1. What is Permanent Jewelry? Why and how it works - Free Permanent Jewelry Training

In this video, I will attempt to provide a thorough explanation as to what is Permanent Jewelry (first popularized by the permanent bracelet or forever bracelet) and what is behind this phenomenal craze!

Permanent jewelry is jewelry that has no clasp; it is welded closed right on the body.  Think extreme fashion show - they need an exact fit, so the garments are stitched right onto the body.  The only way for it to come off is if you cut it off!

Why?
It is an artistic form of self expression, with a bit more commitment, which in itself is a personal statement - it adds a higher level of meaning.  Think of it as a tattoo, but a lot less painful and certainly less expensive.  It is also something to bond over, a reminder of friendship, love and relationship. 

That is why it has been so popular for groups (clubs, sorority, wedding parties, groups of friends commemorating a special event/time, mother/daughter and sisters bracelets...).  It isn't just for women; it has become highly popular with men as well.  

It is not hard to add a clasp when the customer is ready to cut the bracelet off.  It can be a fun event, like when the goal has been reached (the fiances are married, the student has graduated or finished a gruelling course, when the baby is born and the mother can then cut the bracelet and turn it into a baby bracelet for child as a keepsake).  There are so many fascinating and endearing ways for permanent jewelry to add to our lives.

How?This was never before possible because you cannot solder close to the body; a flame strong enough to melt metal will only turn skin crispy.  However, the engineers at Sunstone Engineering developed the Orion micro welder that uses arc pulse technology.  A current of electricity is run from the needle thin electrode to the grounding clip, enabling it to fuse two pieces of touching metal, or a jump ring whose ends are touching.
What are your thoughts?  I'd love to hear how you would personalize yours and what would give you more meaning.

i love how you explain things. Can you do a video explaining the differences between micro welding and soldering?

[ammopig]

Thankyou so much for sharing all your tips! I really appreciate it!

When you place charms on the bracelet do you do weld them or just use jump rings thank you

[IMOO]

Does it have to be removed when getting a medical MRI?

[mcapm]

I have a question. My daughter is just beginning this work and I'd like to know if when using the welder, your skin touches the earthed crocodile clip, would you be electrically shocked?

[ErikaWhitmore-cewl]

Love this video! What brand machine do you use to weld the jewelry?

[rachelburke-cmdm]

What if you have to have surgery or mri or scan. You cant wear jewelry...

[jengerhold]

hello! love this! Can you do a video explaining how often you need to change the needle in the welder? Do we need a tool to file down the needle as well?

[texasmarshalls]

Love your videos and explanations! I am interested in buying some of your chains and jump rings. What size jump ring is recommended for these tiny permanent bracelets so they don’t stand out?

[tamicromar]

That is cool you can weld chain to chain esp when the chain is so small for my eyes lol, how has it held up thank you

[brokket]

Would love to see the jump ring used for the chunky ring shown in this video!
