How to Start Your Own Permanent Jewelry Business
Permanent jewelry is more than a trend — it’s a movement. These seamless, clasp-free bracelets, necklaces, and anklets offer a unique, lasting accessory that people love. If you’re ready to turn this passion into a business, here’s how to get started.
Step 1: Understand Your Market
Target clients who value personalization, meaningful gifts, and unique accessories. Couples, best friends, and trendsetters are your main audience. Decide which styles and metals resonate with your customers.
Step 2: Invest in Essential Equipment
Your tools are the backbone of your business:
- Jewelry Welding Machine – TIG or spot welders like Sunstone machines are perfect for delicate chains.
- Safety Gear – Welding goggles, gloves, and a safe workspace are essential.
- Jewelry Tools – Pliers, mandrels, chain cutters, and ring sizers.
- Materials – 14k or 18k gold, sterling silver, and gold-filled chains.
Step 3: Learn the Craft
Practice makes perfect. Weld on spare chains and metals until you can create smooth, seamless joins. Online tutorials or short courses can accelerate your learning.
Step 4: Build Your Business
- Business Structure – Choose sole proprietor, LLC, or other entity.
- Pricing – Factor in materials, labor, and profit margin.
- Marketing – Instagram, TikTok, and pop-up events are ideal platforms to showcase your craft.
Step 5: Create a Memorable Experience
Permanent jewelry isn’t just a product — it’s an experience. Offer:
- Personalized charms or engravings.
- Comfortable, inviting appointments.
- Quick and professional service.
Step 6: Scale Your Business
- Collaborate with influencers or boutiques.
- Host workshops to teach others — another revenue stream.
