The Top Permanent Jewelry Welders
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:
Orion PJ™
The Orion PJ is the Cadillac of all permanent jewelry welders. Here's what you'll like:
This welder's biggest selling point is the ability to add or decrease power in half-joule increments within a 1 to 15 joule power range.
The stylus cord can be expanded up to 9' in length, which makes anklets a breeze.
It's also compatible with a basic ADL (auto darkening lens, as shown above), an upgraded ADL with clear lens and more viewing space, the Sunstone PJ Scope (5x optics on a moveable stand), or 5x optics on an arm.
You may also appreciate the ability to choose from nine different back ground colors for the digital touchscreen display.
Comes with a 3-year warranty and available VIP customer service plan.
Orion mPulse™
More PJ artists use the Orion mPulse than any other permanent jewelry welder. Here's why it is a favorite:
A 3 to 30 joule power range means the mPulse can be used for other jewelry-related tasks, from creation to repair.
With more than a decade of history, the mPulse is the most relieable of all permanent jewelry welders.
Like the Orion PJ, the mPulse has options when comes to optics. Pair it with a basic ADL, an advanced ADL with clear lens, Sunstone PJ Scope, or 5x optics on an arm.
Comes with a 3-year warranty and available VIP customer service plan.
Zapp Plus™
The Zapp Plus is a budget welder with lots of non-budget benefits. Here's what you'll like:
1 to 30 joule power range that gives the Zapp Plus with more versatility with it comes to working with jewelry in general.
Expand the stylus cord with Sunstone's handy stylus extender—a feature that makes this budget permanent jewelry welder a gem!
Compatible with all of Sunstone's optics: Basic ADL, Upgraded ADL, PJ Scope, or Microscope.
Simple, one-knob operation means anybody can learn to use the Zapp Plus.
3-year Warranty with available VIP customer service plan.
Zapp™
The Zapp is the ultimate budget welder that sells for only USD $999. You may be thinking you get what you pay for, but here's what makes the Zapp 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 $80 or more!
A 1-10 joule power range limits the Zapp to permanent jewelry only.
Like the Zapp Plus, 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 avaiable VIP customer service plan.
