Your Next Favorite Piece of Jewelry
Gainesville’s first and original permanent jewelry boutique- trusted since 2022.
What is permanent jewelry?
Simply jewelry without a clasp!
Pick your chain, customize it with charm connectors, and we’ll custom fit it right on your wrist then zap it closed with our welder.
No clasp. No taking it on and off. No fuss.
You literally watch it happen. And yes, the zap is the best part.
Perfect for: treating yourself, matching with your best friend, mom and daughter moments, marking a milestone, or honestly just because you deserve it.
More Than a
Chain
We’re not your average permanent jewelry studio. We source high-quality materials from trusted suppliers, because what’s touching your skin every single day matters.
Much of our collection is handcrafted by women artisans, including a silversmith out of Arizona and our Mama Makers line, made by stay-at-home moms in Colorado. When you choose us, you’re supporting women supporting women.
We also carry styles you won’t find just anywhere. Beyond basic chains, we offer bangles, rangles (a bangle for your finger), and beaded glow-ups (half chain, half beaded - totally addictive) for anyone looking for something a little more unique.
Whether it’s your first piece or your next one, we’d love to help you find it.

Bracelets start at $60 and go up to $200 — most clients spend between $75–$125. Check our socials for current chain and charm offerings. All inventory is first come, first serve and may not restock.

We’re in Gainesville, FL — just behind the Fresh Market Plaza and Thornbrook Village off 41st St. Look for the brown brick wall. We share a parking lot with Education Station Preschool!

We do not offer gold-plated jewelry.
Our most popular options are 14K Gold-Filled, Sterling Silver .925, and Ion-Plated Stainless Steel — all made to be lived in. With normal wear, chains typically last 2–3+ years. In some cases, jewelry may need to be replaced sooner.
We also carry a selection of 14K Solid Gold for a longer-lasting piece.
-
Our jewelry is made with PVD stainless steel, 14k gold filled, sterling silver, and solid gold — all tarnish-resistant metals built to last. With proper care, they hold up beautifully.
To keep them looking their best: rinse after beach or pool exposure, avoid harsh chemicals, and wash occasionally with Dawn dish soap. We also carry jewelry cleaners in studio!
A few things outside our control: High skin acidity, sulfur in water, or pH imbalance can cause gold to wear faster, this is rare but can happen. Sterling silver may oxidize and turn dark from chlorine exposure, but it will shine back up over time. Come in and we’ll clean it for you!If you ever have any concerns about your jewelry, don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we’re always happy to help!

50+ chain styles plus a wide variety of connectors — birthstones, letters, pearls, and more.

Permanent jewelry is designed to break under pressure for your safety. We offer complimentary re-welds for pieces still in good condition or removed for medical reasons. If it breaks repeatedly, we can add a clasp instead.
-
No problem! The chain can be cut off using scissors or nail clippers— the best spot is right at the weld (the small soldered point on the chain). We’ll show you exactly where during your visit. Keep the chain somewhere safe and come back — we’ll re-weld it for you!
-
All sales are final due to custom fit. That said, we’re always happy to add a clasp so you can keep and enjoy your jewelry!

All sales are final on permanent jewelry. We stand behind our welds — if you experience any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and we’ll do our best to take care of you.
