What is permanent jewelry?

Permanent jewelry is a unique jewelry experience where clients pick out a gold filled, rose gold filled, gold plated colored enamel or sterling silver chain, charms and connectors to build a custom piece of jewelry intended for long term wear. After the client chooses the style they want, a spot welder (no flame at all!) is used and the chain is welded together while the client is wearing the piece. It is a super quick and painless process allowing you to effortlessly accessorize!
Is permanent jewelry actually permanent? Like on me forever? Is it removable?

While the name "permanent jewelry" seems like it would be forever, it is not truly permanent. After the jewelry is placed, it can ALWAYS be removed. It is important to care for your jewelry daily, being cautious of everyday activities to avoid snagging and possible breakage. While Locked & Linked ensures quality and durability, the chains are NOT indestructible. If you need your jewelry off for medical purposes (XRays, surgeries, etc) your jewelry can be removed by Locked & Linked for free, or you can remove it at home with scissors or pliers in an emergency, if ever needed. If you do not want to damage the integrity of the jewelry, we suggest you contact us as soon as you would like it off. If you would want your jewelry put back on after it is taken off, there is a $15 rewelding fee. If your jewelry breaks at the weld site within 14 days, Locked & Linked will repair your jewelry for free. After the 14 days, if your jewelry falls off due to snagging or other damage, Locked & Linked will do their best to repair, however, it is not guaranteed. In some cases, repair is not possible. Please contact Locked & Linked and we will assess your situation. If a repair is possible, the client will incur a rewelding fee.
What types of chains do you offer?

At Locked & Linked, we offer 14K gold filled, 14K rose gold filled, sterling silver, and gold plated colored enamel chains.
What is the difference between solid gold, 14K gold filled and gold plated?

Solid gold refers to jewelry that is made entirely of gold, without any other metals or alloys mixed in. It is the most valuable and durable option among the three. 14K gold filled jewelry is made by bonding a layer of 14K gold to a base metal, usually brass or copper, through a mechanical bonding process. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item. This results in a thicker layer of gold compared to gold plated jewelry. 14K gold filled jewelry offers a more affordable alternative to solid gold while still providing a durable and long-lasting option. It has a higher resistance to tarnishing and wear compared to gold plated jewelry. Gold plated jewelry is made by applying a thin layer of gold onto a base metal, such as brass or silver, through an electroplating process. The gold layer is typically thinner than that of gold filled jewelry. In summary, solid gold is the most valuable and durable option, while 14K gold filled offers a more affordable alternative with a thicker layer of gold. Gold plated jewelry is the most budget-friendly option but a step below 14K gold filled. Don't worry though - we hand pick the highest quality materials and inspect everything before offering it to clients. Just because we have some cheaper options, doesn't mean we skimp on quality.
Do your chains tarnish?

Locked & Linked is committed to only offering quality products. While our jewelry is high quality, there is always a risk of your jewelry tarnishing if the jewelry is not properly cared for. Another factor, such as body pH can have an impact on tarnishing risk.
