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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. I won't weld any jewellery for people under the age of 16 (but don't worry, you can still experience part of the process. You can choose your chain and charm but I will weld on a clasp instead)

If you are over 16 but under 18 I will need to see ID and have a parent or guardian with you to sign a waiver for you.
