Permanent Jewelry

A chain that stays. Custom-sized to your wrist, ankle, or neck — rivet-sealed by hand. No clasp. No opening. Just the weight of it, the permanence of it, the choice of it.

Pricing

What does it cost?

Priced by piece. Sterling silver, 14k gold-filled, or 14k solid gold — your choice.

Bracelets

$35 – $450

Most popular. Sized to your wrist — snug enough to feel it, loose enough to forget it's there.

Anklets

$40 – $500

Delicate chain around your ankle. Worn in the water, worn in summer, worn forever.

Necklaces

$55 – $750

Layer it, wear it alone, or pair with a pendant. Priced by length and metal.

Rings

$35 – $250

Thin stacking rings rivet-fitted to your size. Stackable, minimal, and completely permanent.

Prices vary by chain style and metal. Exact quote at your appointment. No hidden fees.

The Process

How It Works

1

Choose your chain

Pick your style — rope, cable, satellite, or box chain — and your metal: sterling silver, 14k gold-filled, or 14k solid gold.

2

Get fitted

We drape the chain and size it to your wrist, ankle, or neck. No guesswork — it's custom to you, on the spot.

3

Welded closed

We use a precision welding technique to seal the chain closed — the weld point is the strongest part of the piece. No clasp. No opening. It stays on.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does it hurt?

No. The rivet tool works on the chain ends only, not your skin. You feel nothing. Most people barely notice it happening.

Can I go through airport security (TSA)?

Yes. Permanent jewelry is thin chain — it does not set off metal detectors and does not need to be removed at TSA. It travels with you.

How long does it last?

Forever, with reasonable care. Solid gold is the most durable. Gold-filled is excellent for everyday wear. Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorinated pools) and it will hold up for years.

Can it be removed?

Yes — cut it off with a pair of scissors if you need to. The rivet seal is strong but the chain is thin. No tools required, no damage to your skin.

Can I shower, swim, or work out in it?

Yes. That's the point. It's permanent — it goes where you go. Avoid harsh chemicals and salt water for extended periods with gold-filled; solid gold handles everything.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes — email us to book. Walk-ins may be accommodated when we have availability, but appointments are guaranteed.
