Permanent jewelry — a clasp-free chain welded around your wrist, ankle or neck — is offered by jewelry stores, studios and pop-up artists, and a map search does not tell you who does it. Every business in this list names permanent or welded jewelry in its business name, listing or on its own website.

Ask about the metal. Solid 14K gold and sterling silver last for years; gold-filled chains cost less but can wear over time. The weld is quick and should not hurt — if the chain ever needs to come off, it can be cut at the jump ring and often rewelded later.
Common questions
How is permanent jewelry put on?
The chain is sized to your wrist, ankle or neck and the ends are joined with a small jump ring that is welded shut with a micro welder. There is no clasp, and a leather patch protects the skin during the weld.
Can permanent jewelry be removed?
Yes — it can be cut at the jump ring with scissors or pliers, for example before an MRI or surgery. Many studios will reweld the same chain later for a small fee.
