Permanent Bracelet Sizing and Pricing
Permanent Bracelet Sizing and Pricing — Golden Bond
At Golden Bond, permanent jewelry is custom-fit, intentionally crafted, and priced to be transparent and fair — no nickel-and-diming for every inch, no surprises at the end of your appointment.
Here is exactly how sizing and pricing works.
How Permanent Bracelet Sizing Works
Every permanent bracelet at Golden Bond is measured on your wrist, cut precisely for your fit, and welded for long-term strength. During this process small sections of chain are intentionally removed — not wasted, but necessary to create clean weld points, maintain proper tension, and ensure the bracelet wears comfortably for years. This is why permanent jewelry cannot be priced like a standard ready-made bracelet from a shelf.
Bracelet Pricing — Simple and Inclusive
Bracelets are priced per piece, not per inch. Our standard bracelet pricing covers up to 7 inches, allowing flexibility across different wrist sizes while ensuring every piece meets our quality and strength standards. You are paying for the result — not a ruler measurement.
Hand Chains
Hand chains require two bracelets — one for the wrist, one for the finger — plus additional cutting, fitting, and weld points. They are priced accordingly as two bracelets, reflecting both the materials and the additional craftsmanship involved.
Necklace Pricing
Permanent necklaces are offered at a flat rate covering up to 17 inches of finished length. You are charged for 14 inches of chain — the remaining length accounts for fit adjustments, strength allowances, and clean weld placement. Pricing equals two necklaces regardless of final length up to 17 inches. Clear, consistent, and no surprises.
Clasp Option
Prefer a removable piece? Clasps are available for an additional fee covering the clasp itself, jump rings, and the additional welding and labor required. This allows your piece to be removable while still meeting permanent-quality construction standards.
Why We Price This Way
Permanent jewelry is a service, a fit, and a finish — not just a product. Our pricing reflects custom fitting, skilled welding, structural integrity, long-term wearability, and fair access across all body types. What you see is what you pay. No awkward upcharges. No surprises.
Thoughtful craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and a piece built to last — that is the Golden Bond standard.
