Our story
No gatekeeping here
LINKED started in 2022 with a simple idea: learning permanent jewelry shouldn't mean piecing it together from short videos, guessing at machine settings, chain, and pricing, and hoping it works.
So we built the whole path in one place. The welder and the starter kit. Step-by-step training on the weld and on the business side. A supply store for the chain and charms you'll reorder. And a team and student community that actually answers your questions.
Our first machine, the Deluxe, helped over 1,000 people get started in our first two years. We redesigned it into the LINKED Luxe to make it sleeker, easier to use, and more affordable for new artists.
Today we train complete beginners and beauty pros adding a new service, online and at our HQ near Orlando.
It was about being able to start your own business, build a legacy for yourself...
What we do
Training, tools, and supplies in one place
Everything a new permanent jewelry artist needs, from the first weld to the first event, and the restock after that.
01 Training
Learn online or in person
Our online course is 21 video modules, about 7 to 8 hours, self-paced, with lifetime access and a certificate of completion. Prefer hands-on? Spend a full day training at our HQ.
02 Starter kits
Your welder, chain, and tools
Choose from four welders, including our own LINKED Luxe. Every training kit comes with the same 20 ft of chain, tools, and full online course, so the only choice is the machine.
03 Supply store
Chain, charms, and more
14K solid gold, gold filled, and sterling silver chain by the foot, plus charms, connectors, jump rings, and tools. LINKED students get a lifetime 10% discount on supply orders over $50.
04 Support
A team and community behind you
Lifetime support, coaching call replays, done-for-you social content, and a private student community on Skool and Facebook. You won't be figuring this out alone.
