Making the Most of Your Xuron® Tools
Welcome to our new “Around the World” Maker Series, where we feature jewelers, model hobbyists, and makers of all types from around the globe. What do they all have in common? They all use Xuron® tools!
Our first featured Maker is Aran Testa, aka Jungle Silversmith. She is a jungle-living metalsmith inspired by nature who lives in Brunei, Borneo. We asked her a few questions in a short interview that we’ll share with you below.

Hello, jewelry aficionados! Today, we’re delving into an exciting niche in the world of adornments – permanent jewelry, or as it’s also known, welded, flash, fused, or infinity jewelry. This jewelry is custom-fitted to the customer’s wrist, ankle, neck, or finger. They choose the chain, a connector, and any charms they’d like from your collection, and then the ends are permanently welded, creating a seamless chain.
Permanent jewelry offers a whole new level of permanence and commitment. It’s not just another accessory you put on and take off at will. Once it’s on, it’s meant to stay on, becoming a part of your style for as long as you like.
Creating permanent jewelry requires precision, skill, and, of course, the right set of tools. That’s where Xuron® comes in. With our range of high-quality, durable, and user-friendly tools, crafting welded jewelry is an enjoyable creative process.
