What Is Permanent Jewelry?
Made To Stay On
Permanent jewelry is a custom-fit chain with no clasp. We size it right on you, then weld it closed in store with a quick, painless zap, so it stays with you through showers, workouts, beach days and everything in between.
No clasps to fumble with and nothing to take off at night. Come in solo, bring your best friend or make it a family tradition. Our Jewelry Designers will help you find the chain, the charm and the perfect fit.

The Materials
What We Use
Two real metals. We only use real materials, so you can say goodbye to green skin.

Plated vs. Filled vs. Solid
They can all look the same on day one. Slice a chain in half and here's what you'd see.

- Base metal core
Why We Chose Gold Filled
A permanent piece has to keep up with real life. Gold filled gives you the rich look of solid gold and a layer made for everyday wear, at a price that lets you build the stack you actually want.

Good To Know
Your Questions, Answered
Still curious? Our Jewelry Designers love talking chains.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. The welder only touches the chain, not your skin. You'll see a tiny spark, and it's over in a second.
How long does it take?
About 5 to 10 minutes per person.
Do I need an appointment?
Nope! Walk-ins are always welcome at both stores. If you'd like to save a spot, you can book online with a $20 non-refundable deposit, and it gets applied to your chain of choice.
Is gold filled real gold?
Yes! The outer layer is real 14k gold, bonded to a metal core with heat and pressure. In the U.S., a piece can only be called gold filled if that gold layer makes up at least 1/20 of its total metal weight.
Is gold filled better than gold plated?
For everyday wear, yes. Plating is a micro-thin coat that can rub off over time, while a gold filled layer can be up to 100 times thicker. That's why it holds up so well to showers, workouts and real life.
What does 14k mean?
Karats measure how much pure gold is in the metal, out of 24 parts. 14k is 14 parts gold out of 24, or about 58.3% pure gold. The rest is other metals that make it stronger.
What is gold vermeil?
Vermeil is sterling silver coated with gold of at least 10k, at least 2.5 microns thick. It's gorgeous, but it's still a plating, so it's more delicate in water. We don't use it for permanent jewelry.
Can I shower and swim with it?
Yes! Both of our metals are waterproof, so you can shower, swim and hit the gym. Silver may need a quick polish now and then, especially after chlorine.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
We only use real materials, so you can say goodbye to green skin. All of our permanent jewelry is hypoallergenic and nickel free. In the rare case a piece tarnishes, your warranty has you covered with your original receipt.
Gold filled can naturally lose some yellow tint over time. That's normal wear, not a defect.
How long will it last?
With good care, you can enjoy your piece for years. Every chain also comes with a lifetime warranty with your original receipt.
My chain came undone. What do I do?
Come back and see us! Bring your original receipt and all the original parts, and we'll re-weld it for free. No receipt, or it's from somewhere else? We can still re-weld it for a $30 service fee, as long as you have the chain.
What if I lose it?
With your original receipt, we can replace it in the same style for a set fee. Fees depend on the piece and a few things aren't eligible, so check our permanent jewelry warranty for the details.
What if I need to take it off?
You can snip it off with cuticle cutters or nail clippers. Save the chain in case you want it back on later! If you have an MRI or surgery coming up, let your medical team know you're wearing it, since it may need to come off first.
Will it set off airport security?
Nope! Our permanent jewelry goes through airport security with no problem.
Is it safe? Can kids get it?
Yes! It's safe for people of all ages, and we have bracelets and anklets for kids. If you have a known metal allergy, a pacemaker or another implanted medical device, please check with your doctor first.
Can I return or exchange it?
Because every piece is cut and welded just for you, permanent jewelry is final sale and can't be refunded or exchanged. Thank you for understanding!
Do you do permanent jewelry events?
Yes we do! Fill out our event form and we'll help you plan it.
