Permanent Jewelry FAQ
What is permanent jewelry?
Permanent jewelry is jewelry that is custom fit to your body and welded or zapped on with a micro spot welder. Traditionally this means that there is no clasp and you don’t have to take the jewelry off daily. If there comes a time that you need or want to remove your jewelry piece, all you need to do is snip it off at the jump ring where we welded it and if you would like us to reattach it in the future, we will be able to.
How much does it cost?
Sterling silver chain starts at $9/inch and gold filled chain starts at $12.50/inch. Our sterling silver and gold filled charms and clasps start at $20 a piece.
How do I book an appointment?
There is a booking fee of $25/pp to reserve your spot for a private appointment however this deposit is credited in full towards your permanent jewelry choice the day off! The booking fee is refundable as long as a 24 hour cancellation is provided (48 hour notice for groups of 5 or more) otherwise the booking fee is waived.
Where can I get permanent jewelry with you?
We have pop up events throughout southern Maine and you can also request an in person private appointment (with a minimum of 4 people).
What is the age requirement to get permanent jewelry?
Clients must be 12 years or older to get welded and need a written permission and to be supervised by their Gaurdian for the duration of the appointment. Permanent jewelry is not well-suited for growing children as they can constrict and thus note our warranty does not cover jewelry that is outgrown.
I had to take off my permanent jewelry, can I get it re-attached?
Yes, we sure can as long as you cut the piece of jewelry at the welded jump ring. We would be happy to re-spark your original Gem Lounge Jewelry permanent jewelry for a fee of $25. Please note, we do not cover the cost of lost or stretched out jewelry. Permanent jewelry needs to be removed when you go in for an MRI so be sure to cut on the welded jump ring and we will be able to re-weld.
Does permanent jewelry hurt?
Not at all, we use protection between your skin as an extra precaution.
How long will my jewelry last?
As the jewelry is welded on, the jewelry is permanent until you decide to remove it. Keep in mind that nothing is truly permanent in that you have to take into account the lifestyle that you lead too. While we provide high-quality chain and charms, nothing is indestructable so you still need to take care of your jewelry and be aware of your surroundings.
How long does it take?
Appointments come in 15 minute sessions. We cannot accommodate late arrivals so please make sure to arrive on time for your appointment as cancellations and rescheduling needs to be made at least 24 hours in advance (and 48 hours in advance for groups of 5+).

I have a pacemaker, can I get a permanent jewelry piece?
