FAQs

With over 2 BILLION views on TikTok, and a 9,900% increase in web searches, permanent jewelry is one of the most newly sought after services today. 

Why the popularity? We've all experienced the heartbreak of losing a special or expensive piece of jewelry that leaves you feeling empty and bare. Permanent jewelry is often a necklace, anklet or bracelet that's applied to the wearer without a clasp, and is sealed together, forever, with a micro-welding machine. Once applied, the jewelry can only be removed by cutting it off.

The Experience
Offer your customer a unique and lasting experience - in less time than a manicure.

Clients can relax across from a permanent jewelry expert (that's you) - sip bubbly, choose their chain and charms - and have a custom bracelet, necklace or anklet tailor fit and welded on with a delightful, painless spark. In 10-15 minutes customers can leave feeling fashionably adorned with a personal, forever momento - and a reminder of your outstanding care.

Permanent jewelry is a bracelet, anklet, or necklace that is custom-fitted and welded together without a clasp. The process uses a safe, quick micro-welding technique to create a seamless piece that’s designed to be worn every day. Many businesses add permanent jewelry as a service because it creates a unique, personalized experience for customers while generating high-profit margins.

The startup costs for a permanent jewelry business typically range from $2,500–$10,000, depending on the equipment, materials, and training you choose. Essential expenses include a permanent jewelry welding machine, chains and charms, safety equipment, and training. Many entrepreneurs start small with a starter kit and scale up as demand grows, making it a low-barrier, high-reward revenue stream.

Yes—when done correctly, permanent jewelry is completely safe. The welding process uses a small, precise arc of heat that never touches the skin. With proper training and safety practices, permanent jewelry can be offered in salons, boutiques, spas, and pop-up events without risk. Customers can enjoy the convenience of a clasp-free piece that can be easily removed by cutting the chain if needed.

Permanent jewelry has some of the highest profit margins in the beauty and boutique industry, often ranging from 70–90%. For example, a bracelet that costs $10–$15 in materials can sell for $60–$100 or more, depending on location and chain type. Many businesses report making $500–$2,000 in a single event by offering permanent jewelry as a premium add-on service.

While a license is not required in most states, training is highly recommended to ensure safe welding practices, proper chain selection, and the best customer experience. Many suppliers and industry experts offer permanent jewelry training courses that include machine setup, safety protocols, and business tips. Starting with professional training helps you feel confident and ensures your clients leave happy with their new jewelry.
