Permanent Jewelry Training FAQ
How do I start a permanent jewelry business?
Interested in starting a permanent jewelry business, but have some questions? Scroll through these frequently asked questions about the permanent jewelry industry, and feel free to email Two Daisies if you have any other questions!
So… what is permanent jewelry exactly?
Great question! Permanent jewelry is custom-fit jewelry that’s welded (or “zapped”) closed, no clasps, no fuss. A tiny jump ring joins the chain while protective equipment separates the weld from your client’s skin. Think dainty chains that can stay on for months or years and symbolize special moments or just look super cute. It can be removed when your client chooses.
Is it hard to get started?
You don’t need a background in jewelry or welding to start. Once you learn the basics and get the right tools, you’ll be surprised how approachable, and fun, it can be. Take the training at your own pace and give yourself time to practice safely before taking clients.
What do I actually need to get going?
Let’s break it down! To start a permanent jewelry business, you’ll need a few key things:
- A welding machine (this is your magic wand!)
- Chains, jump rings, and other basic materials
- Tools like pliers, wire cutters, and grounding accessories
- Appropriate eye protection and protective equipment for you and your clients
- Business basics like insurance, a payment system, and any required local licensing
- Solid training so you can build your skills and confidence from day one.
My course covers everything step-by-step. To save time sourcing supplies, choose a course kit: Option 2 includes tools and supplies but no welder; Options 3 and 4 include a welder too. Compare the course options.
How much does it cost to start a permanent jewelry biz?
Your startup budget depends on your welder, tools, inventory, insurance, local requirements, and where you plan to work. The online course on its own is $799. Course + kit options start at $1,199 without a welder, $2,701 with a Zapp Plus 2.0 welder, or $4,189 with an Orion mPulse welder. Regulator options and color upgrades cost extra. Budget separately for any additional equipment, business costs, and inventory you need. See the current options and product details.
Do I need a license or any kind of certification for permanent jewelry?
Requirements vary by location and by how you operate. Check with your city, county, state, and insurer before you start; don’t assume a training certificate replaces a required business license or permit. Our training walks you through business foundations, client policies, and insurance so you know what to look into.
How do I find customers?
Oh, this part is fun! You can pop up at salons, boutiques, markets, events, or even host private parties. Instagram and Facebook are great places to show off your work and help local clients find you. In the course, I give you ideas and strategies for all of this, plus Google Business Profile, networking, branding, and physical marketing.
Can I actually make good money doing this?
Permanent jewelry can be an income opportunity, but your results depend on your pricing, materials, expenses, local demand, marketing, and the time you put in. Depending on the chain material and style, artists may charge $45–$200 or more per piece. Work out your costs before setting prices, including your time, fees, event costs, insurance, and overhead. Revenue is not the same as profit, and there’s no guaranteed income or timeline for earning back your investment.
Who is this kind of biz perfect for?
It’s a great option to explore for moms who want something flexible, beauty pros adding a new service, or boutique owners who want something new to offer their customers. If you like making people feel special and want a business that’s creative and fun, you may love this. You don’t need to come from the beauty industry to get started.
