Frequently Asked Questions about Permanent Jewellery
What Is Permanent Jewellery
Welcome to our exclusive permanent jewellery service in Adelaide, South Australia. Our dedicated studio offers a unique experience where you can create your own custom-fit, dainty 14k gold filled, sterling silver and solid gold chain jewellery.
All permanent jewellery are welded on by Eileen herself who is a professional silversmith with years of knowledge and experience in jewellery making and using welding technique- which is imperative in ensuring safety during the process and the quality of products.
Permanent jewellery - also frequently known as Infinity Jewellery, Eternal Jewellery, Soldered or Welded on Jewellery - not only adds a touch of elegance to your look but also offers long-lasting value. With proper care, these pieces retain their beauty and brilliance, becoming treasured keepsakes.
At our studio, we employ spot welding techniques to securely attach the chain, giving the impression of jewellery that is "permanently" on your body.
They guarantee a seamless finish, with no need for clasps and will stay in place on all occasions- even swimming or working out. The use of high-quality, tarnish-resistant materials ensures that your jewellery can be worn continuously without losing its beauty.
Please be aware that while our dainty chains are designed for durability but are not indestructible. Although rare, there is a possibility that your chain may come apart. In such instances, we offer *free repairs/ reweld within the first 7 days after your appointment.

They are hypoallergenic and nickel free. Our chains are tarnish-resistant and can last for years with proper care and love.
What is Gold Filled?
Gold filled metal is a solid layer of real gold bonded to a base metal such as brass. It has a requirement of minimum 2 microns of heavy real gold- almost 100x more gold than gold plated jewellery- but without the price tag of solid gold. With proper care, it does not wear or tarnish easily and is ideal for every day wear.
How long do my welded-on bracelet, anklet and/or necklace last?
With proper care, the chain can last for as long as you want. Please be aware that while our dainty chains are designed for durability, they are not indestructible. Although rare, there is a possibility that your chain may come apart. In such instances, we offer *free repair for the first 7 days after your appointment.
Changes in body chemistry and wear can cause 14k gold filled or sterling silver to tarnish over time.
How do I remove my permanent jewellery?
Should you ever need to remove your permanent jewellery, simply cut the chain at the jump ring, which holds it together, and keep it safe. During your next appointment, we will be delighted to *re-zap and restore your piece to its original glory. See terms and conditions.
What if the chain breaks or stretches?

Do you offer Permanent Jewellery to kids/ babies? I see other businesses doing so.
We are a fully insured jewellery business and have the legal obligations to not weld Permanent Jewellery on kids/ babies below 12 (age 12 to 16 require parental consent) due to a large number of safety concerns. Morally, we also do not feel that it is right to weld on kids/ babies who are still developing; and may not be able to follow through all after care instructions.
How do I care for my permanent jewellery?
Yes, you can certainly wear them in water; and yes you can also use your standard skincare products while wearing our permanent jewellery.
For the longevity of your friendship jewellery, we do recommend avoiding harsh chemicals such as cleaning products and alcohol based perfumes. Wash them with a soft brush and warm soapy water; and polish your friendship bracelet, anklet and necklace to keep them shiny.
It is important to wash your jewellery with warm soapy water after swimming in chlorinated pool, ocean or after excessive sweating.
I need to cancel my appointment - Do I get my deposit back?
You can reschedule or cancel your appointment up to 24 hours before your scheduled time. Failure to do so or non-attendance on the day will result in the loss of your $50 deposit. Please note that deposits are non-refundable. They can however be put towards a new service and/or online products.
