welcome to the grown up friendship bracelet, the alternative wedding jewelry, the "better than a promise ring," the new BFF necklace...
In the most basic terms..."permanent" jewelry are bracelets, anklets and necklaces that have no clasp. They're "permanent" in that you can not take them off daily. But what if you need or want to remove your jewelry? No problem...just snip the welded or wire wrapped link and return to us with the chain and charms/gems when you'd like it to be reattached. Powder Mill Studio creates custom permanent jewelry designs "while you wait." Come in with an idea, leave wearing a quality custom piece that'll stay in place as long as you'd like. With so many variations and styles to choose or combine, we can accomodate the dainty (a thin chain with a single tiny sparkle), to the gaudy (let's layer and bling it up, baby!). We can also accommodate a higher level of customization, with notice, if you have something in particular in mind...we can make custom charms (names, dates, symbols, shapes...whatever your heart desires) or create that 14k gold claspless chain with a floating diamond solitaire if you're ready to really treat yo'self.
the steps
1)Browse the Bracelet Bar and choose a sterling silver or gold fill chain you love. If you'd like to go high end, we can provide you with gold or platinum chain as well...just contact us before your visit.
2)Browse the charm and connector offerings (including Powder Mill Studio handmade exclusives! This isn't your esthetician's permanent jewelry!) and decide how/if you'd like to adorn your chain.
3)We will then size the chain to your body and weld it painlessly (seriously! You're never in danger and don't feel a thing...it takes .66 seconds and only the metal "feels" it!), or wire wrap it depending on your chosen design around your wrist, ankle or neck. Wahlah!
Commemorate your family with birthstone charms, your inner peace and mindfulness with a lotus, your love with matching infinity symbols or initials, your graduation with a graduation year...the designs and reasons are endless. Contact us for an appointment today! Our studio address and directions are shared upon appointment confirmation.

please note: Upon arrival there is a waiver to be signed for anyone wishing to design permanent jewelry. Anyone over the age of 10 can be adorned, with their parents' permission. Appointments can take 20-60 mins per person, depending on the complexity and amount of designs each client is designing. The studio is relatively accessible, there are no stairs and wide doors. There is a small amount of grass and gravel in front of the doors. Please note that there is no bathroom; there is a Dunkin' Donuts close by. Your permanent jewelry is a-ok to go through airport security with. Sometimes medical procedures, such as surgery or an MRI, will require you to remove all jewelry, other times the jewelry can be taped or covered instead of removed. If you must remove it, it is best to snip it where the original weld was performed, or at a wire wrap. You can then contact to Powder Mill Studio to schedule a reattachment. We stock an assortment of sterling silver and gold fill chain selections, as well as charms and gems. The variety is ever changing but there is always something you'll love. If you have an itch that'll take a particular chain, metal (including 14K golds and platinum), gem or charm to scratch just reach out and we most likely can satisfy! Follow us on social to see new offerings as they are introduced...we can always add or swap charms for you!
