- In this video, I share the latest trends and ideas for permanent jewelry.
I taught this course at the recent Permanent Jewelry Expo (PJX) in Las Vegas.
The Permanent Jewelry industry is growing fast and furiously, with many new components and trends coming onto the market. This video is a fun slideshow of creative permanent jewelry ideas emerging from both established and new markets. I discuss the appeal of each of these trends and hope to ignite your creativity. If you have other ideas that have worked, or if you have feedback, please share it in the comments below - the community would love to read it!!!
My thoughts:
If we understand the appeal of permanent jewelry, we will better understand how it is evolving and be better able to predict where it will go.
The appeal:
Permanence - with so much change all around us, especially recently, we have seen a movement towards permanence. We are drawn to constancy, but even before Covid and tumultuous changes in our lives in rapid fire, there was already a decade of tattoos gaining popularity and becoming mainstream.
Commitment - it’s about commitment. With so many disposable things and disposable ideas and changing emotions, people are looking for commitment. They are signalling their own commitment - be it a tattooed design or words or phrases.
Self-Expression - This has always been a part of human nature, since the beginning of time. This is the core of fashion, beauty, art, the internet and social media. It is a part of every person and anything that is a platform for self-expression will be highly valued.
Inspiration - something we often have trouble articulating, but it plays a very important role in our well-being, growth and mental health is inspiration. Whether it is aspiring to be like our role model/idol or setting goals for ourselves to be the best version of ourselves, anything that reminds ourselves of that goal, will give us energy to move forward. Any talisman that can provide this inspiration will be highly valued and sought after.
Permanent Jewelry fits the bill Perfectly because it provides:
Elevated level of permanence
Symbol of our commitment
Creative platform for self-expression
Many use it as a reminder of their inspiration

You're so welcome! Thank you for watching and for this note!
Love the quilt bracelet idea. Very unique to the individual snd your work as a permanent jewelry technician.
Thank you so much!
This was awesome!
Thank you for watching and note of encouragement!
I can listen/ learn from you all day. Thank you
Your message has made my week!!! Thank you - I have always hated the sound of my own voice and feeling really awkward, even though I have great ideas I want to share. in the recent years, I decided to just accept and like myself the way I am! It's not been easy and far scarier than cliff jumping. So, thank you for this!
This was an amazing video... Thanks for all the ideas!!
You're so welcome. Thank you for watching and for this note!
thanks for sharing! do you have any videos or tips for layered charms?
I don't think there is much of a video to make cuz the one tip is: More the Better!!!! I must have 7 on my stack of 17 chains. I love them and each mean something special to me - more and more people are doing this. Instead of tattoos, they're collecting permanent jewelry momentos
Yes! I’m adding my PMJ to my business here on the Big Island🥰Your ideas and videos are so helpful. Thank you!
You are so welcome! And I love the Big Island!!!!! Stayed at Hilo, drove all over the island and it was magical. I am so glad you're doing this. By the way, we ship to the Big Island - components for $5 for a one pound package, tracked with USPS. Welder is dropped shipped directly from Sunstone.

@@stonesandfindings it’s amazing here! I’m Waikoloa area north of Kona.
Thank you for the information. I received my welder from Sunstone! I will be purchasing some items from you.😊
Any concern for the safety of thicker chain, ie. getting caught and not breaking off the wrist causing harm in an accident?
Certain activities and professions ban all jewelry while doing the activity for safety reasons - varsity sports, certain machine operators, EMS workers. One must use your own judgement the lifestyle they lead.
I currently have just over a dozen bracelets on my left hand (I'm right handed), including a very thick chain, and I don't get them caught on things. Whereas, each one of my daughters have broken a bracelet each by snagging onto a door handle, bicycle break handle, sleeve button. They break and lose all sorts of things. So, for people like them, I would offer to not weld it shut, but to use a thicker OPEN jump ring and close it. It won't open by it's own, but if it ever got caught on something moving, the jump ring will open.
This is actually a great idea for a video, using a pull scale to test thick jump ring strength - thank you!
Is the idea of ring to stay on permanently below the knuckle? Or just to be tight enough to slip on and off like a regular ring but with the look of chain. Fingers swell so much!
If you are like me and have big knuckles, you can have them fitting under the knuckle - but just not tightly. Yes, we swell as much as 1 size during the summer. But if you want to slip it off, you can simply weld over the knuckle to ensure it come off. It really depends on the hand size. Chain rings can give perfect desired fit.
Can you share the size of the paperclip chain toe ring?
