By Alexis · · Updated

How much is permanent jewelry in Miami? Studios in Florida that publish a price start at about $80 a piece, according to The Permanent Jewelry Guide's count of studios' own price lists (the middle half start between $64 and $135). Across the US, The Knot puts bracelets at roughly $75 to $350, anklets at $175 to $230 and necklaces at $175 to $375. Where you land depends mostly on the metal and the length of chain.
| What | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Florida studios, starting price | about $80 (middle half $64 to $135) |
| US bracelet, starting price | about $65 (middle half $42 to $95) |
| Bracelet, US range | $75 to $350 |
| Anklet, US range | $175 to $230 |
| Necklace, US range | $175 to $375 |
| Fitting fee, where a studio adds one | $10 to $20 |
| Priced by the inch, where used | $16 to $89 an inch (median $35) |
Sources, read October 2026: the Florida and US starting prices, the fitting fee and the per-inch figures are The Permanent Jewelry Guide's count of studios that publish a price (16 in Florida, 290 for US bracelets, 17 that price by the inch); the bracelet, anklet and necklace ranges are The Knot's. Both are linked at the end of this guide.
A starting price is usually sterling silver or gold-filled, the two metals most studios weld. Solid 14k gold commonly runs two to four times gold-filled for the same length (The Permanent Jewelry Guide), which is why the top of each range sits so far above the bottom.
What drives the price
- The metal. Sterling silver is the most affordable, 14k gold-filled is the middle (real 14k gold bonded over a core), and solid gold is the top.
- The length. An anklet takes more chain than a bracelet, and a necklace takes more than both, so the same chain costs more as a necklace.
- Charms and connectors, which are priced on top of the chain.
- Whether welding is included. Some studios add a fitting fee at the counter, so it's worth asking before you pick a chain.
How pricing works at Bond & Fifth
Welding is always included in every price, there's no separate fee to close the chain. You pay for the piece, and we weld it on.
- You pay per piece: a bracelet, anklet or necklace, in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver.
- Fitting and the weld itself are included.
- Re-welds are free if the chain was purchased from us.
Our new pricing is coming soon. Message us for current pricing, or check back here. A small stack of two or three chains is priced per chain.
Each piece, in detail
What's included, and what isn't
The price you see is the price you pay. There's no clasp fee (there's no clasp), no separate welding charge, and no surprise add-ons.
- Included: your chain, custom sizing, the weld itself, and free re-welds on our own chains.
- Optional: a connector charm or an extra-long length can add a little, and we'll always tell you before we weld.
- Sales tax applies as required in Florida.

How much is a permanent jewelry party?
For private events (bachelorettes, bridal showers, birthdays), each guest chooses and pays for their own piece at our standard prices (unless the host decides to cover them). Private events start at $2,500: a group minimum spend across all guest pieces. A $500 deposit reserves your date and goes toward your total. We'll walk you through the details when you inquire.

Is permanent jewelry worth it?
Here's an honest way to think about it. A piece you wear every single day for years is one of the lowest cost-per-wear pieces of jewelry you'll ever own, most fine jewelry just sits in a box. Add the experience of getting welded with your people, and it's less a purchase than a small ceremony you get to keep. If you want disposable, this isn't it; if you want something that quietly becomes part of you, it's hard to beat.
How to get the most for your money
- Start with one piece you'll actually live in, you can always add to the stack later.
- Sterling silver is the most affordable way in; gold-filled is the upgrade for warm color with no upkeep.
- Going with friends? Book a private party and split the moment, everyone leaves wearing it.
- Keep our chains: re-welds are free, so a snag never means starting over.
How much does permanent jewelry cost in Miami?
Florida studios that publish a price start at about $80 a piece (the middle half between $64 and $135), according to The Permanent Jewelry Guide, and The Knot puts bracelets at roughly $75 to $350 across the US. At Bond & Fifth you pay for the chain you pick, a bracelet, anklet or necklace in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver, with welding and fitting included and free re-welds on our chains.

How much is a permanent bracelet?
Across 290 US studios that publish a starting price, the median for a bracelet is about $65, with the middle half between $42 and $95 and the full range $15 to $300 (The Permanent Jewelry Guide). The Knot puts bracelets at roughly $75 to $350. Starting prices are usually sterling silver or gold-filled; solid gold costs well above them.
What is a reasonable price for permanent jewelry?
For a sterling silver or gold-filled bracelet, about $42 to $95 is the typical starting range in the US, with a median of $65; in Florida the median start is about $80, with the middle half between $64 and $135 (The Permanent Jewelry Guide). Solid 14k gold commonly costs two to four times gold-filled for the same length, so a quote well above those ranges usually means solid gold, charms or a longer piece.
How much is a permanent anklet or necklace?
More than a bracelet, because they take more chain: about 9 to 11 inches for an anklet and 16 to 18 for a necklace, against about 7 for a wrist (The Permanent Jewelry Guide). The Knot puts anklets at roughly $175 to $230 and necklaces at $175 to $375.
How much does it cost to get permanent jewelry welded?
Usually nothing extra: most studios include the weld in the price of the piece, though some add a fitting fee of $10 to $20 at the counter (The Permanent Jewelry Guide), so ask before you pick a chain. At Bond & Fifth welding and fitting are always included.
Is permanent jewelry priced by the inch?
Usually not. Of 307 US studios that publish a starting price, 290 quote a flat price for a finished piece and 17 price by the inch (The Permanent Jewelry Guide), which is why a necklace can cost several times a bracelet in the same chain. Ask which one you're being quoted, and whether the weld is included.
Is the welding an extra charge?
No. Welding is included in every price, there's no clasp and no separate closing fee. The price on the menu is exactly what you pay for the finished, welded-on piece.
Why is gold-filled more expensive than silver?
Gold-filled contains a thick, bonded layer of real 14k gold (at least 5% of the piece's weight), so it costs more than sterling silver. In return you get warm gold color that holds up for years with essentially no upkeep.
Do you tip for permanent jewelry?
It's never expected. If you had a great experience and want to tip your welder, it's always appreciated, but the price you're quoted is complete.
What's the cheapest permanent jewelry option?
A sterling silver bracelet is our most affordable welded piece, welding included. It's a genuinely great chain, not a downgrade, and you can always add gold-filled pieces to the stack later.
How much does a permanent jewelry party cost?
At Bond & Fifth, private events start at $2,500: a group minimum spend across all guest pieces. Guests choose their own pieces and can pay for them, or the host can cover them. A $500 deposit reserves your date and goes toward your total. We'll help you plan the details when you reach out.
Does a mobile permanent jewelry party cost more than a studio visit?
Per piece, usually not. The Permanent Jewelry Guide finds that for parties most studios set a minimum number of guests or a minimum spend and may add a travel fee for mobile visits, while per-person pricing is usually the same as in the studio. You're covering the welder's time, not paying more for the jewelry.
