A Guide to the Top Performing Permanent Jewelry Welders
Choosing a welder for your permanent jewelry business is the most important decision you'll make. Without the welder, you won't have a business. Things to consider:
Manufacturer expertise (how long has the company been manufacturing welders)
Warranty
Access to VIP programs (designed to expedite customer service, repairs, or replacements when you're in a bind)
Customer service (if you're working a pop-up on a weekend, can you contact customer service)
Here are the top permanent jewelry welders:
More PJ artists use the Orion mPulse than any other permanent jewelry welder. Here's why it is a favorite:
A 1 to 30 joule power range, with half joule increments from 1-15, means the mPulse can be used for other jewelry-related tasks, from creation to repair.
With almost two decades of history, the Orion mPulse is the most reliable of all permanent jewelry welders.
Like all 3 of these welders, the mPulse has options when it comes to optics. Pair it with a basic ADL, an advanced ADL with a clear lens, Sunstone PJ Scope, a Sunstone eClips (welder stylus eye protection optic attachment) or a 5x optics on a microscope arm.
Comes with a standard 3-year warranty and an available VIP customer service plan.
The Zapp Plus is a budget welder with a lot of non-budget benefits. Here's what you'll like:
The Zapp Plus has a 1 to 30 joule power range that gives the welder more versatility than its predecessor, the Zapp welder. It offers more ease when working with jewelry in general, second only to the Orion mPulse.
A stylus cord that's 72 inches from tip to tip; Sunstone's welder stylus's are perfect for not just bracelets but necklaces and anklets —a feature that makes this budget permanent jewelry welder a gem!
Compatible with all of Sunstone's optics: Basic ADL, Upgraded ADL, PJ Scope, eClips, or Microscope.
Simple, locking one-knob operation means anybody can learn to use the Zapp Plus.
3-year Warranty with available VIP customer service plan.
The Zapp is the ultimate budget welder that sells for only USD $1,099. You may be thinking you get what you pay for, but here's what makes the Zapp welder a really good choice:
Cost: How many bracelets do you need to sell to pay for the Zapp? The number is really low and lower in some areas where bracelets sell for USD $100 or more!
A 1-10 joule power range limits the Zapp to permanent jewelry only.
Like the Zapp Plus 2, you quickly pick up on how to use the Zapp's single-knob operation.
Reliability—the Zapp and the Zapp Plus are manufactured by Sunstone, a company with nearly 18 years of experience in specialty welders. That's a big plus for the Zapp.
3-year Warranty with available VIP customer service plan.
