FAQ

Everything you need to know before your little spark.

The Experience

Permanent jewelry is a piece of jewelry that is custom-fitted to you and welded closed, creating a seamless, clasp-free finish.

You choose your favorite chain, we measure it to your desired fit, and the ends are connected using a specialized welding process. The process is quick and does not involve piercing or cutting the skin.

No. The welding takes place on the jewelry itself, not on your skin. You may see a small flash or spark during the process, but you should not feel the weld.

Most pieces take approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on the jewelry selected and the number of pieces being fitted.

Of course. Maison Oréa is designed to be an experience to share. Guests are welcome, subject to the capacity of the location.

The Jewelry

We offer a curated selection of jewelry in materials such as 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, and selected plated options, depending on the collection.

Your jewelry will resist tarnish under normal conditions, but it can tarnish or wear down over a long period if exposed to harsh chemicals, heavy sweat, or specific environmental triggers.

Gold-filled jewelry consists of a substantial layer of 14k gold mechanically bonded to a base metal. It contains significantly more gold than standard gold plating and is designed for greater durability.

Sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining portion typically consisting of other metals that provide strength and durability.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a coating process that deposits a thin layer of material onto the jewelry. It is generally more durable than traditional plating.

Care & Everyday Wear

Yes, your jewelry can generally be worn during everyday activities such as showering. However, minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals and unnecessary products will help preserve its appearance.

Use a soft jewelry cloth and gently wipe the piece. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh cleaning products unless specifically recommended for that material.

Fit, Sizing & Stacking

We measure the jewelry directly on you and adjust it according to your preferred fit before welding.

That's completely personal. We can create a closer, more fitted look or leave a little room for movement.

Yes, if the selected chain is suitable for a necklace application.

Absolutely. Stacking is one of the best ways to personalize your Maison Oréa collection.

Yes. You can build your collection over time and add additional pieces during future appointments or events.

Absolutely. Permanent jewelry is particularly popular for matching pieces between friends, couples, sisters and family members.

Breaks, Removal & Repairs

Permanent jewelry is designed for everyday wear, but chains can break if they are pulled, caught or subjected to significant force. If your piece breaks, keep both ends of the chain and contact us. We'll let you know what repair options are available.

Yes. Permanent jewelry can be removed by cutting the chain at the weld point. We recommend keeping the chain if you would like it repaired or reconnected later.

If the chain is still in good condition and the piece is suitable for reconnection, we may be able to reconnect it. Contact us to confirm.
