Here are 5 things we think every artist or aspiring business owner should know before they get started — shared with love by the team behind Weld™.

1. You don’t need to be a jeweller
We’ve trained people from all walks of life — from beauty professionals to stay-at-home parents to global brands who see the welded jewellery trend isn't going anywhere! We’ll teach you everything you need to know, even if you’re starting from zero.

2. You can start small
You don’t need a shop, team, or full jewellery setup. Many of our students run mobile appointments, pop-ups at events, or offer the service inside an existing beauty space.

3. The welder is your main investment
Your biggest cost will be the welding machine. We can guide you to the best option for your needs based on your budget and business plan and Weld™ students receive a 10% discount from our recommended supplier. We also offer a small starter kit to get practicing right away. Everything else can be added as you learn and grow and with our advice and support you can be sure to ae everything you need to get started.

4. A good client experience = everything
Permanent jewellery is more than just welding — it’s about creating a beautiful moment. Our training shows you how to deliver a smooth, stylish, and professional experience that clients want to share with their friends.

5. Support matters more than you think
You’ll have questions. That’s why our training includes ongoing support — whether you need help choosing a chain, pricing a party, or calming nerves before your first booking.
