PERMANENT JEWELLERY FAQ's
What is Bonded permanent jewellery?
Bonded is our range of permanent jewellery that celebrates special moments and connections in life. Permanent jewellery is a type of jewellery where a chain is uniquely fitted onto your body to create a seamless welded piece. Unlike traditional bracelets or necklaces, there is no clasp needed. This type of jewellery is highly symbolic as a continuous chain with no beginning or end. It is becoming more popular as people use it to celebrate special relationships or commemorate important occasions.

We are excited to be opening our new studio shop soon in Slaithwaite, Huddersfield. Join the waitlist here to stay in the loop and be notified of opening date and offers.
Is permanent jewellery safe?
Yes absolutely. We use a high quality precision welding machine specifically developed for permanent jewellery. A welding spark with a very low electrical charge fuses a link onto the chain, around your body and not on your skin. There is a bright flash from the welding. We provide you with safety glasses to protect your eyes and a patch to protect your skin. We have over 20 years experience making jewellery and have completed professional ABT accredited courses where we have learned to weld safely.
We do advise that permanent jewellery is not suitable for individuals with heart conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider before booking.
What if I want it to be removed?
We understand there will be occasions that your permanent jewellery will need to be removed. Simply contact us and we can remove it for you, and we can weld it back on at a later date. If you are wanting to remove it yourself, the welding site can be cut with a sharp pair of scissors. Alternatively we can add a clasp so you can wear it more easily.
If possible, please store any loose chain away from dust and light, in a small sealable plastic bag or box so as prevent tarnishing.
Can I play sports with permanent jewellery?
Normally fine chains are used for welded jewellery which can still break like any chain when pulled. We would recommend having a clasp so your jewellery can be easily removed for sports.
Can I wear it whilst swimming?
You can wear it in the sea or swimming pool, although there is the possibility that silver will tarnish with the salt and chlorine in the water. We recommend rinsing it in water straight after. Any tarnishing can usually be removed with warm soapy water or an anti-tarnish polishing cloth. Solid gold would be a better option.
Can I wear it through the airport?
Yes you can as precious metal chains are made from sterling silver and solid gold which are not magnetic so therefore do not set off the security alarms.
What if my permanent jewellery breaks?
Whilst the chains are welded to last a long time, and will be durable with proper care taken, they are not indestructible. We offer a 6 month warranty on the weld point itself for permanent jewellery that has been purchased with us. If the chain has broken due to a fault with the weld, we will not charge for rewelding the piece. However if the break is in the chain links, then there will be a small charge or replacement cost for the chain. The complimentary repair service is valid within 6 months of your purchase.
Please note we are not responsible for any lost pieces of jewellery
Is there an age limit for permanent jewellery?
Due to insurance restrictions, we are unable to offer seamless welded jewellery to individuals under the age of 18. However, we can create a beautiful custom piece with a clasp that can be upgraded to a seamless weld once they turn 18.
We kindly ask that you only book this service for a minor if they're getting a clasped piece or a custom ring. Please note that under 18 year olds need to be accompanied by an adult. Thank you for your understanding.
Can I purchase the experience as a gift?
Yes absolutely, we offer gift vouchers which can be redeemed against any of our pieces. Please email us here to purchase.
Can I return my welded jewellery?
As this is a personalised piece of jewellery custom fitted to you, we are unable to offer refunds for welded jewellery. If you have any questions, send us a message here or email contact@marialau.co.uk with the subject ‘Bonded’
