Zapp Permanent Jewelry Welder for Beginners

A permanent jewelry welder fuses a chain or jump ring closed on the wearer, so the machine has to be safe in the hand and deliver repeatable results shot after shot. The Zapp from Orion is purpose-built for that job and aimed at beginners and aspiring permanent jewelry artists, offering a low-cost entry point without giving up quality or safety, and 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 gives you control over energy output from 3 to 10 Joules in single-Joule increments, which is the range needed to close most fine chain styles and jump rings. It is argon-ready and connects to any argon source in seconds, and welding performance is supported by Sunstone tungsten electrodes, known for delivering consistent, repeatable results.
