Sparked Jewelry
- In stock, ready to ship
Permanent jewelry, welded on at the studio in Hyde Park Village. Book a time, choose your chain when you arrive, and leave wearing it.
How it works
- We size your wrist, ankle or neck.
- You choose a chain: 14k gold filled, sterling silver or solid 14k gold. The photos show current options.
- We cut it to fit and close it with a quick spark weld. No heat touches your skin.
- You leave with a piece sized to you, no clasp, nothing to take off.
Pricing
- Bracelets: $50 to $200 in gold filled or sterling silver, depending on the chain.
- Anklets: add $10 to the bracelet price.
- Necklaces: by length, added to the bracelet price: 14 to 16 inches +$35, 16 to 18 inches +$40, 18 to 20 inches +$45.
- Solid gold: priced per inch. For example, 14k yellow gold elongated cable, 2 mm, is $30 an inch: a 5-inch bracelet is $150, a 16-inch necklace is $480.
Booking is free. You are sized at the appointment and pay then, once you have chosen the chain and length.
Coming with friends
Choose how many people are coming when you book; each of you gets your own time. Please arrive with clean, lotion-free skin so we can size and weld quickly.
Warranty and repairs
Every piece comes with a 30-day warranty. If the jump ring separates at the weld and you still have the chain, we repair it free of charge.
Damage from pulling, snagging or stretching is not covered, but we can fix it by adding a new jump ring or adjusting the chain for a $20 repair fee. If you ever need to remove your jewelry, cut it at the jump ring and we will reattach it for the same fee. A stretched chain may keep a slight distortion after repair.
If your chain is lost, bring proof of purchase and we will take 10% off a replacement.
To schedule a repair or reattachment, book a repair session above or visit us in the studio.
1Size & Fit
Sizes and lengths, where offered, are in the selector above. Unsure? Come in and we will fit it to you, or write to us with what you have in mind.
2Sourcing
Gold-filled is not plating. A thick layer of 14k gold is bonded under heat and pressure to a jeweler's brass core, a hundred times the gold of a plated piece, which is why it wears for years rather than months. Sterling is 925 silver. Everything is made or finished by hand in Hyde Park Village, Tampa.
3Care
Gold-filled and sterling live longest when they are taken off for the shower, the pool, the sea and the gym, and put on after perfume and lotion rather than before. Store each piece on its own, in the pouch it came in.
When it dulls, a polishing cloth brings it back. Sterling will tarnish with time and air; that is silver being silver, and the cloth takes it off. Bring it to the studio any time and we will clean it while you wait.
