Permanent jewelry is custom-fit jewelry that is welded together instead of secured with a traditional clasp. The result is a seamless bracelet, anklet, necklace, ring, or hand chain designed to be worn every day.
At The Greenville Spark, we measure each piece to fit you perfectly, then use a specialized jewelry welder to safely connect the ends with a tiny jump ring. The process takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.
Despite the name, permanent jewelry is not meant to last forever. It is designed for long-term wear but can be removed if needed by simply cutting the jump ring with nail clippers, kitchen scissors, or wire cutters. If you ever need it removed, we're happy to do it for you at no charge.
We offer permanent jewelry in quality materials made for everyday wear, including gold filled, sterling silver, and solid gold. These metals are chosen for their durability, beauty, and ability to hold up to daily life.
Many people choose permanent jewelry to celebrate friendships, relationships, milestones, motherhood, graduations, or simply because they love having a piece of jewelry they never have to take off.

If you need to remove your chain for any reason do not fret! Simply cut it off at the jump ring and save the chain, then when you are ready we are happy to re-weld it back on for you.

We ensure the integrity of our weld before you leave the chair. However, permanent does not mean invincible and things do happen!
