The holiday season is officially here, and if you’re looking for a meaningful, personal, luxury-feeling gift that isn’t another candle or sweater… you’re in the right place. Permanent jewelry has become the must-have holiday experience in Rhode Island — and for good reason.

Whether you’re gifting someone special or planning a best-friend date over the holiday break, here’s why permanent jewelry is the moment… and why December appointments fill quickly every year (especially with the studio closed until December 1).

✨ 1. It’s Personal — No Guessing Sizes Required

Permanent jewelry is custom-fit during your appointment, which means:

No guessing wrist sizes
No worrying about necklace length
No returns
No stress

Just a perfect, meaningful gift that feels special.

✨ 2. It’s Experience + Gift All in One

Permanent jewelry isn’t just a piece of jewelry — it’s a moment.

You choose your chain, I custom-fit it to you, we weld it on with a tiny sparkle, and you leave with a memory you’ll keep forever.

It’s the perfect holiday outing for:

Best friends
Sisters
Moms and daughters
Couples
College students home for break
Holiday visitors
Anyone who loves meaningful jewelry

Nothing beats gifting an experience and jewelry at the same time.

✨ 3. Minimalist, Timeless, and Everyday-Friendly

No matter someone’s style — classic, modern, edgy, cozy, minimalist — permanent jewelry fits effortlessly.

My metals include:

💛 14K Gold

✨ Gold-Filled

🤍 Sterling Silver

All durable, lightweight, shower-friendly, winter-glove-friendly, and perfect for everyday wear.

✨ 4. Shockingly Durable (Even in New England Winters)

Between:

holiday travel
snow
gloves
hot yoga
work
parenting
daily life

High-quality welded jewelry holds up beautifully. And if something ever happens, I offer quick repairs for peace of mind.

✨ 5. December Appointments Always Fill Fast

December is my busiest month of the year — and with the studio closed through the end of November, December availability is even more limited than normal.

People book quickly for:

Holiday gifting
Mother–daughter dates
New Year’s Eve sparkle
Matching bracelets
College students home for break
End-of-year traditions

If you want a December appointment, booking early is the best way to secure your spot.
