Permanent Jewelry and the Unbranded Welder: Everything You Need to Know

The success of your permanent jewelry business rides on your welder. So, choose wisely my friend! And here’s how:

In this video, we'll compare two welders. The Unbranded Welder is not a good option for permanent jewelry. It seems to get around, sold by anyone willing to slap their name on the side, looking to make a quick buck. The Zapp Plus 2 is clearly and proudly branded and sold direct or through authorized dealers.

Unbranded Welder has built more than 20 years ago for dental labs—or ortho labs, or something; it's ancient, and it looks like it. On the right: the Zapp Plus—designed specifically for permanent jewelry.

On the left: a machine that surprises you with every weld—you never really know what you’re going to get. On the right: a welder purposely tuned for tiny chains and jump rings with consistent results.

On the left: a machine with no safety certifications and known to sometimes create a shocking situation—and that’s not the normal PJ experience. On the right, a welder built on 20 years of experience, fully tested, fully certified, and proven safe.

On the left: a machine with mysterious origins, questionable components, and a lifespan shorter than a pop-up event. On the right, a welder backed by ISO-certified manufacturing and engineered to last a lifetime.

On the left: a machine with cipher-like buttons—what does this even mean? On the right, a welder with a single, digital dial with one number that’s easy to learn and easy to use.

On the left: a machine that may or may not come with a manual and no customer service access to the manufacturer. On the right, a welder with step-by-step instructions and customer service that’s just a text away—even on the weekends.

On the left——holy heaviness: The Unbranded machine weighs 5.8 times more than the welder on the right! Try lugging that machine from pop-up to pop-up.

The Unbranded Welder has a price that says, “I’m cheap”. But with inconsistent welding, multiple replacements, delays, frustrations, hassles, and a questionable warranty—it gets expensive fast. On the right, a welder with a 3-year warranty, instant customer service, and 5-star reviews.

On the left: Does this machine really represent your aesthetic? You want to put that on your pop-up table? On the right: A welder that says, “you’re a pro” and matches your professional image.

On the left, a machine built in China. On the right, a welder engineered and built in the USA by proud American workers.

On the left, a machine that lacks any options for darkening lenses or optics. On the right, a welder that connects with five different darkening lenses and optics.

The bottom line, my friends, is this:

The one on the left: A gamble. You shouldn’t build your business relying on this machine. The one on the right: welding technology trusted by NASA, Space-X and thousands of permanent jewelry artists around the world.
