Alma•Sun Permanent Jewelry is a local, specialized jewelry business based in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia (serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and surrounding areas). Owned and operated by founder Crystal, the brand focuses on custom-fitted, clasp-less, semi-fine jewelry designed to be worn continuously.

The Experience

Instead of using traditional clasps, pieces like bracelets, anklets, and necklaces are custom-fitted directly to the client and micro-welded for a seamless, continuous look.

• The Process: A quick, painless micro-weld creates a brief spark to bond the chain ends together. A protective barrier is placed over the skin during the process, making it completely comfortable and safe.

• Customization: Customers can choose from an array of chains, charms, and connectors (such as 14k yellow gold-filled materials) to curate a personalized piece reflecting their personal style, friendships, or life milestones.

• Age & Preferences: The permanent option is available for guests aged 15 and older. For younger guests or anyone who prefers standard jewelry, Alma•Sun also offers custom-fitted options complete with traditional clasps.

Care, Longevity, and Removal

• Durability: While designed for daily activities like showering, swimming, and working out—and perfectly safe to wear through TSA security checkpoints—the chains are delicate by design and not completely indestructible.  

• Easy Removal: If a piece ever needs to be removed for a medical procedure or any other reason, it can easily be cut at the weld site using simple jewelry snips. Alma•Sun provides a 3-month warranty on their welds and will re-weld a saved chain free of charge within that timeframe.  

Where to Find Them

Alma•Sun operates dynamically through pop-up event bookings and private gatherings rather than a static retail storefront:

• Public Events: They frequently participate in local regional highlights, including regional bridal expos, the East Beach Farmers Market in Norfolk, and popular destination pop-ups like the Virginia Beach Winery. 

• Private Experiences: They are available for booking private, intimate gatherings, making them a popular addition to celebratory events like bachelorette parties, bridal showers, or birthdays.
