What is permanent jewelry? Also referred to as forever jewelry, endless chain, zapped jewelry, or welded bracelets, permanent jewelry is a unique way to honor any commitment you might be making whether to a loved one or yourself. Looking for a special way to celebrate a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, or anniversary?
How does it work? We offer a limited variety of fine 14k gold chains for you to choose from. You can also choose from our selection of charms which can easily be added. Once we customize the chain length to fit your wrist or ankle, we then connect the two ends with a tiny jump ring and weld it closed. Because it is welded, this means there is noclasp. However, if at any point you decide you no longer wish to wear the bracelet, it can be easily clipped off.
How long does it take? Each appointment is 20 minutes long.
What if I want to bring a friend? Book with your bestie, your babe, or your mama! We can service 2 people in each 20-minute appointment.
If you live in the Chicagoland area and are interested in hosting a private event for a group of 5 or more, please send an email to info@winifredgrace.com
What happens if I miss my appointment? Due to the popularity of our events, if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, or miss your appointment, the booking fee is non-refundable.
Can I reschedule or cancel my appointment? You can reschedule an appointment for a later date at no additional cost, as long as you give us at least 24-hours notice or if you want to cancel a store credit will be issued. We do not offer refunds.
What metals do you offer? We offer all of our chains and add-ons in 14k solid yellow gold. Some of them are available in white and rose as well!
What happens if my bracelet breaks or stretches? If your bracelet breaks, or stretches we can repair it for a fee of $15! If it is broken or stretched beyond repair, you will need to purchase a new bracelet. If you have a permanent bracelet, necklace or anklet from a different store that needs repair, we may be able fix it for you. Email info@winifredgrace.com with a photo and we will let you know if it's possible.
What if I have to remove my bracelet? If at any point you have to remove your jewelry for any reason (MRI, surgery, sports), it can be clipped off with scissors or clippers. And don't worry, we can always weld it back on for our $15 spot-welding fee.
Is it dangerous? NO! We use a high-quality arc welding machine and an experienced welder to perform the service. Unlike soldering, there is no flame, just a teeny-tiny spark.
Is there an age requirement? This procedure is safe for anyone 12 and older.
Where is the service performed? Love Linked takes place at our brick & mortar boutique, Winifred Grace 5632 N. Clark Street in Chicago, just a few miles North of Wrigley Field.
