Top Xuron® Tools and Resources for a Successful Permanent Jewelry Business.

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.
