Permanent Jewelry is a way to pay tribute to meaningful milestones in your life and the special bonds you share with loved ones. It's a beautiful, customized accessory you don’t have to think about putting on every day- you'll always be accessorized! You can stack your pieces and even customize them with unique links & charms!

It's a bracelet, anklet or necklace that doesn't have a typical clasp. Instead, the ends are welded or "zapped" together with intention of not taking it off. A fun, easy & painless experience!

Step 1: Pick a chain. You may also choose connectors and/or charms

Step 2: Your wrist, ankle, or neck is measured

Step 3: The customized chain is welded together

Each piece takes about 10 minutes or so- additional time needed when charms/ connectors are added. It does not hurt or burn, as permanent jewelry is not welded directly to your body. The metal chain is welded together using low level electrical current.

Easily remove your chain by cutting the round welded jumpring with nail clippers or scissors. If you save your chain, I offer complimentary reattachment. *Please consider requesting a CLASP if you intend to remove your jewelry frequently (ie sports, MRI's, upcoming medical procedure, x-rays)

NICKEL FREE & HYPOALLERGENIC:

14K SOLID GOLD - heirloom metal, good for everyday wear, won’t tarnish or "turn", easiest to care for, stays gold forever

14K GOLD-FILLED - 5% gold layer bonded over a brass core, won't tarnish, however, the gold will slowly wear off from excessive saltwater, chlorine, lotion, perfume & harsh chemicals, lasts much longer than "gold plated" or "gold vermeil"

STERLING SILVER - .925 will naturally tarnish from oxygen exposure, saltwater, chlorine, lotion, perfume & harsh chemicals, but tarnish easily washes off

Rinse jewelry with fresh water immediately after being in the pool or ocean to prevent tarnish or corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals when possible (lotions, perfumes, cleaning agents):

1. Wash with Links by Laura Jewelry Cleaner or warm water & soap.
2. Gently dry with a soft cloth. 
3. Use a polish cloth to give it shine.

Chains that are made of thin dainty metal are not invincible & can break if pulled on.

14K Solid Gold & Sterling Silver can last forever if cared for properly! 14K Gold-Filled can last for about 2 years or so with everyday wear & tear, depending on the chain’s thickness and how well it's cared for. 

I ensure the integrity of my weld before your appointment is complete, however there is a 15-day warranty on jumpring welds (does not include broken chain).

Permanent does not mean invincible; this is fine jewelry and it can break. Links by Laura is not responsible for broken chains, lost jewelry, metal sensitivity or allergic reactions, tarnishing or stretching (my metals are NICKEL FREE).
