin contact. 

However, there are some things to consider:

• Skin allergiesSome people may be allergic to the metals used in permanent jewelry, particularly nickel. If you have a history of skin allergies or sensitivities, you should let the jeweler know so they can help you choose the right material. Gold with a higher karat, like 18 or 24 karat, is less likely to contain nickel. 
• FitThe jewelry should fit comfortably, with a couple of centimeters of wiggle room. It shouldn't be so tight that you can't bend your wrist, but it shouldn't be so loose that it's likely to fall off. 
• PregnancyGetting permanent jewelry while pregnant could pose risks to the mother and baby. 
• Medical proceduresMetal jewelry could interfere with certain scans or treatments, so you should consult with your healthcare provider before getting permanent jewelry if you're planning to have medical procedures. 
• Light from the weldThe light from the weld can be damaging to your eyes, so I just ask you to look away or view it through my welding glasses .

Those with pacemakers should not get permanent jewelry because of the welding process. Allergic reactions to our chains are rare, but those with metal allergies should not get permanent jewelry.

With parental consent and accompaniment, I will weld anyone over the age of 8 years old.  assuming they can hold still long enough- ages 8 through 12   must be accompanied by an adult & sign a waiver.

All young people are responsible for the jewelry once it's on their body, and it should be a choice that considers lifestyle, sports, growth spurts, age and other external factors that could cause premature wear and tear.

My pieces are durable, but they are not indestructible. I offer a clasp as an option for children as well.

You can add  to any of your jewelry at a later date.

All of our jewelry is customizable and adaptable as your moods and styles change. My collection is always evolving! .

To add a connector to an already welded chain there will be a fee of $10 on top of the connector price as I will have to cut and reattach a new set of jump rings. Just adding a charm will cost  only the price of the charm. Jump rings are either 14K solid gold or Sterling silver 925 i do not use filled or any other material  as it will not be as strong and durable.

What if it breaks?
Linked up will cover repairs caused by material defect or improper welding of my own permanent jewelry jump rings  for life. just message or call for an appointment.

Outside repairs are on a case-by-case basis. Repair cost is determined by the location and extent of the damage and the type of metal used. If the bracelet has broken in too many places or has become stretched because of improper use, a new piece of permanent jewelry is the only option.No appointment needed just call email or text.
I cannot replace or offer refunds or discounts on lost chains.Nor chains broken outside of my weld. I cover the weld and jump ring not the jewelry itself..

Chains MAY stretch over time depending on the lifestyle of the wearer, but can typically be resized for a $10 reweld fee. If a chain has been assessed and by my standards has stretched beyond repair, it may need to be replaced at the wearer's expense. If your jewelry stretches, remove it with a pair of clippers or kitchen scissors. Don't lose it! give me a call  no appointment needed,  to see if it can be repaired. I cannot replace or offer refunds or discounts on lost chains or gemstones connectors or charms.
 

Your permanent jewelry is delicate enough that it will not set off the metal detectors at the airport. I wear them through all the time! 

I also offer Whenever Jewelry, still custom fit to your body and preferences of charms & connectors can still be added but   instead of linking the chain permanently I will add a solid gold or sterling silver 925 clasp for easy on easy off piece of jewelry.

Permanent jewelry, such as pieces crafted from solid gold, requires no maintenance and will never tarnish. The technique used for making gold-filled jewelry makes it highly durable, ensuring a longer lifespan without tarnishing, peeling, chipping, or discoloration.

Gold filled jewelry is generally safe for sensitive skin. It’s safe to wear your gold filled jewelry on the daily, and is hypoallergenic! Gold filled items are the next best thing to solid gold jewelry. It’s high quality and beautiful.

I  guarantee the strength of the jump ring that is welded. Some chains are more likely to stretch or break than others. I offer a really wide variety of strong options if this is a concern.

If your chain breaks I offer to reweld it for free but I will not replace lost chains.

Absolutely ! I will take any chain you own and add a jump ring  in place of your clasp. I can not Guarantee anything but my weld on these pieces due to the inability to know the actual material. I am not responsible for any damage to your chain that may occur. I ask that you bring in only silver gold filled or solid gold pieces along with steel. A solid gold or silver jump ring will be used in all cases.
