The Zapp is a purpose-built permanent jewelry welder designed specifically for beginners and aspiring permanent jewelry artists. Offering a low-cost entry point without sacrificing quality or safety, the Zapp provides a reliable foundation for launching a permanent jewelry business.
Unlike generic low-cost welders repurposed for permanent jewelry, the Zapp was engineered from the ground up for this application and is made in the USA. That means no unintended shocks or electrical jolts to you or your customers, no stylus modifications required, and no concern about using equipment that was never intended for permanent jewelry work. The Zapp is a true permanent jewelry welder built to deliver years of safe, consistent service.
The Zapp gives you control over energy output from 3 to 10 Joules in single-Joule increments — precisely the range needed to close most fine chain styles and jump rings. It is argon-ready and connects to any argon source in seconds. Welding performance is supported by Sunstone's high-quality tungsten electrodes, known for delivering consistent, repeatable results.
As your permanent jewelry business grows, the Zapp serves as a proven starting point. When you're ready to advance, Orion's professional-grade permanent jewelry welders — such as the Orion PJ — offer expanded power, finer energy control, greater precision, enhanced safety features, and deeper customization for the working professional.
