The hottest trend in the watch and jewellery industry
without question is permanent jewellery. A global phenomenon of couture, simple
chain pieces of jewellery worn without a clasp or any form or fashion of removing
the chain; yes, the chain is welded to the wearer! What comes with the concept
of permanent jewellery as its popularity grows is a whole host of questions.
At Peter Jackson the Jeweller we decided to be one of the pioneers of permanent jewellery and offer the people of Lancashire and the Northwest the best permanent jewellery experience. ‘Experience’ is a word that has cropped up for us so many times, because the further we developed our permanent jewellery brand ‘Evermore’ and the facets that go with it, the more we realised that permanent jewellery is an experience.
The process of choosing the product, the reasons why, people commemorating a bond and getting the jewellery together and then the welding process itself. All of this is an experience unlike any other.
What is permanent jewellery?
Permanent jewellery is a beautifully simple product. Elegant
chains of sterling silver, 9ct gold, gold-plated and platinum metals form our
collection. The chains themselves are fine enough to not be intrusive to
everyday wear but substantial enough to be strong. Classic chain types such as
belchers and curbs are obvious options, but more fun links in the shapes of
hearts or other motifs are a popular option.
Permanent jewellery is wearable in different ways too.
Bracelets are the ‘go to’ choice for many, but anklets for the summer will certainly
hit the trend curve. Necklaces make a wonderful choice too, either shorter
lengths for the full permanent jewellery experience or longer lengths to give
the illusion of permanence, but you can simply slip the necklace off over your
head. If you would like to go super fashionable, you could opt for the belly
chain trend.
So, we have a choice of chain, metal, and ways to wear, but
what makes it truly permanent? Well, it’s the welding of course. Each chain is cut
to the perfect length and joined together by squeezing the snipped link or
added a jump ring. Once neatly in place on the wearer the welding process is
done in a flash (literally) and your new piece of jewellery becomes permanent.
But if it sounds daunting to you having a permanent piece of jewellery, do not worry. Unlike a tattoo or a piercing, permanent jewellery can be cut off at any time with a sharp pair of scissors and re-welding can be done again too. It’s simply as permanent as you wish it to be.
How does the welding work and is it safe?
The simple answer is it’s quick and completely safe. The
welding machines used for permanent jewellery are small welding / soldering
devices, far smaller than a standard fabrication welder and far safer to use.
The emitted weld is so small that it does not require
protection of the eyes like a large welder and the spark is not large enough to
catch fire. Pure Argon gas is used to help the weld be a smooth finish as it
disperses oxygen and dampens the flash, from the small tungsten rod stylus.
It’s the perfect combination of finishing and safety all round. Check out our
showcase video on YouTube to see the process in action.
Checked on a regular basis, the welding machine goes through
our strict protocols along with the argon gas bottle as we make sure it is
secure and topped up. For our customers peace of mind, we also slip a small
piece of leather between the chain and the wearers skin to ensure comfort
throughout the process. We even have shades that you can wear, if you are light
sensitive or have any fears over the light emitted.
With so many questions that can come with the wearability, we have a full FAQ on our Evermore page that can be found here. But the most common questions tend to be airport security and medical procedures.
As all our permanent jewellery collection is made from
precious metal, you should have no concern over airport security. These metal
types will not set off any scanners or stop you from easily passing through all
security processes.
If you do have a medical procedure and you are required to remove the piece of permanent jewellery or it is cut off you, it’s no problem. Book another appointment with us and we can re-solder your permanent jewellery when the time is right.
Is Permanent Jewellery Bespoke?
Permanent jewellery is a bespoke experience, with the
elements involved being produced for the wearer. From picking the style, wear
options and size you choose, more fun can be taken with so much more that our
Evermore collection bespoke.
A fabulous range of charms is a traditional choice to
personalise your permanent jewellery. Little keepsakes of joy that means
something to the wearer. Despite their size, they can tell a big story.
One thing that is on the rise with permanent jewellery is
‘connectors’. Connectors are a pretty hybrid way of displaying a charm like motif
and are used in the fusing process of the piece of jewellery. Rather than
simply welding the links or a bolt ring, connectors are used in place, to do
exactly what the name suggests.
Some people love the dainty chains on offer and love seeing the welding process and the idea of made-to-order. But if you do not wish to have a permanent piece of jewellery, we do offer clasps. We are sure you will be delighted with the fun of Evermore whether you opt for a clasp or not.
Evermore permanent jewellery has been a wonderful journey for us at Peter Jackson the Jeweller. We hope you love our new brand creation and can’t wait to visit us in store to see the collection. But if you wish to buy the experience for a loved one, you can get them a gift voucher here and soon you will be able to purchase our Evermore collection online via our brand page here.
If you are saying’ I do’ this Summer Look no further, here

every bride-to-be. Even if you are just dreaming of your future big day, you
aren’t going to want to miss out on these looks.
Minimalist
Understated and classic, a bride who is timeless. Taking inspiration from reality Star Sophie Habbo, who married earlier this year, to business entrepreneur Jamie Lang. Stunning in small stud earrings, Sophie kept it simple in her bridal attire. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, especially on your wedding day. These four-claw white gold diamond earrings would complement any bride; these can be purchased in sizes 0.20ct +. To complete the look, the earrings can be paired with a matching diamond solitaire pendant. Not just for the bride, this trend could be for the whole bride’s party. If you are looking for less sparkle geometric silver has been seen as part of the minimalist trend, Georg Jensen has a range of solid silver bangles, pendants, and matching earrings to complete the look.
Vintage
Pretty in vintage lace, if this is your bridal style you will love this throwback. Taking inspiration from Alexandra Grecco the luxury bridal designer we have seen the return of pearls. Welsh gold company Clogau has a stunning pair of rose gold pearl drop earrings that are the ideal combination between modern bride and vintage inspiration. Alternatively, Thomas Sabo has some beautiful ‘Huggies-style’ pearl drop earrings.
Still need

The Late Princess Diana’s legendary sapphire engagement ring has been an inspiration to many since it first appeared in the public eye. Sapphire is a great statement gem investment your wedding day. It Is the second hardest gemstone after diamond, this durable gem is going to last you a lifetime. Not only that, but it is a striking blue that would stand out next to traditional bridal wear.

Destination Bride
Jet setting away somewhere sunny for your wedding?
Perhaps you are saying your vows on the Amalfi Coast or
sailing to the beautiful Greek islands,
Wherever you are having a destination wedding or honeymoon, I’ve taken inspiration from the likes of reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian’s Dolce Vita wedding to singer Travis Scott. A little different from the traditional bride, taking aspects from the landscapes we have plenty of vibrant colours. Dolce and Gabbana have some stunning couture that we cannot help but be inspired by. We have chosen Thomas Sabo Rainbow Stones Silver Cross Necklace Item code: 33 07 008 a colourful take on the traditional religious cross design.
Golden bangles and stylish hoop earrings could be what you
need for your beachside wedding.
When it comes to achieving a ‘well put together’ look, your watch can make a huge difference. Having a timepiece you can reach for that fits in with your aesthetic can really help you achieve your desired look. This season is all about colour and throwback trends, combining inspiration from watch forums and celebrity inspiration, here’s what we think are this Spring / Summer’s trends.
Gold is back! The latest trend has been centred round yellow gold, this has been a major throwback from the 80s. It’s bright sunny appearance will be the greatest addition to your outfits this spring / summer. Its stylish revamp is supported by the quiet luxury trend and as we know gold has always been a symbol of luxury & sophistication.
Continuing on the theme of Quiet luxury ladies dainty and timeless watches have been a huge trend, as seen on the likes of Kyle Jenner and increasingly more on celebs at the red carpet such as Timothée Chalamet with his diamond Cartier Crash at the golden globes.
Easy and versitile, we think this accessory is here to stay, Longlines achieve elegance in all of their designs and have a range of offerings for a lover of this trend. As seen on Jennifer Lawrence is the Longines Mini DolceVita Steel Quartz Diamond Bracelet Watch Item code: 930100471100012, a timepiece not only for this season but to keep for generations.
Milena Lazazzera the British Vogue’s luxury editor suggests there will be return of the ‘jewellery watch’ usually a slim bejewelled watch. Interestingly if we look back in history, the wrist watch was traditionally for men. Until, in the late 19th century the Countess Koscowicz of Hungary , eager to impress and stand out with a never-before-seen jewel, commissioned Patek Philippe to design the smallest possible timepiece to fit on a bracelet. This was the first wrist watch designed for women. We think the Raymond Weil Noemia 24mm Gold PVD Diamond Dot Quartz Bracelet Watch Item code: 15 06 093 will play the perfect homage too this trend with its use of Swiss movement, beautiful round diamonds and gold PVD plating.
Stand out and be bold!
Feeling wild? Jump onto the growing trend of interesting and unique dial, the perfect accessory to add character to your outfit! Ahead of the trend, Rado has released their Limited edition Rado True Round 40mm Open Heart White Ceramic Automatic timepiece. Limited to only 888 pieces in existance worldwide! This is an amazing stand out piece with an iridescent dial, that will surely be a conversation starter.
STORM have an amazing range of dial variations that stray from tradition. For summer our pick was this green into pink gradient dial, reminisant of fresh tropical vibes.
TAG Heuer have released their new smart watch special edition in collaboration with Malbon Golf. Its striking vivid green and yellow contrasting dial will surely make you stand out on the golf course. Whether you are an avid golfer or not this release is a watch fanatics dream. TAG have also released a new Carrera model, the Skipper a 39mm leather chronograph watch. Featuring a beautiful combination of orange, teal, green and blue. Its appearance is inspired by the original model formed from Jack Heuer’s involvement with the world’s most historic yacht race in America’s Cup, as the official timing partner of America’s Cup boat ‘Intrepid’ in the 60s. What an amazing throwback!
Adding a splash of colour to every outfit this Summer with bright dial colours. Many watch brands have been competing with each other to achieve the most eye catching, colourful dial. In light of last years release of Barbie the movie we saw the pink movement, TAG Heuer set the precedent in making the pink TAG Heuer Carrera Item code: 15 06 178, which was a huge hit for Barbie followers and watch collectors alike. If you’re looking for a rainbow of different colours to wear each day Citizens release of the TSUYOSA model is an exciting and affordable automatic watch that is available in an array of colours to pair to any outfit. Even one of our most traditional brands Raymond Weil offers a pop of colour in their ladies Tango model, this design comes in a lilac or pastel green shade. If you have a softer more feminine style this may be the watch for you.

Fast’ jet, the team of 9 nine pilots continue to dazzle at events all over the
world.
Each pilot
has extensive military front line experience with the Royal Air Force squadrons,
and it is seen as being an honour to be selected to be a pilot of Red Arrows.
Such is the lure and fandom of the Red Arrows that Citizen and stockists of
Citizen watches such as ourselves, receive enquiries and sales from all parts
of the world.
For any
major military brand to sign their likeness over to a manufacturer of any
goods, surely means that they believe in the quality of the products. With Red
Arrows and Citizen Watches, we believe this is the perfect partnership and
example of product to feature brand representation. With the purchase of a
Citizen Red Arrows Watch, you will get a quality made, innovative, technology
packed watch with the livery and branding of the Red Arrows to fittingly represent
the Hawk Fast fighter jet itself.
Creation
Of Citizen Red Arrows
September 2010 was the launch of the Citizen Red Arrows watch, so popular was this release selling over 10,000 units that it created the foundations for many generations of watches and still produced today. This first watch set the tone and showed the demand and appetite for such product was out there. Citizen to this day continue to create watches with so much tech for your money that savvy watch fans will not buy anything other than a Citizen watch, especially if they are spending less than a £1000.
Citizen
later ‘tested the waters’ once more in November 2011 with their first limited
edition Red Arrows model. Limited to only 500 pieces in a special display case
with matching cufflinks, this watch again was a huge success. This time
incorporating Citizens atomic-timekeeping eco-drive movement. Could you imagine
if you had a pristine one today, what an amazing collector’s item to own!
Our own
personal relationship with Citizen dates back to 1985, the days before
computerised till points where every sale was handwritten but Citizen was
inspiring the watch world with their amazing value products then. They invented
their ‘Eco-Drive’ technology in 1976 and it’s amazing to think that thanks to
their patent, no other watch movement with a power cell invented since has come
close to this today. Even the big Swiss watch houses cannot produce a battery
movement that provides the same reliability without breaking patent laws. We
have seen Citizen continue to prosper and it’s been great to see the
development of their Red Arrows collection.
The
Current Red Arrows Collection
For 2023, Citizen has 9 watches as part of their Red Arrows collection all with different features and a mixed price range starting from just £279. Regardless of the model, the base of the movement before add-ons is built from the ground up using the Eco-Drive technology. Powered by any light (not just sunlight, artificial light too) the watches lithium-ion cell is constantly recharging providing a watch that never needs a battery change. Citizen is so confident of their Eco-Drive movements that all their watches regardless of price come with a 6-year warranty, amazing for watches of this price structure.
The Red
Arrows collection, rightfully so, is curated with aviation and watch fans in
mind. All the watches have some form of technology that is sure to wow research
buyers. No one ever complains that they are not getting a lot of watch for
their money. The base models at the very least feature ‘world time’, tracking
24 cities across the globe. They also feature other useful timekeeping tools
such as a chronograph and the all-important Red Arrows branding and display
case.
Moving into
the higher price products, you find the kind of technology that any real watch
geek loves to see, such as radio-controlled atomic clock synchronisation for superior
accuracy; set your location and your watch will auto set the time, day, date
month and year! Within these products you will also see limited edition
releases, with numbered editions still proving to be popular and sell out over
ten years since the first.
