Frequently asked questions

  • Permanent jewelry is a custom-fit chain that’s welded directly onto you—meaning there’s no clasp to take on and off. Instead, the chain is safely closed with a quick, painless “zap” that fuses the ends together. The result is a seamless piece designed to be worn every day.

    Think of it as jewelry that becomes part of your lifestyle: lightweight, comfortable, and personal. Many people choose permanent jewelry to mark a special occasion, celebrate a bond, or simply enjoy the ease of a piece that’s always there. At Tesori Collective, we size each chain to you, then secure it in minutes so you leave with a piece that feels effortless and meaningful.

    ✨ Not sure if “permanent” is the right fit? We also offer clasped options that are still custom-sized to you—giving you the same tailored feel with the flexibility to take it on and off whenever you’d like.

  • Permanent jewelry is crafted from carefully selected, high-quality metals chosen for their durability and shine. These pieces are designed to stay with you day after day, becoming part of your lifestyle.

    But “permanent” doesn’t mean forever without choice. If you decide you no longer want to wear it, your chain can be safely cut at the jump ring. You can keep it to be re-welded later or even repurpose it into another custom piece.

    ✨ To make your jewelry last, treat it with love. Like all fine jewelry, it benefits from mindful care—especially after exposure to chemicals, lotions, or pools. A little cleaning helps preserve its beauty and ensures it continues to shine with you.

  • At Tesori Collective, we believe your jewelry should be as lasting as the memories it represents. That’s why we use carefully selected, top-quality metals from highly trusted manufacturers.

    • .925 Sterling Silver — A timeless classic, known for its durability, shine, and nickel-free safety. It’s a beautiful option for everyday wear and a staple in fine jewelry.

    • Gold Filled — Crafted by mechanically bonding a thick layer of real gold (at least 5% of the item’s total weight) to a base metal. Unlike gold plated or cheaper alternatives that tarnish quickly, gold filled offers lasting beauty, resistance to wear, and the look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price. Nickel free, it’s a trusted choice for everyday elegance.

    • 14k Solid Gold — Available through special request and pre-order, for those who want the ultimate in luxury and permanence.

    Each option is chosen to balance beauty, strength, and everyday wear. By sourcing from manufacturers we trust, we ensure your piece isn’t just stylish—it’s crafted to stand the test of time.

  • Permanent jewelry is designed to be worn every day, but like all fine pieces, it benefits from mindful care to keep it shining beautifully.

    💧 Pools, hot tubs, and chemicals
    Chlorine and other chemicals can dull or damage metals over time. If your jewelry is exposed, rinse it with clean water and wash gently with mild soap. Pat dry with a soft cloth to restore its shine.

    🏊 Sports, swimming, and active living
    Your jewelry is designed to move with you—whether you’re swimming, working out, or living an active lifestyle. While it can withstand daily wear, exposure to sweat, chlorine, or heavy friction may dull the finish over time. A quick rinse and gentle cleaning will keep it looking its best.

    🧼 Daily cleaning
    Keeping your piece fresh doesn’t have to be time-consuming—it can even be done right in the shower. A gentle wash with mild soap and water helps prevent buildup from lotions, perfumes, or everyday wear, so your chain stays bright without adding extra steps to your routine.

    Sterling silver care
    Sterling silver naturally stays bright against your skin—your natural oils help maintain its shine. Tarnishing is more common when silver is left exposed to air, as with clasped pieces. In extreme cases of chemical exposure, a polishing cloth or gentle silver cleaner will bring back the brilliance.

    🌟 The Tesori touch
    At Tesori Collective, we care about your experience. Every purchase comes with a polishing cloth and a small brush—perfect for keeping even the daintiest chains clean and sparkling.

  • Absolutely! Permanent jewelry makes a meaningful and memorable gift, and we offer several flexible options to make it easy:

    • Clasped pieces — For gifting, clasped chains are a great choice. They can be sized to an average fit of about 7 inches if premade, or tailored to an exact size if you know it.

    • Custom creations — We can build a one-of-a-kind piece from the chain to the charms, ensuring your gift feels personal and unique.

    • Gift certificates — Let your loved one enjoy the full experience by choosing their chain and having it welded during an appointment.

    • Premade jewelry — Beyond permanent pieces, Tesori Collective offers necklaces, rings, earrings, and more through our online store. These are perfect for gifting when you want something ready to wrap.

    • In-person options — You can find us at local pop-ups, book a private party, or schedule a one-on-one appointment. I’ll bring along whatever you’d like to see so your gift feels curated and special.

    🔧 Sizing adjustments — If a chain ever needs to be taken in, we can do that just as we would a re-weld: $10 fee, or complimentary when you’re purchasing another piece at the same time. Adding length is also an option and can be discussed to ensure the most seamless look.

    At Tesori Collective, gifting is about more than jewelry—it’s about creating a lasting memory. Whether it’s a clasped chain, a certificate, a custom creation, or a premade treasure, we’ll help you give a piece that feels thoughtful, personal, and timeless.

  • Yes! Tesori Collective loves bringing the permanent jewelry experience to you. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, planning a special event, or just want a one-on-one appointment, we make it easy and personal.

    • Private parties — Gather your friends for a unique bonding experience. Parties can be customized through special purchases to fit your theme—whether it’s birthdays, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, or simply a night of sparkle with your closest crew.

    • Private business events — Add a touch of elegance to corporate gatherings or client appreciation events. Jewelry makes a memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression.

    • Pop-ups — Find us at local boutiques, salons, and community events. It’s a fun way to discover new styles and shop in person.

    • One-on-one appointments — Prefer something more personal? Book a private session and I’ll bring along whatever you’d like to see, from chains to charms, so we can design the perfect piece together.

    • Flexibility — Whether it’s a group celebration or a solo appointment, we tailor the experience to fit your style, schedule, and vision.

    At Tesori Collective, we believe jewelry should be more than an accessory—it should be an experience. Parties, pop-ups, and private appointments are all about creating memories while designing pieces that feel uniquely yours.

  • Safety is always our priority. Permanent jewelry involves a quick, painless weld, but because it uses a small spark of heat, we require parental consent for younger clients.

    • Age guidelines — Permanent jewelry is available for ages 12 and up with parent consent. Parent consent will be required for anyone 18 and under.

    • Under 12 — For children younger than 12, we provide a complimentary clasp instead of a weld. This ensures they can still enjoy a beautiful piece without the permanence.

    • Flexibility for families — Parents can choose what feels right for their child, and we’ll guide the process to make sure it’s safe, comfortable, and fun.

    At Tesori Collective, we love creating jewelry that feels personal at every age. Whether it’s a clasped chain for a child, a welded piece for a teen, or a custom creation for an adult, we make sure every experience is safe, memorable, and tailored to you.

  • Yes—permanent jewelry is safe to wear through airport security. The metals we use do not set off alarms, so you can travel worry-free with your piece.

    For medical procedures, your safety always comes first. If a doctor or technician requires your jewelry to be removed, it can be easily cut at the jump ring. The best part? You can keep your chain and schedule a re-weld with us afterward, so your piece continues its story without interruption.

    At Tesori Collective, we want your jewelry to feel effortless in every part of life—whether you’re traveling, working, or undergoing care. Flexibility is built in, so your piece can always be renewed or repurposed when needed.

  • Yes! If you ever need your permanent jewelry re-welded, we’re happy to help.

    • Standard re-welds — $10 fee

    • Our guarantee — If your jump ring breaks at the weld, we’ll re-weld it for free. We always stand behind our work with a 100% guarantee.

    • Adding a new piece — If you’re purchasing another chain during your appointment, your re-weld is complimentary.

    At Tesori Collective, we want your jewelry to feel effortless and lasting. Whether it’s a repair, a refresh, or a new addition, we make sure your piece continues its story with you.

  • While the weld itself is quick and painless, the consent form is required for all clients getting a weld. It’s not about discomfort—it’s about safety, transparency, and giving you peace of mind.

    • Layer of protection — The form ensures you understand the permanence of your jewelry and provides clear care instructions.

    • Potential medical considerations — For example, if you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, electromagnetic interference from certain equipment can sometimes affect its function. While the welding process itself is safe, the form makes sure you’re aware of these considerations and can disclose any medical devices to us beforehand.

    • Convenience built in — The consent form is available online so you can complete it ahead of your appointment or before visiting us at a pop-up.

    • One and done — Once you’ve completed your first consent form, you won’t need to fill it out again for future visits.

    • Care included — The form also provides jewelry care instructions, so you’ll have everything you need in one place.

    At Tesori Collective, your comfort and confidence matter most. The consent form isn’t about adding steps—it’s about protecting you, ensuring transparency, and making sure your jewelry journey starts with clarity and care.
