Linked for Life: Our Visit to Charm City Links & Co. in Baltimore

If you’ve been on TikTok in the last few years, you’ve probably seen the trend of permanent jewelry—and let me tell you, it’s even more fun in person. I had been thinking about it for years and I finally did it. My best friend and I recently took a trip to Charm City Links & Co., a permanent jewelry studio that opened their storefront in Baltimore County back in April 2024. We turned it into a whole girls’ morning, complete with charm shopping and anklets that will always remind us of this moment.

Charm City Links & Co. – What They Offer

Charm City Links & Co. specializes in dainty, everyday jewelry with a twist—you don’t just buy it, you get it welded on! Here’s what they offer:

• Permanent Jewelry – anklets, bracelets, necklaces, and even rings, available in 14K gold, sterling silver, gold filled, and rose gold.

• Charm Bar – a collection of charms you can mix, match, and customize for bracelets and necklaces.

• Custom Engraving – perfect for meaningful pieces or gifts.

• Pop-Ups & Parties – sometimes they host pop-ups or even private parties so you and your crew can get linked together.

They even offer free rewelding for original pieces purchased in-store, so if your jewelry ever comes off, they’ll fix it. Pro tip: if you do need to take it off, cut it at the jump ring and save it so it can be rewelded later.

For charm bracelets and necklaces, they recommend removing them for swimming and showering to keep them in great condition.

The Experience

We kicked things off by getting permanent anklets. My bestie chose the Box Link chain, while I went with the Large Paperclip Link. The process is quick and painless—just a little spark, and suddenly you’re “linked” for good. It was such a fun way to mark our friendship with something permanent (but chic).

After that, we explored the Charm Bar. Watching my friend pick out different charms felt like being a kid in a candy store—except this candy sparkles! I pointed out a few ones that were up for consideration. From dainty symbols to bold statement charms, there’s truly something for every style.

Walk-Ins or Appointments
