What is Permanent Jewelry?
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.
WHAT ARE THE COSTS?
ShopPay is available for all purchases made on PJS.
Cost associated with permanent jewelry are related to the initial investment, operating expenses and optional marketing costs.
Fixed Costs
- Training - Training can be supported by free content on Youtube. We strongly recommend learning the right way the first time, from the experts.
Receive expert training for you and your team. The PJS Welded Jewelry Certification (WJC) eCourse includes 5+ hrs of content, covering key topics from setup and your first weld, to safety and customer service. Fast and accessible ($349), training is free with any Welding Kit. - Welding kits should be a way for you to save while you get started. They should be loaded with everything you need, nothing more, at an affordable price.
- Welding Machine - the primary expense is purchasing a welding
machine. PJS recommends Sunstone™ Orion™ or Lampert PUK welding machines. A good welding machine will minimize re-welds, and maximize happy customers, ensuring a consistent and safe welding experience. Standard welding machines range in price from $2400 to $5900. - Setup – at a minimum permanent jewelry requires a stable, flat working surface to place the machine and position clients for welding.
Variable Costs
- Inventory – costs dependent on quality, volume, supplier and tax status. A well connected supplier will help keep your margins high. Shop PJS to view our supply. Inventory orders placed with PJS ship within 3-4 business days.
- Storage – Jewelry inventory takes up very little space! Invest in a secure safe to store jewelry when not in use.
- Labor – only one individual is required to assist clients with jewelry and operate the welding machine. Welding is easy! Most often, team members will welcome the chance to expand their value, and even earn extra income throughout their day.
Optional
- Marketing expenses
- Employee commissions
How much can I make?
Did you know? A permanent jewelry appointment only takes 10-20 minutes.
Make a sound business decision - start by learning about the revenue, costs and requirements of a permanent jewelry service.
The Welding Kit & Training bundle contains chain and charms to cover 25+ bracelets, over $1200 in retail value.

- Revenue projections for permanent jewelry are based on type of metal (sterling silver, gold-filled, 14k gold etc.) and sales volume. Higher quality metals can be sold at higher price points.
- If scheduling appointments, revenue projections for your permanent jewelry service can be estimated with bookings multiplied by average order value.
- Marketing your permanent jewelry offering is easy. With over 2bn TikTok views, permanent jewelry is forever trending. Notify new and existing customers you're in business! Or, successfully host your first event.

What are the advantages?
Permanent jewelry has a few great advantages when it comes to inventory –
- It's easy to make room for permanent jewelry. A minimum 6'x6' space is recommended to setup a flat, stable working surface to place the welding machine and allow clients to sit across from staff. We recommend utilize your waiting area or any area that isn't directly contributing to your revenue.
- Jewelry doesn’t expire!
- Shipping from suppliers is inexpensive due to light supplies weight and small packaging.
- Lead times from PJS are short and ordering is a breeze – freeing up your cash for other investments until it’s time to re-order.
Jewelry offerings can be catered to your clientele. Carry a variety of chains and charms or stick to your best movers! PJS specially curates its collection for the most popular styles that are best for permanent jewelry - saving you time searching for the right products.
Be sure to check that your insurance provider covers fine jewelry inventory. A separate Jewelers Block policy may be needed.

Safety & Regulations
There are currently no mandatory safety regulations, certifications or licenses required to offer permanent jewelry services. Permanent jewelry, when done correctly, is safe - however, there are risks associated with the use of a micro-welding machine (a.k.a. welder). The quality of your welding machine can affect its safety performance. All welders supplied by PJS have completed rigorous safety testing.
PJS Recommended Protective Measures
- To protect your clients and staff, all safety guidelines should be followed as outlined in your user manual included in all welders we carry.
- Place a leather barrier between the client and the jewelry while welding to avoid potential injury.
- Have your clients sign a liability waiver prior to receiving permanent jewelry services.
Please consult your state's appropriate regulatory body to ensure compliance prior to offering permanent jewelry.

Real Stories from Beauty Businesses
START LIKE A PRO
Leave guesswork behind with money-saving tips curated by the pros (Love Weld™)
We want you making more than you spend on permanent jewelry. Mediocre machinery, loosely relevant marketing bits, and low-grade jewelry supplies are NOT required to provide a permanent jewelry experience.
What we wish we knew...
Tip: You buy cheap, you buy twice. A quality welding machine (a.k.a. Welder) protects your growing revenue.
Welding Machine (a.k.a. welder)
Purpose: To weld the chain links (and any charms) together to form a permanent jewelry piece.
Your most expensive startup expense for permanent jewelry. To make sure sure that expense is once-off:
- Be Conscious of the Manufacturer
The gold-standard quality machine is a Sunstone™ (with the only welder created specifically for permanent jewelry) or a German-made Lampert welder. - Be wary of the warranty
If you purchase a low-quality machine, be aware that its warranty may not exist, or contain impossible clauses. A high-quality machine will provide warranty strong coverage (3 year minimum), a robust safety and user manual, and a customer care team.
Permanent Jewelry re-welds and refunds can be avoided
Investing in a quality welder can:
1. Protect your revenue from expensive re-welds
2. Capture customer referrals from a quality experience.
Rest assured, your supplier PJS will only carry equipment that is safe, warrantied, & reliable for you and your clients.
Tip: Although free material is available publicly, it's worth insuring your investment by training you or your team members correctly - the first time.
Full training is FREE with any Welding machine or Welding Kit.
Welded Jewelry Certification (WJC)
5 Modules | Video Lectures & Written Content | 100% Self-Paced Virtual
In the permanent jewelry world, you'll notice that suppliers may encourage businesses to spend thousands on training bundles, which contain a range of loosely related marketing materials.
What they won't tell you is that welding training is simple. It boils down to mastering the Jump Ring weld, for which free welding content is available on YouTube. So, many business owners choose to navigate the learning process independently.
As you're considering how to train yourself or a team, evaluate using at least these three factors:
1. Purpose
The purpose of training programs for permanent jewelry varies drastically.
Our purpose, is to deliver quick and complete training for you or a team member. Training shouldn't take forever. We want you trained quickly so you can focus on what you do best. From mastering the jump ring weld, to operating your welding machine, we cover everything you need to know.
As the experts, we've incorporated practical step-by-step guides and business tips to help you achieve years of learning in just hours.
2. Quality
If you're investing in training, choose a program created by people who own and run real permanent jewelry businesses. Built by the experts, our Welded Jewelry Certification contains insights and practices deployed across hundreds of welders nationwide.

Many providers charge thousands for training kits loaded with loosely relevant marketing materials. Our curriculum is focused, affordable, and available standalone for $349.
Tip: Mastering "the weld" means revenue from pieces produced in seconds, ranging from bracelets and necklaces, to anklets and body jewelry.
Welding Kit (a.k.a. Starter Kit)
Purpose: To provide everything you need to start creating permanent jewelry pieces, with a machine purchase either optional or required.
Any training program will require these three materials to complete:
- Welding Machine (a.k.a. Welder) To weld the chain links together (and add any charms) to form a permanent jewelry piece
- Basic Tools
To conduct the welding process (e.g. electrodes, pliers, etc.) - Jewelry Supplies
Items that will form the jewelry pieces (e.g. Chain, jump rings, charms optional)
This is why most Welding Kits typically contain options from all three categories.
Shopper tip: Because most welding kits contain the same basics - When you're targeting a kit, run a quick price comparison on the items included to ensure there isn't a comparable option at a lower cost.
