If you’ve been thinking about getting permanent jewelry, you might be wondering what the appointment is actually like. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, the experience at Bonded by Gigi in Lake Geneva, WI is designed to be fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes. Here’s exactly what to expect.
💖 Arrive Ready for Some Fun
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a friendly face and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Our store is bright, pink, and full of personality — think Y2K sleepover party meets girls’ day out. Fun music fills the space, customers are laughing, and the vibe is pure celebration.
We love when groups come in together — it’s a party every time!
💎 Step 1: Learn How It Works
We’ll start by giving you a quick overview of how permanent jewelry works and answer any questions you have. You’ll see that the process is super easy and totally painless — just a tiny zap to fuse your chain closed!
🔗 Step 2: Choose Your Chain and Charms
Next, you’ll browse our selection of sterling silver and gold-filled chains. From delicate and dainty to bold and statement-making, we have styles for every personality.
You can also add one (or more!) of our connector-style charms, which sit perfectly between the chain links for a seamless look that’s less likely to catch or snag.
✨ Step 3: Get Your Perfect Fit
Before we weld, we’ll do a test fit so you can see exactly how your piece will feel. We’ll make any adjustments needed to ensure it’s comfortable, with enough movement for everyday wear but not so loose that it gets in the way.
⚡ Step 4: The Magic Moment
Once you’re happy with the fit, it’s time for the spark! We’ll close your jewelry with a quick, safe zap using a small welding machine. This tiny weld fuses the ends together, so your piece has no clasp — that’s what makes it permanent.
It’s fast, fun, and surprisingly special — people love to record or take photos during this part!
📸 Step 5: Admire & Celebrate
Now comes the best part: admiring your new sparkle! ✨
Snap a few selfies in our cute, photo-worthy pink shop — you’ll see why people say it’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in Lake Geneva.
💕 Step 6: Aftercare & Next Steps
Before you head out, we’ll go over simple aftercare and give you a Bonded by Gigi business card so you know how to reach us if any questions come up. If your chain ever breaks or needs to be removed temporarily, we offer free rewelds anytime — just bring it back in!
And while you’re here, don’t rush off! Explore everything inside The Market of Lake Geneva — try our Trucker Hat Bar and VR ride, or pop into other great shops like Queen Bee Artisan Market, Sub-Zero Candy Co., and Boutique by the Lake.
Want to keep the fun going? Walk downtown afterward and enjoy more of beautiful Lake Geneva — it’s the perfect girls’ day out.
