FAQ
-
Our studio is in Highland Park, Northeast Los Angeles, right on Figueroa Street. We're tucked into a vintage building surrounded by some of the best shops, coffee spots, and restaurants in the neighborhood. You can park in the public lot behind the building or find street parking nearby.
We also travel throughout the LA area and beyond for private parties and events—see details

This isn't just about jewelry—it's about the experience. My studio is a little haven in Highland Park where you can slow down, mark a moment, and walk away with something meaningful. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, treating yourself, or just adding to your collection, I'm here to make it feel special. And if you need a recommendation for where to grab coffee or explore afterward? I've got you covered.
-
We're appointment-only, but we also host Open Studio days for walk-ins and repairs—check our calendar to see what's coming up. When you book online, we'll ask for your credit card info. We don't charge a deposit upfront, but there is a $50 no-show fee if you miss your appointment or don't cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
And yes, feel free to bring a friend, partner, kid, or even your pup! Just keep in mind the studio is cozy, so we try to keep it to 3-4 people in the space at once.
-
Studio appointments last about 30 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to browse chains and charms, review and sign a quick consent form, ask questions, and find your perfect piece. The actual zap is super quick! If you'd like to incorporate a particular ritual or ceremony into your appointment, just let us know—we're happy to make it special (though timing and fees may shift depending on what you have in mind).
-
Do your best to arrive on time. If you're running late, just know I can't guarantee I'll be able to accommodate your full appointment, especially if there's someone booked after you.
-
We carry a curated selection of delicate, layerable chains in sterling silver, gold-filled, and 14k gold. Sterling silver and gold-filled pieces start at $85, and 14k gold starts at $145. We also have a large collection of charms you can add to any piece. Browse what we have available [here – link to shop page].
If you have a specific chain or charm in mind, let me know! I love to accommodate special orders.
-
Not at all! The process is completely safe and painless. We call it "the zap" because it's quick—just a tiny spark that connects your chain. You won't feel a thing. If you want to watch (it's pretty cool!), I'll provide protective eyewear so you can see the magic happen up close.
-
Yes! Your permanent jewelry won't set off metal detectors at the airport. You're good to go.
-
No problem. Though our pieces are designed to stay on indefinitely, they're easy to remove if needed. Just use a small pair of scissors or a nail clipper to snip the connecting link (the one we welded). When you're ready to have it put back on, we're here for you.
-
Absolutely! We offer re-welding services for $25. Just make sure you still have the chain—if it's gone, there's nothing we can do. Also, note that we don't weld chains that were purchased or sourced elsewhere, but we're happy to re-weld pieces you originally got from us.
-
If your jewelry breaks within the first 6 months, we'll re-weld it for free (up to 2 times). After that, or for pieces not originally purchased from us, re-welds are $25. Just make sure you bring the chain with you—we can't fix what we don't have!
We don't take appointments for repairs only. Swing by during our Open Studio hours (check the calendar) or contact me directly to arrange a time.
-
Your jewelry is made to live with you—shower, sleep, swim, and sweat in it! We do recommend keeping it away from harsh chemicals (like chlorine or cleaning products). To clean your piece, just use a little Dawn dish soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush. Easy.
-
Yes! You can come back anytime to add a charm from our collection. It's always fun to layer and build on what you already have.
-
Kids are welcome as long as they can sit still for process and with parent consent. If you have a younger little who wants a bracelet, we're happy to create a custom piece with a clasp instead.
-
Once we've cut the chain and welded your custom piece, it's yours. We can't offer refunds, so make sure you love it before we zap!
-
Yes, we love them! Private parties require a minimum of 8 guests, and we offer different packages depending on what you're looking for. Pop-up events are posted on our calendar as they come up. Get in touch [link to contact page] if you have special requests or want more details about hosting your own gathering.
-
We do! Both physical and digital gift cards are available. They make a perfect gift for someone special (or for marking a milestone).
