Permanent Jewellery By Studiokate

What is permanent jewellery?

Permanent jewellery, also known as welded jewellery, is a custom designed piece of jewellery measured and perfectly sized to you. The chain is expertly welded creating  permanent nature of the jewellery. It's intended to always be worn, signifying a memory, to commemorate a special occasion or just to treat yourself to a new piece of beautiful custom designed jewellery.

You can choose from Sterling Silver 925, Gold Filled or Solid Gold chains and charms. Custom created by you and welded to last by Studiokate. 

Can my permanent jewellery be removed if needed?

Absolutely! Your jewellery can be removed by cutting the chain at the jump ring with a pair of sharp scissors.

We offer a warranty so you can get this welded back on for free, so you are not without your jewellery for longer than you have to be.

Absolutely! The welding machine is skilfully operated by a trained jeweller and is an enjoyable experience for our customers! We are also fully insured.

Absolutely! We offer gift vouchers, please contact us to purchase. You will get a physical gift voucher to gift to your loved one.

What is your minimum age?

Our minimum age is 13. Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult who has parental responsibility, the parental guardian must complete an additional waiver. They must sit still during the process. The jeweller reserves the right to say no if the child is unable to sit still and does not feel it is safe to weld the jewellery.

What is Gold Filled jewellery?

Gold filled jewellery is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-quality piece without the solid gold price tag. It consists of a thick layer of gold, typically 5% of the total weight, mechanically bonded to a base metal. This process creates a durable and long lasting piece that can withstand daily wear. Gold filled offers a beautifully radiant finish that assembles solid gold.

Do you use Gold Plated?

We will never use gold plated jewellery pieces, although it can be visually appealing it is not as durable and the Gold Plating can wear off quickly and lead to tarnishing making it not suitable for permanent jewellery. 

We prioritise quality over price which is why we do not offer any gold-plated jewellery so that it can maintain its beauty.

Is the jewellery high quality?

Supplies including chains and charms will only ever be Sterling Silver 925, Gold Filled or Solid Gold to ensure the longevity, beauty and timelessness of our jewellery. We always use trusted, quality suppliers to ensure the quality of our selection. Our suppliers have been tried and tested by the industry for many years so you can trust that the chains and charms you see are of the highest quality.

Can I go through airport security with permanent jewellery?

Absolutely! Fine jewellery, including permanent jewellery is not required to be removed during airport security checks. You can confidently wear your permanent jewellery on all your travel adventures.

Can I get an MRI with a permanent bracelet, anklet, or necklace?
For your safety, it is recommended that you remove your permanent jewellery before having an MRI (Some hospitals require you to remove them and some do not, it is down to the discretion of each hospital). Please save the chain, and we will be happy to re-weld it free of charge for you afterwards.

Who should not get permanent jewellery?

Individuals with pacemakers should avoid getting permanent jewellery due to the welding process. While allergies to solid gold, sterling silver 925, and gold filled are rare, those with known allergies should also refrain from getting permanent jewellery.
