Permanent Jewelry Appointment
This booking is for one 30-minute permanent jewelry appointment, accommodating 1–3 people. If you’re interested in custom constructions, we recommend reserving the full 30 minutes for one person.
Get ready to elevate your accessory game with our Permanent Jewelry service at our San Antonio brick-and-mortar location. Choose from an extensive assortment of 14k gold-filled and sterling silver chains, then relax while we custom fit and weld your piece for a seamless, clasp-free finish.
Permanent Jewelry is more than an accessory — it’s a way to celebrate connection. Perfect for friendship bracelets or group experiences, each piece becomes a lasting reminder of the bonds you share, designed to be worn every day.
A $10 deposit is required to book your appointment and will be applied to the cost of your jewelry at checkout. The deposit secures your time and is fully credited when you attend your appointment. Cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 48 hours in advance; late changes or no-shows will forfeit the deposit, which is non-refundable and cannot be applied to a future booking.
Timeless, meaningful, and effortlessly wearable — Permanent Jewelry is the elevated experience you’ve been waiting for. ✨
Permanent Jewelry is a revolutionary concept where 14k gold-filled and sterling silver chains are fused together using advanced welding techniques, creating a seamless and everlasting piece that never comes off. It offers a stylish and durable accessory option that transcends traditional clasps, ensuring a secure and continuous connection.
No! Pulse arc welder technology produces a bright light but does not touch and is not felt by the skin.
We are happy to remove your jewelry for you. If you would like to turn your permanent jewelry into a traditional clasped piece, we can convert your piece for $20.
In a pinch? Simply snip your jewelry off with wire snips or heavy duty scissors.

Life happens, though, so we do not guarantee the chain. If your permanent jewelry gets snagged or caught on something and breaks, we are happy to offer repair, which may incur a charge.
billy + jess
In 2011, Billy + Jessica launched Son of a Sailor out of their East Austin home. Before they were even married, they knew they wanted to join forces creatively. Over a decade later, Son of a Sailor has become a staple Central Texas brand with two brick & mortar locations. Get to know the hands behind the goods.
deep in the heart of texas
While Jess was born in Texas, Billy "got here as fast as he could" as they say. Each having moved around the country more than their fair share, Billy and Jess met in San Francisco, and before too long Billy brought Jess back home.
A graphic designer and screenprinter by trade, Billy’s work takes on organic forms while Jessica’s background in fine art photography gives her a strong eye for framing, precision and composition. Son of a Sailor was born out of their shared love of thoughtful design and the ways it can spark joy in the lives of others.
made by hand
With the belief that a rising tide raises all ships, they work hard to preserve the art of the handmade. Much of the inspiration behind Son of a Sailor's products comes from the application of color, pattern and geometry to materials with a rich history and story.
In our shop, you’ll find jewelry and lifestyle goods ranging from beaded earrings and bracelets to painted keychains, playful home goods and men’s leather accessories—all of which are designed with the intent of bringing happiness to life’s daily necessities.
