The nation’s leading expert In permanent jewelry design
Meet Claire— Loveweld’s lead designer
At Loveweld, permanent jewelry isn’t an afterthought — it’s the starting point.
Every chain, charm, and detail is thoughtfully designed for everyday wear, blending comfort, durability, and timeless style. We sat down with Claire to talk about what makes designing for permanent jewelry different — and what sets Loveweld apart.
“We design with permanent wear in mind.” — Claire Patterson
Claire and Chelsea Fullerton-Jones with Jones Studio working on Loveweld brand identity 2023.
Q: How does designing permanent jewelry differ from regular jewelry?
“When I design for permanent jewelry, I keep in mind that my client is anticipating wearing this permanently — so I want to make sure there is nothing that will poke or catch on clothing. I choose stones and metals that will withstand the test of time, and I purposefully avoid tight crevices or open backings behind stones that can collect gunk.
At Loveweld, we focus on in-line charm styles instead of lots of dangles, so they’re inset into the bracelet in a streamlined way and less prone to catching or tugging. But we do still have some dangle charms for the dangle girlies ;)”
Q: What are your favorite Loveweld designs?
THE EMERALD EYED FROG
“I’m a big frog fan, and when our founder shared the inspiration behind this design, I was all-in. It’ll be the next addition to my stack — I’m excited to combine all of my charms from over the years into one Love Story bracelet.”
THE ROMEO CHAIN
“We partnered with an incredible Italian chain manufacturer to create these beautiful mixed Yellow & White Gold chains. I’ve always encouraged clients to mix metals, and now it feels more mainstream than ever. Romeo makes it effortless — and this flat Mariner style chain is SO comfy.”
THE CINDRE x LOVEWELD CHARM
“Sarah came to me early on wanting to collaborate on a charm with my jewelry brand, Cindre. At the time, I was only working in Sterling Silver, so creating in 14K Gold and Diamonds was incredibly exciting. My signature detail is tiny diamonds set into each end of the tubing — they create a subtle sparkle that clients love discovering.”

Q: How has your interiors background influenced the Loveweld studio experience?
“I studied metalsmithing in college, but spent much of my twenties working in luxury residential and commercial interior design in Chicago. That experience helped tremendously as Loveweld expanded into more retail spaces.
We wanted our studios to feel like living rooms — warm, collaborative, and comfortable — while still using commercial-grade materials that stand up to the demands of retail.
The goal is to create a space where clients and welders can sit together, collaborate, and create heirloom pieces that feel deeply personal.”
