Your Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Linked in Style

Getting welded is more than just a jewelry appointment — it’s a vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big, starting a new tradition, or just ready to treat yourself, we want you to feel confident from the first click to the final spark. Here’s exactly what to expect when you book with Pretty Pickie.

What Is Permanent Jewelry, Really?

It’s simple: a dainty chain, custom-fit to your wrist, ankle, or neck, and welded closed with no clasp. Once it’s on, it stays on — through showers, workouts, brunches, beach days, and beyond. Our pieces are made from tarnish-resistant materials like 14k gold-filled and sterling silver, so they’re built for everyday shine.

Before You Arrive

Here’s how to prep so your appointment is smooth, sparkly, and stress-free:

• Come with clean skin. No lotion, perfume, or body oils where your chain will sit. A clean area helps ensure a safe, seamless weld.
• Wear easy access clothing. If you’re getting a bracelet, short sleeves are perfect. For anklets, wear pants you can roll up easily.

Your Appointment, Step-by-Step

Most sessions take about 15–20 minutes. Think of it as a boutique-style beauty ritual with a permanent payoff:

• Pick your chain. Browse our curated selection — from subtle and minimalist to bold, layered energy. We’ll walk you through the differences.
• Custom fit. We’ll measure your wrist, ankle, or neck to get that perfect not-too-tight, not-too-loose fit.
• The weld. One quick spark seals the chain. You’ll hear a pop — and just like that, you’re linked.
• Final check. We make sure you’re totally happy with the fit, look, and placement before you walk out shining.

Aftercare Tips

Your new piece is built to last, but a little love goes a long way:

• Gently clean with mild soap and water when needed
• Avoid harsh chemicals (especially chlorine or strong cleaning sprays)
• Come back anytime for a quick sizing adjustment if it ever feels too snug or loose

Can It Be Removed?

Yes — while it’s designed to stay put, permanent jewelry isn’t forever forever. It can be safely removed by a jeweler using wire cutters at the weld point. Some people choose to save the chain as a keepsake, while others come back to have it re-welded later.

Final Thoughts

Your appointment isn’t just about jewelry — it’s about creating a moment. Whether you’re going solo, bringing your best friend, or making it a birthday tradition, we’re here to make sure it feels special from start to sparkle.
