Permanent Jewelry FAQ's:
What do you mean, "permanent"?! The chain is attached around your wrist, neck, or ankle, "permenantly" by using a welder to close the loop. There is no clasp to take the piece on and off.
How does it work? You will choose which chain you'd like, then we will measure to determine how tight/loose you want the piece. Next, I will use my welder to close a jump ring on the chain, so that the piece remains on your body.
A Welder? Doesn't that hurt? No, it doesn't hurt. I use a pulse-arc welder to weld the chain in a closed loop. You won't feel anything, but you do need to wear protective eye wear (that I provide), because the spark the welder creates can cause eye damage. The welder never touches your skin, nor does the spark.
How much does it cost? It depends on what you want. Bracelets made from 14/20 gold fill or sterling silver start at $65. Solid gold options will cost more. Contact me for specifics.
What the heck is 14/20 gold fill?
“Gold fill” is similar to gold plated, except the layer of gold is thicker than traditional plating. This makes a higher quality metal. The first number is the karat purity of the gold used; the second number is the amount, by weight, of gold to the substrate material. “14/20” gold-filled material is made with 14-karat gold, and the gold represents 1/20th (or 5%) of the total weight of the material.
What if I need to remove the bracelet/necklace/anklet? If you need to remove the piece, you can simply clip the jump ring with some wire cutters. In an emergency, you could simply yank on the piece with some force and it will likely break off.
