Permanent jewellery is a process that eliminates the need for a traditional clasp by welding the chain ends together. Ensuring a secure and lasting bond, this type of jewellery is symbolic of everlasting connection. A popular choice for people celebrating relationships.

Yes, of course. Jewellery is welded using a high quality precision welder, developed especially for permanent jewellery. It works by creating an electrical pulse, using a spark to weld the chain link, without touching your skin. There is a bright flash of UV light emitted and a tiny bit of heat where the join is. You're in safe hands, Lindsay has over 15 years jewellery industry experience and has completed certified training to carry out permanent jewellery services, you'll be provided with specialist goggles and a leather patch to protect your skin.

Yes, we can only provide this service for anyone aged 18 and above due to our insurance policy. It's not recommended for younger children as they're growing all the time and can easily out-grow a permanent piece of jewellery.

Yes, anyone with a pacemaker fitted should not get welded jewellery.

No problem, there may be a time when you need your permanent jewellery removed. Simply cut the chain using a pair of scissors (if it's a thicker chain, you may need to try using nail clippers, or side cutter pliers). If you ever need it re-welded, this can be carried out for a small fee. Alternatively, a clasp can be fitted if you'd prefer to have a removable item.

If you're unsure if you need a piece of jewellery removed, e.g. for a medical scan, consult your doctor beforehand and they'll let you know.

Yes you can. The metals used in permanent jewellery, like silver and gold, are not magnetic and won't set off any alarms.

Yes you can, but there are a few things to note. If you're wearing it in the sea/swimming pool it's possible the salt/chlorine can tarnish your jewellery. It's recommended you rinse this straight after. Follow our care instructions to retain brightness and shine.

Normally fine chains are okay to wear whilst playing sports. But with any chains, there is risk that it can be pulled, resulting in damage or breaking. If you play sports regularly, you may want to consider attaching a clasp.

This is a tailored service, custom fitted to you and for that reason we're unable to accept returns for welded jewellery. If you've got any questions, email hello@laconicfinejewellery.co.uk with the subject line 'Spark'.
