Why Welded?

Welded Jewellery (also known as Permanent Jewellery) is a fast growning new jewellery trend.

People love celebrating milestones or commitments with an experience they can share with their friends and loved ones to create memories as well as jewellery. From bonding friendships to marking special birthdays, welded jewellery is a fun sentimental activity.

You choose the chain and charm/s that are then fitted directly to you, giving you a unique piece of jewellery you can enjoy wearing every day.

Many brides choose welded necklaces so that they don't have to worry about pesky clasps sliding round and showing up in their wedding photos.

    When you arrive for your appointment you get to have a look at chain and charm options to create your own unique combo. You also will be given a waiver to complete if your havent already filled one out.

    You'll be measured up for your chain, and your charm/connector will be added if you've picked one out. This will give you the opportunity to see your creation and give it the thumbs up before it is welded

  • 3

    A link connecting the two ends of the chain will be fused together using a Micro Welder. This is done while the jewellery is in place on your wrist/ankle/neck etc. Your skin is protected with a leather patch and you will be given a panel to shield your eyes from the small flash produced by the machine

MATERIALS USED

Sterling Silver

I use the same hallmark quality chain for permanent jewellery as I would do in my daily jewellery designs, and it is the metal I would recommend for most poeple.

Silver is a beautiful high quality precious metal at an affordable price point, lending itself perfectly to every day welded jewellery.

Silver is not as strong as stainless steel or other base metals, so you do need to treat it with some care.

MATERIALS USED

Gold Filled

Gold filled chains are made from a base metal such as brass or copper which have a layer of gold bonded to the surface.

Gold filled has become a popular choice for jewellery in recent years because it has a higher durability than gold plated, but a lower price point than pure gold.

It's worth being aware that gold filled chains do contain non-precious metals, and so you could be more prone to an allergic reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Welded Jewellery

You may also have heard welded jewellery referred to as Permanent Jewellery.

It is the latest trend taking America and TikTok by storm!

In a nutshell, welded jewellery has no clasp. The ends of the chains are fused together by a tiny weld when they are in situ on the body.

Welded jewellery is designed to be worn every day and not removed. You pick out the chain and any charms or connectors you love to create your own unique piece of jewellery.

It is most popularly used for bracelets, especially to mark a friendship/milestone/celebration.

Can you remove welded jewellery?

Welded jewellery is not designed to be regularly removed. However you can snip your jewellery off carefully using a pair of scarp scissors/snips.

If you carefully cut the original joining link, you will be able to get the jewellery rewelded in the future.

How is it welded?

I use a Mirco Pulse Welder. This is a piece of equipment I use in my jewellery studio regularly to make small joins in metal.

It uses a focused pulse of energy to join two pieces of metal together. My machine is made by an industry leading manufacturer and is designed for welded jewellery applications.

Will it hurt?

Nope, not at all! Welded jewellery refers to the metal in the links of the chain being welded together, not to anything being welded to your actual body/skin.

When your jewellery is being welded, you will hear a click, a hiss and then there will be a small flash, after which the metal will be fused.

I always use a patch of leather as a barrier between your skin and the weld site to give you piece of mind there is no way your skin will be close to the weld when it happens.

Are there any age restrictions

Yes, and these have recently changed. Due to insurance restrictions, I am unable to weld anyone under the age of 18. If you are lucky enough to look around this age, please bring some ID with you.

If you are younger, you can still be part of the experience. I can help you choose a custom chain and charm combo, measure you up but then I will weld a clasp onto the jewellery so you can remove it.

If you come back once you have turned 18 and your bracelet still fits, I will then weld it to you for free as a little birthday pressie from you to me.
