Permanent Jewelry FAQs
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

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.
Do I need a license?
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.
