Permanent Jewelry
What is Permanent Jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is a custom-fit, clasp-free accessory that is welded directly onto you, creating a seamless and stylish piece you never have to take off. The process is quick, painless, and tailored to your personal style.
Whether you’re celebrating a special moment, matching with loved ones, or simply treating yourself, permanent jewelry is a unique and meaningful way to wear your style effortlessly!
How It Works:
Step 1
Getting permanent jewelry is quick, painless, and completely safe. Catch us in your neighborhood at one of our pop-up events and browse 150+ options of high-quality chains, charms, and engravable blanks.
Step 2
Once you choose your chain and any charms, we custom-fit the piece to your wrist, ankle, finger, or neck. We’ll work with you to make sure the fit is just right—adjusting the chain until you're completely happy with how it sits before we weld it in place.
Step 3
A small, safe spark from our welding tool fuses the chain, no heat ever touches your skin. The entire process takes just a few minutes and leaves you with a durable, beautiful piece you'll never have to take off.
Want to make it even more personal? You can add a custom engraved charm to your piece—featuring names, dates, initials, or even photos. Just head over to the Custom Engraving section on our site to explore your options!
Gold-filled
Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure-bonding a thick layer of genuine 14K gold to a durable metal alloy core. By U.S. standard, it must contain at least 5% real gold by total weight, making it far more substantial than gold-plated pieces. Durable, water-resistant, and suitable for most sensitive skin, gold-filled jewelry is designed for everyday wear and can maintain its color and shine for many years with proper care.
Metal Options
925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is crafted from 92.5% pure silver blended with small amounts of other metals for added strength and durability. It is hypoallergenic (to most), high-quality, and a timeless choice for everyday wear. While sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time due to air, moisture, or certain products, tarnish is surface-level and easily removed—restoring its original shine with simple cleaning.
PVD /Ion-Plated Stainless Steel
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) bonds a layer of real gold (usually 18K, deeper yellow in color) to stainless steel using a vacuum process, creating a strong, tarnish-resistant finish. This method forms a durable surface that is hypoallergenic (to most), water-safe, and ideal for everyday or permanent jewelry. Unlike traditional plating, PVD is designed to resist fading, flaking, and tarnishing—maintaining its shine through daily wear.
Gold Plated
Gold Plated (electroplated) Gold-plated jewelry is made by applying a thin layer of real gold over a base metal (usually brass) using an electrical bonding process. Because the gold layer is delicate, it is best suited for occasional or seasonal wear rather than permanent jewelry. Over time, exposure to friction, moisture, and everyday wear will cause the finish to fade. At Linked by Design, we do not use electroplated materials.
