About Me
Hey there!My name is Taania. Let me tell you how I came to add welded jewellery to my business.It all started with a serendipitous encounter at a permanent makeup conference.I stumbled upon a pop-up store showcasing the elegance of permanent jewellery. Initially, I hadn't paid much attention, but that all changed when I was offered a free bracelet on the final day.Instantly captivated by its delicate design and weightless feel, I was hooked.No clasp to worry about, just effortless beauty.After the conference, I checked out my local area but couldn't find many places that offered permanent jewellery. That's when it struck me - there was an opportunity waiting to be seized. Why not be the one to bring this exquisite beauty to others?And just like that, another passion, another dream and a business venture!Welcome to Permanent Jewellery West Sussex by Taania Wood —where simplicity meets lasting elegance.
FAQs
Q: What is permanent jewellery?
A: Permanent jewellery is a custom-fit bracelet, anklet or necklace that is hand welded to provide a seamless join, rather than having a fiddly or unsightly clasps. Also known as welded jewellery.Q: How does it work?
A: You choose your chain, and any charms you would like, and I will then measure the chain to fit you perfectly before joining the two ends of the chain together to create a seamless join – no fiddly or unsightly clasp!Q: Can anyone have permanent jewellery?
A: My insurance requires that you are 18 years or older to have welded jewellery.
Under 18's can still enjoy a bespoke, custom-sized piece of jewellery - I'll just add a small clasp for you.
If you have allergies to metals / alloys, permanent jewellery may not be suitable for you.
If you have a pacemaker fitted, permanent jewellery is not suitable for you.Q: What if I need to remove my permanent jewellery?
A: No Problem at all! Just use a pair of nail clippers or small snippers to cut through the welded jump ring and save your piece somewhere safe. When you are ready, just come back and see me to have it re-welded.Q: How long does it last?
A: Your permanent jewellery will last you months to years, depending on the style of chain you choose, the material the chain is made from, your lifestyle, and any products you use (e.g. perfumes, lotions, potions, chemicals, etc)Q: Can I wear my jewellery through an airport?
A: Fine jewellery such as permanent jewellery should not cause you any issues with most airport security scanners.Q: What if I need to have an MRI scan?

Most ferrous metals are not permitted to be worn during an MRI scan. You can tell if your jewellery contains ferrous metals by holding a magnet over it. If the jewellery is drawn towards the magnet, it contains ferrous metal.
