Permanent jewellery - York
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 and minutes away from York Minster, where I create welded bracelets, anklets, and necklaces, along with 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 has officially moved to a new home 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!

Why choose Pink Vintage Jewellery?
Pink Vintage Jewellery is a successful online shop specialising in handmade jewellery. With over 10000 sales and thousands of five-star reviews, I take pride in my quality and craftsmanship. Most permanent jewellery artists come from the beauty industry; however, my background is in jewellery. I have been in business for nine years and have dedicated many years to training and learning various techniques, including jewellery welding, soldering, stone setting, and other sparkly creations! If you don't believe me, check out my YouTube channel!. As a member of the Guild of Jewellery Designers and registered with the Sheffield Assay Office, you can trust that my jewellery meets the highest standards. I can personalise your pieces during your appointment, as I have years of experience in customising jewellery. If you have something special in mind, email me before your appointment at nicola@pinkvintage.co.uk. Another unique benefit of Pink Vintage Jewellery is that, as I am registered with the Sheffield Assay Office and as such, your permanent jewellery may be hallmarked. This allows me to offer a wider range of chains and stock. I can’t wait for you to choose me for your permanent jewellery experience! I promise you’ll have a fantastic time at my new venue on The Shambles. It’s going to be a fun and memorable visit!
