Starting a new business can feel overwhelming, especially when stepping into an industry you’re unfamiliar with. If you’ve ever considered permanent jewelry but felt unsure about where to start, you’re not alone. Many people assume they need prior experience, a big investment, or a storefront to make it work—but that’s not the case.
The truth is, that permanent jewelry is a flexible, rewarding, and growing industry that offers endless opportunities. If you’ve been on the fence, here are five things that might just inspire you to take the leap.
You Don’t Need Prior Jewelry Experience
One of the biggest misconceptions about permanent jewelry is that you have to be a jeweler or have years of experience. In reality, many successful permanent jewelry artists started with no background in metalsmithing or welding. With the right guidance and a willingness to learn, you can gain the skills you need to create beautiful, lasting pieces.
Startup Costs Are Manageable
Starting a business doesn’t always require a huge investment. Permanent jewelry allows for a low-barrier entry, with starter kits that provide the essential tools and materials to begin. Unlike traditional jewelry-making, there’s no need for costly casting, stone-setting, or production—just a welding machine, quality chains, and charms you can order directly from PJS.
It’s a Growing Industry
Permanent jewelry is more than just a trend—it’s a movement. The demand for unique, meaningful jewelry experiences continues to rise, and people love the idea of custom pieces that symbolize connections, milestones, and personal style. With more consumers seeking experience-driven shopping, now is a great time to be part of something that resonates with people on a deeper level.
You Can Start Small
Many people assume they need a storefront to run a jewelry business, but that’s not the case with permanent jewelry. You can start at your own pace by booking pop-ups, private appointments, or local events. This gives you the freedom to build your business while balancing other commitments, all without the pressure of high overhead costs.
You’re Never Alone
Starting something new can feel intimidating, but the good news is you don’t have to do it alone. Whether it’s learning the craft, finding customers, or navigating the business side of things, PJS has plenty of resources available to support you plus we offer one-on-one consultation calls.
