Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Permanent Jewellery?
It is essentially a seamless chain, without any clasps. Using a safe and painless process, the chain is welded closed to form an endless bracelet, necklace, anklet or ring.
There is no clasp to worry about snagging clothing, allowing for fuss-free and carefree wear.
The concept of wearing a "permanent" chain is to honour a special person, bond or event in your life or simply to serve as a reminder of your own beauty and individuality.
Each piece is custom fitted to your measurements and can then be personalised by adding charms and connectors from our collection to tell your story and suit your unique style.
Will it hurt?
No it will not hurt! We use a micro-welder which is specifically designed for permanent jewellery and the welding tools never touch your skin.. There will be a small spark. That’s it!
Plus you will be given a pair of groovy glasses to wear to protect your eyes from the spark if you wish to watch the process.
Will it break? What if it does?
Our chains are hand picked for their high quality, but accidents can still occur, just as they do with chains with clasps.
If your chain does break, we will happily re-weld it at no cost, always, forever. No questions asked.
Simply keep the chain somewhere safe and make an appointment to come back to see us when you are ready.
How long will it last & can I remove it?
If you take care of your jewellery it could last for years. If you ever do want to take it off, simply snip the jump ring or delicate part of the chain with scissors or cutters.
Be sure to keep it somewhere safe and we can re-weld it when you’re ready.
We also offer chains with clasps for anyone who wants to join in the fun, but would like to be able to take it on and off.
Will it set of airport security alarms?
No.
Can I wear this during a medical proceedure?
There’s typically no issue with wearing your chain during most medical procedures, but it's important to follow your doctor’s advice. If removal is necessary, we’ll happily re-weld it at no cost, or we can add a clasp for a small fee.
Is there an age requirement?
You need to be 16 years or older unless you have a parent or guardian with you.
Can I have more than one chain?
Yes, absolutely! Some customers have a whole stack. Each chain after the first is discounted $10.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking is necessary, so please get in touch via email to schedule an appointment.
As we do not have a fixed studio location, we offer the flexibility of coming to you. We can establish our setup in any area with a power outlet, plus a table and two chairs. Alternatively we can bring our own.
For solid gold chains, we kindly request a minimum of two weeks' notice. This allows us to prepare a catalog for you to select from and then order your chain, as we do not keep them in stock. However, sterling silver and gold-filled chains are readily available at all times.
How long does it take?
It typically takes about 15 -20 minutes to fit the chains. The most time-consuming part is choosing your chain and charms from our exquisite collection!
Can I add a clasp to my permanent chain instead?
Yes! We understand that you may have reasons for either removing the chain or choosing to fit it with a clasp. Our clasps can be purchased for a small fee, that way you can still personalise it with charms and tailor its size to fit you perfectly.
Can I purchase a bespoke chain with a clasp online?
Yes, absolutely! We will email you a catalgue of the chains and charms we have on hand. You select the items you like from our collection, provide your measuremements and we will weld your unique piece of jewellery and ship it to your door. Simple as that!
Can I gift a Permanent Jewellery appointment or a clasped piece?
Yes! We offer gift cards for appointments on Waiheke Island, Auckland. All our jewels are also available for purchase online with a clasp and shipped to your lucky giftee. We will email you a catalgue of the chains and charms we have on hand. You select the items you like from our collection, provide the measuremements and we will weld your unique piece of jewellery , gift wrap it and ship it to their door or direct to you.
Do you offer gift cards/ vouchers?
Yes! Our gift cards are available for purchase at a value of your choice. They can be used for Permanent Jewellery appointments or for clasped jewellery.
How do I choose my size when shopping online?
To determine your correct size, we recommend using a piece of string to measure the circumference of your wrist or ankle in centimeters.
Necklaces, Bracelets & Anklets: Indicate your preferred comfortable fit on the string, then measure the string using a ruler.
For bracelets, it is ideal to have a snug fit that permits a finger to slide underneath, offering some movement but without being easily snagged.
For rings: wrap the string around your finger so that you are able to roll it off but it is tight enough not to fall off.
Do you do events and group bookings?
Yes! Half the fun is doing it with your friends!
We would be thrilled to join you at your next event. We are happy to come to your home, holiday accommodation or event space on Waiheke Island.
Additionally, we are open to considering events in the Auckland region if there is a a sufficient number of jewellery participants.
How do I care for my Permanent Jewellery?
We use the highest quality materials to allow for the utmost durability. Like any fine chain, we encourage proactive maintenance to help keep your piece shining as bright as the day you got it.
We recommend regular cleaning clean of your solid gold, gold filled and sterling silver jewellery with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or a very soft child’s toothbrush. Alterniatively polish with a specialised jewellery cloth, specific to the metal you have, to restore your jewellery to a brilliant shine especially during the summer or when using lotion or other oil-based skincare products.
