In short NO!

Permanent jewellery may sound scary? But the whole spot-welding process is painless and safe. It is not attached to your skin (like a piercing or tattoo).

The bracelet/anklet or necklace is welded to itself around your chosen body part. Safety precautions are in place to protect eyes and skin from the flash weld.

As with anything we do this comes with its own risks (although not a regular occurrence). With our spot welding technique there is a small zap noise and a flash of light and its done! Consent to the procedure must be signed on arrival, please disclose any allergies/skin disorders/health conditions on your health declaration form, for your own safety.

We use the highest quality 14 karat gold fill, solid 925 sterling silver chain.

They are hypoallergenic and nickel free, our chains are tarnish-resistant and can last for years with proper care and love. Special chains are subject to availability.

Your beautiful piece of permanent jewellery can be simply cut off for medical procedures and re-welded by Amy Lee for a $20 re-weld fee.

Cutting off the product should be done at one side of the jump ring or link for an easy re-weld.

As you long as you want it to, with proper care the chain can last for as long as you wish. Changes in body chemistry and wear can cause 14k gold fill or sterling silver to tarnish overtime. Sterling silver can be almost polished up to its original state with a jewellery polish cloth.

The lifespan of your forever bracelet is highly dependent on your lifestyle and other external factors. We choose the highest quality chain that can be worn every day, in the shower, sunshine, ocean and beyond so that tarnish will be minimal if at all.

Our pieces are the highest quality 14k Gold-Filled or Solid Sterling Silver which means, with proper love and care they can last many years to come!

They are permanent, not indestructible! Like all jewellery, they may rip, cut and tear in extreme circumstances.

So your permanent piece will last as long as you wish, as long as its treated with love.

14k gold fill metal is a solid layer of real gold pressure bonded to a base metal such as jewellers’ brass. It has a required minimum of 5% solid gold, 100x more than gold plated metal, this makes it an affordable gold option without the tarnishing of gold plating.

With love and care gold fill will retain its colour and shine for many years to come.

We do acknowledge there may be things that pop up that are out of your control, however, our policy requires any cancellations or reschedules to be actioned with a minimum of 48hrs notice or you will lose the deposit fee.

Minimum age is 12 years, parent/guardian consent required for persons under 16 years of age.
