What permanent jewellery is and how the weld works

Permanent jewellery is a clasp-free bracelet that is custom-sized on your wrist, then closed using a specialist micro-welder. We measure over your wrist bone, help you choose a chain, place a protective patch between your skin and the jump ring, and make a short, controlled weld that fuses the ring shut. The spark is directed at the metal only. You will see a quick flash, then we cool and check the join. The entire process typically takes only a few minutes once you have chosen your chain.

If you ever need to remove your bracelet, visit us for help or carefully cut the jump ring at home. You can keep the chain for future re-welding.

Safety and what you will feel

The spark does not touch your skin. We use a protective barrier and position the join away from your wrist. You may notice a quick click and see a tiny spark, but you should not feel heat. Our team follows hygienic standards throughout and talks you through each step so you know exactly what is happening.

Choosing your fit: close or relaxed

Fit is personal and depends on how you plan to wear your bracelet. We guide you using wrist-bone measurement and a simple flex test.

• Close fit: Sits neatly with minimal movement. Great as a base layer for stacks and for slimmer wrists that prefer a clean line. You should still be able to flex your hand comfortably.
• Relaxed fit: A touch more drape for easy everyday movement. Ideal if you like to stack chunkier bangles or wear a watch on the same wrist.

If you are unsure, try a standard middle-ground fit first. We can size on your stacking wrist so your permanent bracelet sits comfortably under a tennis bracelet or beside a bangle without tangling.

Styling it as your base stack

Think of your welded bracelet as your everyday anchor. Build from there with texture and sparkle.

• With tennis bracelets: Follow the one-finger rule for comfort under a tennis chain. Let the permanent bracelet sit slightly closer to the wrist. This creates a smooth base so the tennis stones can catch the light on top.
• With bangles: Add a polished bangle or an engraved cuff on the outside for structure. The contrast of a fluid chain against a solid piece feels intentional and balanced.
• Mixed metals: Keep one metal dominant and use a second tone as an accent. For instance, a gold anchor chain with a silver tennis bracelet, then a slim gold bangle to tie it back.

Our bracelets and bangles range includes dainty chains, clover-inspired pieces and tennis styles, so you can try combinations in store and check comfort before we weld.

Matching pairs and group fittings

Welded bracelets make a relaxed plan for birthdays, reunions and back-to-uni meetups. Come as a pair to choose coordinating chains, or book a small group and create a mini stack together. Many friends pick the same chain in different metals, or add a tiny charm to mark the moment. Walk-ins are welcome subject to availability, and appointments help secure your preferred time, especially at weekends.

If you are gifting, our Permanent Jewellery Gift Voucher is a simple way to let the recipient choose their chain and fit in store.

What to expect in your appointment or walk-in

• Consultation and chain try-on
• Custom wrist measurement and fit choice
• Protective patch, quick spark-safe weld and cool-down
• Final comfort check and styling tips for stacking

You can usually be in and out within the opening window of a casual browse. If you are popping by with a friend group, a quick call helps us prepare the right styles to sample.

Aftercare and everyday wear

Permanent bracelets are designed for regular wear. Rinse with warm soapy water, pat dry and buff with a soft cloth when needed. Avoid harsh chemicals and strong fragrances directly on the chain. If your bracelet looks dull after a season of wear, pop in for professional cleaning and a check of your stack.
