FAQ
What's the process?
Try on and pick out which chain(s) you want. If you already know which chain(s), please let me know before your appointment so I can confirm I have it for you. Sometimes certain styles sell out.
The chain is custom fit to your wrist, ankle, or neck with a temporary link so you can test the sizing. Once it feels perfect, the jewelry is Bonded!
**Once the chain is cut, it is final sale. Make sure it's the one you love before we cut the chain.
After you're Bonded, we will take your picture for the Bonded Nooga scrap book.
I take Venmo, Cash, Credit, or Debit as payment. No checks.
how permanent are we talking?
It's as permanent as you want/need it to be.
If you need to remove it, just cut it at the link that was Bonded so we can put it back on for you when you're ready.
what if i have to remove it for surgery?
No worries! If this happens, cut it at the link it was Bonded, and I'll put it back on after your procedure.
I offer re-Bonding for free!
Does the jewelry require maintenance?
It's very low maintenance! Sterling silver can start to tarnish with extensive chlorine exposure, but polishing cloths will take care of that easily.
As long as you make sure to dry your jewelry after swimming, sweating, or showering, it'll keep looking sparkly!
Will it cause issues in airport security?
Because the jewelry is made of precious metals, they won't set off the metal detector. Just like your wedding ring or other nice jewelry!
How strong is the jewelry?
Well, besties, from personal experience, I have ran multiple obstacle course races and participated in CrossFit games, and my pieces are still Bonded strong!
However, they aren't entirely invincible because it is fine jewelry. If it breaks, bring it back and I'll Bond it again for free.
help, I have commitment issues.
It's OK! We offer clasped options, too. We also do Bonded rings (and obvi a ring is never permanent, lol)
Can i change my mind after getting bonded?
No. All sales are final.
Does it hurt?
No pain tolerance required!
It's a painless, slightly less permanent alternative to the bestie tat.
is it safe?
Yes! Practice and training for the right settings and techniques are used to ensure safety. For extra protection, a small leather piece is placed between the chain and your skin during bonding.
where are you located?
Bonded Nooga is nomadic in nature. You can find me at maker's markets, pop-ups at local establishments, and I do private events! Check the Schedule page to find me!
Tell me more about private events.
I will do a private event for groups of 10 or more. Host gets a free bracelet! I set up a private scheduling link for you to use. Contact to get it scheduled!
Birthdays, Bachelorette parties, girls night in, couple's date night, Bonded permanent jewelry is great for all!
Why is there a deposit for scheduling an appointment?
The $25 deposits fully go towards your purchase. It's a tiny commitment I ask from you to make sure my books stay full of besties truly ready to be Bonded!
I still have questions.
I love a curious human. Contact me by phone, email, insta, or Facebook, and ask away!
