What is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry in St. John is a custom fitted bracelet, anklet, or necklace that is welded closed for a seamless finish. There is no clasp and nothing to fasten each day. Just a piece designed to move naturally with you through everyday life in the Virgin Islands and beyond.

Whether you are marking a milestone, celebrating a friendship, honoring a relationship, or choosing something meaningful for yourself, permanent jewelry transforms the moment into something lasting. Each piece is custom fit and welded in St. John, creating a refined and personal experience from start to finish.

FAQ’s

  • Not at all! The process is quick, safe, and painless! The weld happens only on the metal— never on your skin. There will be a spark as your bracelet, or anklet gets sealed.

  • With proper care, your jewelry can last for years! It’s meant to stay on indefinitely, but if you ever need to remove it, it can be clipped off easily with scissors or wire cutters. (ideally, at the weld site if you ever wanted it re-welded.)

However, if you have a sentimental piece you’d love to incorporate, feel free to reach out I’d love to explore creative to include it in your jewelry experience.

  • All Permanent jewelry sales are final, as each piece is custom-fit, and welded specifically to you. However, I want you to absolutely love your jewelry. If your chain breaks within 7 days of your appointment due to a welding issue , i’ll gladly re-weld it at no cost. After that period, repairs or rewelds can be done at a small service fee. Please note that lost chains cannot be replaced or refunded.
