Discover Permanent Jewellery on The Shambles, York's most iconic location.
Welcome to Pink Vintage Jewellery, home to York's first permanent jewellery studio. My studio is located in the heart of the city, on The Shambles, just minutes away from York's famous attractions, where I create welded bracelets, anklets, and necklaces, as well as meaningful permanent jewellery experiences. You can find me within Unique Ink Tattoo Studio, a well-established and respected tattoo studio known for its talented artists and welcoming atmosphere.
A Unique York Experience to Treasure Forever
A permanent jewellery appointment is a unique experience in York, giving visitors the chance to create a custom bracelet or charm that becomes a lasting reminder of their holiday in the city.
What will happen at my permanent jewellery appointment?
At your permanent jewellery appointment, you’ll begin by exploring my full collection of chains to create a piece that feels completely personal to you. I offer a wide selection of materials, including 9ct gold, gold-filled, rose gold-filled, and sterling silver, with over 35 different chains to choose from in a variety of styles and textures. Once you’ve chosen your perfect chain, you can customise it further by adding over 100 charms and connectors, allowing you to design something truly unique. When you’re happy with your selection, I carefully measure the chain for the perfect fit before welding it seamlessly in place, creating a beautiful piece of permanent jewellery designed to be worn and enjoyed every day.
Where are you located?
Pink Vintage Jewellery is located inside Unique Ink at 39A The Shambles! You'll find me on the first floor of this charming historic building, with the entrance conveniently located at Shambles Market. Please note that because of the building's unique historic features, it is not accessible for everyone—unfortunately, it's not suitable for children, strollers, or wheelchairs, as access is via stairs. Imagine, wonky rooms and staircases with the best view in York! I’m seconds away from the Ghost Merchants, the Shop that must not be named, and the lively Shambles Market, where you can explore a variety of fantastic independent traders. You won't find a better location to get welded; that’s a guarantee! Video Directions to my happy place are here!

Why choose Pink Vintage Jewellery?
Pink Vintage Jewellery is an established online jewellery business specialising in handmade and personalised jewellery, with over 12,000 sales and thousands of five-star reviews. With nine years in business and a genuine passion for jewellery, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything I do.
Unlike many permanent jewellery artists who come from a beauty industry background, my expertise comes from years of working with jewellery. I have spent many years developing my skills and completing professional training in techniques including jewellery welding, soldering and stone setting, as well as creating all kinds of beautiful, sparkly pieces.
I’m also a member of the Guild of Jewellery Designers and registered with the Sheffield Assay Office. I am fully trained and insured as a permanent jewellery artist, so you can feel confident that your jewellery is being fitted and welded by someone with extensive jewellery knowledge and experience.
One of the things that makes Pink Vintage Jewellery different is the level of personalisation I can offer. With years of experience creating and customising jewellery, I can help you create something that feels truly personal to you. If you have a particular idea or would like to discuss a special piece before your appointment, just email me at nicola@pinkvintage.co.uk.

I’d love to welcome you to my permanent jewellery studio on The Shambles in York. Whether you’re marking a special occasion, treating yourself or making a memory with someone you love, I’ll make sure your visit is relaxed, personal and memorable.
I can’t wait to help you create your forever jewellery!
