FAQ

A fine chain fitted to your wrist, ankle, or neck and joined with a tiny weld, so there is no clasp to fumble with and nothing to take off at night. "Permanent" describes how it stays on rather than how long it must: when you're ready, it can be removed.

Your chain is sized around you, and a small closing link is joined with a brief spark from a precision welder while a protective barrier sits between the chain and your skin. Most people feel nothing beyond a flicker of warmth, and the whole thing takes a few minutes.

We fit permanent jewelry in three metals: gold, gold-plated, and silver. Each one wears a little differently, so it helps to choose with your skin and your habits in mind.

Solid gold is the one we'd point you to first if your skin is sensitive. It doesn't tarnish, it holds up to showers and sleep, and the higher the karat, the less of other metals it contains to irritate the skin. It costs the most, and it's the chain most people keep for years.

Sterling silver is a clean, bright choice at a gentler price, and most people wear it without any trouble. It is mixed with a small amount of other metal for strength, and it darkens over time with daily wear, so it likes an occasional polish with a soft cloth. If you've reacted to jewelry before, tell us at your fitting and we'll help you choose.

Gold-plated chains give you the look of gold at the most approachable price. A thin layer of gold sits over another metal, and that layer softens with time, water, and lotion. For anyone with a known metal sensitivity, we'd steer you toward solid gold or silver instead, because the metal beneath the plating can show through as it wears.

If you're not sure which suits you, bring your questions to the fitting and we'll talk through it before anything is welded. A chain should feel like yours from the first day.

Our chains cost between 90$ and 285$ for 6 inches

Cut it with a small pair of scissors or clippers, or come back to the boutique for a clean removal.

Metal jewelry is usually removed before an MRI or surgery, and a chain can be snipped in seconds when a medical team asks. Airport scanners generally pass fine jewelry through without trouble. This one is worth checking with a physician for individual cases.

Care depends on the metal. Gold-filled and solid gold hold up well to daily wear, while sterling silver may darken and want an occasional polish.

Walk-ins are welcome, but we do recommend booking an appointment to ensure that you are served as quickly as possible. Many people come as a pair or a small group to get matching chains, and it makes a good ritual for a birthday, a milestone, or a sister's visit to Toronto.

Yes. Clients often begin with one chain and return to layer another, and a chain can be lengthened, restyled, or joined by a charm as the story grows.

Showering and sleeping are fine in all three metals. Solid gold and silver also handle everyday water without complaint, and you can keep either on through the shower, the gym, and the night.

Gold-plated chains can also be worn in the shower and to bed, but they last longest when you go easy on them. Water, sweat, and lotion wear the gold layer down more quickly than they wear down solid metal, so a plated chain that gets soaked every day will show its age sooner.

Swimming is where the metals part ways. Chlorine, hot tubs, and salt water are hard on every kind of jewelry, and hardest on plating and silver, which can dull or darken after long soaks. If you swim often, solid gold is the safest choice. Otherwise, rinse your chain with fresh water afterward and pat it dry.

Keep harsh cleaners, bleach, and heavy perfumes or lotions away from the chain. A soft cloth is all it needs to stay bright.
