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.

Thankyou so much for sharing all your tips! I really appreciate it!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
So much excellent information!
Thank you! Glad you found it useful.
i love how you explain things. Can you do a video explaining the differences between micro welding and soldering?
ooo - that's a great idea. I will add this to my list. I have a running list of videos to make. I only do this on the weekends. I have a full time job - I wholesale premium jewelry components, especially gold, gold filled and Italian silver chains and charms for permanent jewelry. I bought the machine a few years back to weld jewelry - way before permanent jewelry was a thing. I just love the machine and whenever people asked about the same questions about the machine, I'd make a video to answer. It all takes time and I do everything myself - tiring but I love my little machine. Anyway, I appreciate people supporting me by watching and liking, and if ever they want genuine, high quality chains and at really good prices, to consider buying them from us.
Love the idea of this...
Thank you - there are many possibilities and lots of fun.
@@stonesandfindings You're Welcome!
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?
The needle is called an electrode. I have a video called electrode care. You don't need to change it often and I've been welding with the same one for over a year. You can use a nail file if you don't have a sanding disc.
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?
THank you for the compliment!!! If you're referring to gold filled, the best is 3mm 24 ga. They are easy to use and inconspicuous. The product code for GF is FJ12G.
For sterling silver, 3mm 22 ga (silver is softer than gf). Product code is FJ00S.
If you have any trouble finding anything, feel free to email sales@stonesandfindings.com for faster reply.
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
It holds up perfectly if you do it correctly!! It literally melts both ends of the chain together. My daughter's bracelet with the pearl finally broke - she had it caught on a door handle when she was rushing and ripped it off. It did not break at the joint, but broke elsewhere!
Would love to see the jump ring used for the chunky ring shown in this video!
I shot the full video of the chunky ring being made. I think I did a close up of it. Looked awesome and fit perfectly.
@@stonesandfindings yes I saw that afterwards! Thank you so much!
Love this video! What brand machine do you use to weld the jewelry?
THanks! I used the Orion mPulse to weld this.
When you place charms on the bracelet do you do weld them or just use jump rings thank you
I use a jump ring and then weld the jump ring
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?
no you shouldn't feel the shock. I have tried it when I forgot to put on the leather. But again, only for Sunstone welders - I have no experience with other makers.
Does it have to be removed when getting a medical MRI?
yes! So, you can go get the chain cut and have a lobster clasp added on to it.
What if you have to have surgery or mri or scan. You cant wear jewelry...
You cannot wear it during MRI. For surgery, you can wear it (I know this because a customer told me). However, you can cut it and then weld it again. Oh, also if you get arrested, they cut it off (and yes, a customer who does PJ told me about this, too. Underage drinking in the States - serious stuff, LOL).
This is the deal-breaker. Thank you
What happens when you gain too much weight
LOL - great you're planning for that. However, as a supportive and positive person, I would say you can also try to lose the weight ;). This might be a litmus for weight loss - if you feel it tightening, it is time to lose weight!!!!
