Looking for the perfect everyday chain? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re choosing a clasped necklace for layering, a bracelet for a special gift, or a welded piece of permanent jewelry, our Chain Shop collection is designed for easy, lasting style.
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our materials, sizing, permanent jewelry process, and customization options to help you find your perfect fit.
Permanent jewelry is a custom-fit chain that is welded directly around your wrist, ankle, neck, or finger—without a clasp. It's designed to be worn every day as a seamless, symbolic piece. Stórica Studio offers permanent jewelry appointments in our Seattle studio for select Chain Shop styles.
Yes! Many of our Chain Shop necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and rings are available for shipping. These pieces come with a clasp and standard sizing options. If you're shopping from afar, simply select your desired length at checkout.
For bracelets and anklets, we recommend measuring your wrist or ankle with a flexible tape measure, adding a small amount of extra length for comfort. Necklaces are available in classic lengths (16”, 18”, or 20”) to suit your layering or everyday style. Rings are sized in whole and half sizes for the perfect fit.
Our Chain Shop jewelry is crafted using high-quality 14k gold (yellow, white, or rose) and sterling silver. Exact material availability varies by chain style. We use solid metals—not gold-filled or plated—ensuring your piece is designed to last.
Yes! Our solid gold and sterling silver chains are designed for everyday wear, including during swimming, exercising, and showering. Keep in mind that sterling silver may naturally oxidize over time but can easily be polished to restore its shine.
Permanent jewelry can be carefully removed by snipping the jump ring. If you decide to remove your welded piece, you are always welcome to bring it back to us for re-welding at a nominal fee.
We stand by the craftsmanship of our Chain Shop jewelry. If your permanent jewelry or clasped piece breaks within the first 30 days of purchase, we offer a complimentary repair. After 30 days, repairs are available for a small service fee.
For clasped jewelry, we can adjust the length or add a charm (additional fees may apply). For permanent jewelry, you can personalize your piece by choosing your chain style, metal type, and adding a connector charm at the time of your welding appointment.
If you have a special request, please reach out—we’re happy to help create a piece that's just right for you.
