weld(ed)

jewelry for a life well lived

"Permanent jewelry, (also referred to as permanent bracelets, forever bracelets or welded jewelry) is to me, an option to celebrate, signify, commemorate events, show a bond with someone you love - a bestie, mom, daughter, sister, friend, anyone! - memorialize, honor events, treat yourself - for a moment in your life, similar to a tattoo or piercing. And while it is technically called "permanent" - it can be removed should you need or desire to remove it.

I knew I wanted to offer high-quality pieces - something that truly could be worn and lived in. After all, this is Weld(ed) - jewelry for a life well lived."

what metals do you use?

we've partnered with fine jewelry chain suppliers to get the best quality for you. Our chains are 14k gold filled, 14k rose gold filled, and .925 sterling silver.

what is gold filled?

it's a layer of solid gold bonded to a base metal like sterling silver, making it more durable than pure gold, and has a significantly better price point.

can i wear it through TSA?

Yes! Think of any other jewelry you wear through security - they don't make you take off wedding rings, watches, etc. Forever jewelry is the same thing.

does the weld hurt?

goodness no! We place a patch of leather between your skin and the jewelry to weld, and the zap is tiny!

what if I don't want it permenently welded?

we get it! which is why we offer clasps for a small fee if that's the route you want to do!

what happens if i have to get an MRI or xrays?

if asked you to remove it, simply cut it off at the weld if possible, and bring it back for a reweld!

can I watch the welding?

of course! We supply welding glasses for you to watch without any damage to your eyes.

do you take walk-ins?

we do not currently take walk ins, however we will be looking to do so in the future.

can I bring my own chain?

at this time, no. We can't guarantee the integrity of metal and quality of the piece.

what happens if my permanent jewelry breaks?

we test the integrity of the weld before you leave, but things do happen. Our jewelry is designed to last, but its not entirely unbreakable.
if the jewelry comes apart within 14 days of your appointment, we will reweld at no charge, simply bring the piece back in, and we will reweld! If its after 14 days, there is a $5 reweld fee.

Amber Budd Atelier and weld(ed) are not responsible for lost jewelry.

what styles of permanent jewelry do you offer?

we currently offer permanent bracelets, permanent anklets and permanent necklaces.

we keep a stock of chains and charms available to choose from at your appointment.

do you do custom design work still?

absolutely! While most people wanting permanent bracelets and similar permanent jewelry love the chains and styles we stock, sometime people want something more specific, and I'm happy to work with you to create something or I can put you in touch with my jeweler!
