Momentum Permanent Jewelry Starter Kit with a Zapp® Welder

The Sunstone Momentum Kit Is the Lowest-Risk Way to Launch Your Permanent Jewelry Business

Everything in one box — welder, tools, chain, argon, and professional training — for less than the cost of building it yourself piece by piece.

Starting a permanent jewelry business doesn't have to mean months of research, piecemeal purchasing, or wondering if you're buying the right things. The Sunstone Momentum Permanent Jewelry Starter Kit cuts through all of that. It bundles the Zapp™ permanent jewelry welder, a complete professional tool kit, 21 feet of certified gold and silver chain, jump rings for 50 bracelets, two Argon Mini tanks with regulator, and full A-to-Z video training — all at a price that's been bundled to save you over 30% versus buying each item separately.

This is the kit for someone who wants to start small, start smart, and start today. And when you order from The Maker's Chest, you get a full 75 days to decide — plus expert USA-based support and dual lines of help, so you're never left on your own.

The Zapp™ Welder — Purpose-Built for Permanent Jewelry

At the heart of the Momentum Kit is the Sunstone Zapp™ permanent jewelry welder — the only entry-level pulse arc welder on the market designed specifically for permanent jewelry, not repurposed from another application.

• 3–10 Joule energy range in single-Joule increments — the perfect range for closing the most popular fine chain styles
• No unintentional shocks — engineered to eliminate the safety issues common in off-brand welders
• Argon-ready out of the box — connect to the included Argon Mini tanks in seconds for cleaner, stronger welds
• Made in the USA with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty

The Zapp is reliable, repeatable, and straightforward to learn — exactly what you need when you're building skill and confidence at the same time.

The PJ Tool Kit — Every Tool You'll Actually Use

You shouldn't have to guess what tools you need. The Sunstone Permanent Jewelry Tool Kit included in the Momentum Kit was assembled by the people who've trained thousands of permanent jewelry artists. Inside you'll find:

• 2 precision chain pliers — for closing links cleanly without scratching
• High-quality chain cutter — built for fine permanent jewelry chain, not hardware store wire
• Pilot electrode sharpener — keeps your tungsten electrode sharp for consistent welds, session after session
• 3 ft of silver practice chain — so you build your technique before you weld on a customer
• Leather safety patch — placed between the chain and your client's skin during welding
• 2 shade-5 safety glasses — one for you, one for your client
• Sunshine jewelry cleaner — for a polished, professional finish after every weld
• Door cling graphic — market your new service the moment the kit arrives

Everything is quality-selected. Nothing is filler.

21 Feet of Certified Chain + Jump Rings for 50 Bracelets

The Momentum Kit includes 21 feet of premium, certified permanent jewelry chain in a curated mix of gold and silver top-sellers — including paperclip, curb, cable, and enamel designs that customers consistently choose most. You'll also receive enough jump rings to complete 50 bracelets in both gold and silver.

This is real inventory you can sell from immediately. At a typical price of $60–$90 per bracelet, 21 feet of chain and 50 sets of jump rings can generate enough revenue to cover your kit investment within your first few events.

The numbers work. The chain is ready. You just need to start.

Argon Mini® — Clean Welds Without the Bulk

The Momentum Kit ships with two Argon Mini® tanks and a tank regulator — Sunstone's small-format argon solution built for artists on the go. The Argon Mini fits in a tote bag, a backpack, or your welder carrying case. There's no lugging a full-size argon cylinder to a farmers market or boutique pop-up.

Welding with argon means cleaner welds, less oxidation, and a better-looking finish — the kind of result that makes customers post their bracelet on social media before they even leave your table. The regulator ensures a steady, controlled argon flow every time you connect.

Full A-to-Z Training via PJ University

The Sunstone PJ University training program is included with every Momentum Kit — and it's not a quick-start PDF. It's 40 in-depth video lessons covering everything you need to know: how to set up your welder, how to perform your first weld, chain types and settings, client safety, and how to build a real, bookable permanent jewelry business.

Sunstone has nearly 20 years of micro welding expertise behind this curriculum. You'll learn from people who've trained professional jewelry artists at scale — not from a YouTube tutorial you hope is accurate.

By the time your kit arrives and you've worked through the training, you'll be ready for your first customer — not still guessing.

Is the Momentum Kit Right for You?

The Momentum Kit is the right starting point if:

• You want to minimize upfront investment while still having everything you need to operate professionally
• You're planning to sell at occasional events — farmers markets, home parties, pop-ups — rather than running a high-volume studio
• You want to validate the business before scaling your inventory and equipment
• You're confident learning independently with video training and can reach out to support when you have questions

It's worth stepping up to the Dream Kit if you want one-on-one mentoring built in, more chain inventory, and the upgraded Zapp Plus® 2 welder with its digital dial and wider power range.

Not sure which kit is right for you? Contact our team — we'll help you make the right call for your goals and budget, not just sell you the most expensive option.

Why Buy from The Maker's Chest?

As an authorized Sunstone reseller, we carry the same kit, the same welder, and the same full manufacturer warranty. But we give you more on top of it:

• 75-day returns. Sunstone's own return window is 30 days — and comes with a restocking fee. Ours is 75 days, no runaround.
• Expert USA-based technical support. When you have a question about your first weld, your argon setup, or your energy settings, our team has real answers.
• Dual lines of support. You have access to our expert team and Sunstone's manufacturer support simultaneously. Two lines of help, not one.
• We specialize in this. Permanent jewelry equipment is our world. The person helping you knows what they're talking about.

Buying a kit like this is a real investment. You deserve a retailer who's accountable to you long after the package arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly comes in the Momentum Permanent Jewelry Starter Kit? The Momentum Kit includes: the Sunstone Zapp™ permanent jewelry welder (with power adapter, cord, stylus, electrodes, and argon tubing), the full Sunstone PJ Tool Kit (pliers, chain cutter, electrode sharpener, practice chain, leather safety patch, safety glasses, jewelry cleaner, and a door cling), 21 feet of certified gold and silver permanent jewelry chain in top-selling styles, jump rings for approximately 50 bracelets, two Argon Mini® tanks with a tank regulator, and full access to Sunstone's PJ University video training program (40 lessons).

Is the Momentum Kit a good choice for a complete beginner? Yes — it was specifically designed for first-timers who want to start lean and build from a strong foundation. The Zapp welder is straightforward to learn, the tool kit is fully curated so you're not guessing, and the 40-lesson PJ University training walks you through everything from setup to your first sale. You don't need prior jewelry or welding experience.

How much money can I make with the chain and jump rings included in the kit? The 21 feet of chain and jump rings for 50 bracelets give you real, sellable inventory. At the typical permanent jewelry pricing of $60–$90 per bracelet, you could generate enough revenue to cover the full kit cost within your first two to three events. Many artists at busy farmers markets or home parties complete 10 or more bracelets in a single session.

What's the difference between the Momentum Kit and the Dream Kit? The Momentum Kit uses the Zapp™ welder; the Dream Kit upgrades to the Zapp Plus® 2, which has a digital energy dial, a 72" stylus, a wider 1–30 Joule power range, and a power-lock feature. The Dream Kit also includes more chain inventory (27 ft vs. 21 ft) and adds one-on-one mentoring alongside the video training. If budget allows and you want a mentor in your corner during your launch, the Dream Kit is worth the upgrade. If you want to minimize your initial spend and are comfortable learning with video training and support, the Momentum Kit is a great starting point.

Does the Momentum Kit include argon gas? Yes — it includes two Argon Mini® tanks and a tank regulator. The Argon Mini is Sunstone's portable small-format argon solution, designed for pop-ups and mobile events. You won't need to source argon separately to get started.

Does the training included in the kit teach me how to run a business, not just weld? Yes. Sunstone's PJ University covers both the craft and the business side: welding technique, chain and metal types, client safety, booking clients, pricing your services, and building your brand. It's a full-curriculum program, not just a quickstart guide.

Is the 3-year warranty still valid when I buy through The Maker's Chest? Yes. As an authorized Sunstone reseller, all manufacturer warranties are fully intact. Your Zapp welder is covered by the same 3-year manufacturer's warranty as buying directly from Sunstone. The optional Sunstone Circle "forever warranty" protection plan is also available at checkout.

What is your return policy? We offer a 75-day return window — more than twice Sunstone's standard 30-day policy. If the Momentum Kit isn't the right fit for your situation, reach out to our team within 75 days and we'll work with you.

Can I upgrade the welder or add optics later? Yes. The Zapp welder is compatible with Sunstone's optic options, including the Basic ADL (auto-darkening lens) and the PJ Scope. When you're ready to upgrade to a more powerful welder like the Zapp Plus® 2 or the Orion mPulse, your tool kit, chain, and accessories carry over — you only replace what you need to.

Is permanent jewelry welding safe? Yes — when performed with a certified welder like the Zapp, permanent jewelry is safe. The Zapp is engineered to prevent unintentional shocks and designed with permanent jewelry safety in mind. Proper practice includes using the leather safety patch between the chain and your client's skin, ensuring grounding is secure before welding, and following the safety guidelines in the included operator's manual. The PJ University training also covers client safety protocols in detail.

Can I get support setting up and calibrating the kit after it arrives? Yes. Our USA-based expert team is available to help you troubleshoot your setup, dial in your energy settings for different chain types, and answer any questions that come up as you learn. You also have access to Sunstone's manufacturer support as a second line of help — two layers of expertise, not one.
