So is it really permanent?

While our chains are welded on and our pieces are durable, they are not indestructible. Please use care and consciousness. The daintier the chain, the more fragile. We are not responsible for broken or lost chains. 

Does it hurt??

No!! Getting permanent jewelry is a quick, painless and fun experience. The spark generated during this process is NOT of high temperature. 

Can it be removed?

If the jewelry needs to be removed for any reason, it can be easily removed with jewelry snips or nail clippers and re-welded for a small fee if desired. Make sure to cut at the jump ring and keep your chain! 

Does it require any maintenance?

Our jewelry can undergo months of wear without needing to be cleansed! To maintain the integrity of the link, aftercare can be used to remove debris or build-up. 

What is your jewelry made of?

All of our chains are high quality sterling silver and gold filled. Gold-filled chains consist of a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal. At a minimum, the amount of gold is 5% the total weight of the product. It Is extremely tarnish resistant + lasts years!

What if it falls off?
