Permanent jewelry
for a life lived
outside.
Fine chains, welded on with no clasp and sized to fit the way you actually dress. Put it on once and it stays with you, from days on the lake to nights out. We bring the chains and the whole setup to you around Lake Tahoe and Reno.
How it works
Pick your chain. We'll do the rest.
-
01
Choose your chain
A considered edit of 14k gold fill, solid 14k gold, sterling silver and rose gold fill. Delicate or something with more weight, charms if you want them. We'll help you choose what fits how you actually dress.
-
02
Measured to fit
Wrist, ankle or neck. We size it with a little give, so it moves with you and never pulls.
-
03
Welded closed
A tiny spark joins the last two links. The weld happens on the chain, a few millimeters off your skin, so nothing touches you. No clasp, nothing to fasten.
Sierra Soul
The best jewelry is the jewelry you actually live in.
Sierra Soul started in Lake Tahoe, on the idea that jewelry shouldn't be something you have to think about. No clasp to fight with, no earrings left on a nightstand, nothing to remember on the way out the door.
So we make the kind you keep on. Choose a chain in gold fill, solid gold, sterling or rose. We size it to you and weld it closed. From there it's simply part of what you wear, every day and on the ones that matter.
Events
Everyone leaves still wearing it.
We bring the whole setup to wherever you already are, a rental on the lake, a hotel suite, a backyard, a shop floor. Everyone chooses a chain, adds a charm if they want one, and gets welded in one at a time while the group compares wrists at the table. It usually turns into the part of the weekend people bring up later.
Bachelorettes
Matching chains for the bride and everyone who flew in.
Birthdays
A gift everyone actually keeps on.
Wedding weekends
Something for the group before the schedule takes over.
Girls' trips
A little something to take home together.
Rentals & private parties
Lake house, backyard, wherever you're gathered. We'll come to it.
Pop-ups & brand events
Bring us into your shop, salon, market or launch.
No occasion needed either. Two people is enough to get us out there.

Good to know
What is permanent jewelry?
A fine chain sized to your wrist, ankle or neck and closed with a tiny weld instead of a clasp. Nothing to fasten, nothing to lose, nothing to remember on the way out the door. You put it on once and live in it.
Can I shower, swim and sleep in it?
Yes, that's the whole idea. Shower in it, sleep in it, wear it into the water. Rinse it after a swim or the hot tub, and keep lotion and perfume off the chain. Gold fill and sterling handle everyday wear well, though a fine chain is still a fine chain, so a hard snag can bend or break a link. If that happens, bring it back and we'll fix it.
Does it hurt?
No. The weld happens on the chain itself, a few millimeters off your skin, so nothing touches you. Most people say it's a small flash of light and that's it.
Do you come to us?
That's the whole point. We pack everything up and set up wherever the group already is: a lake house, a hotel suite, a backyard, a venue or a shop floor. We cover Lake Tahoe end to end, plus Truckee, Incline Village, Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the areas around them. Tell us where you'll be and we'll let you know if we can get there.
Can I take it off?
Yes, whenever you want. Snip it at the jump ring with small scissors and hang onto it. Bring it back and we'll weld it closed again.
How do I take care of it?
Not much to it. Rinse after chlorine or salt water, keep lotion and perfume off the chain, and dry it when you can. Sterling silver can darken over time and a polishing cloth brings it back. Gold fill holds its color through normal wear, though the finish will soften eventually like any jewelry you wear every day.
What are the chains made of?
14k gold fill, solid 14k gold, sterling silver and rose gold fill, in a range of weights from barely there to substantial.
How long does it take?
Only a few minutes each once you've picked a chain. At an event most of the time goes to choosing chains and standing around the table, not the welding. Send us your guest count and we'll give you a window to plan around.
What about airport security and MRIs?
The chains are small and light, so they rarely set anything off, but screening is always the agent's call. For an MRI, most clinics ask you to remove any metal, so plan on snipping it and bringing it back to us.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks is comfortable, more for peak summer on the lake and wedding weekends. Last minute is always worth asking about.
