🔦 Side Hustle Spotlight: Permanent Jewelry Pop-Ups

Ever heard of jewelry that never comes off? Meet permanent jewelry — dainty chains welded directly onto your wrist, ankle, or neck, clasp-free and full of meaning. And it’s not just a trend—it’s a booming mobile business model that’s low-overhead and high-impact.

This week’s guests, the women of Bond Permanent Jewelry, turned a $1,200 investment into a six-figure biz in one year. No storefront. Just a welder, some chain, and a whole lot of hustle.

💡 Why it works:

• People crave experiences and keepsakes

• You can travel to events, parties, and pop-ups

• Startup costs are lower than you'd think

• It’s customizable, sentimental, and totally Instagrammable

📦 Want in on this trend? Here’s what you need to start:

• A welding machine (they started with an entry-level one)

• Quality chain (don’t go plated!)

• A vendor table and social media presence

• A whole lotta community love and referrals

💌 Before You Go…

If you’ve ever thought, I wish I could start something like that — this is your sign. Bond started with $1,200 and a dream. You don’t have to go big… you just have to start.

Reply and tell me: What would YOU launch if fear wasn’t in the way?
