8 Reasons Why Permanent Jewelry Artists Prefer Orion™
Thane Kennedy
Product Manager
Here's why an Orion permanent jewelry welder will be your most important tool and how it will help you build your business:
1. AVOID UNWANTED SHOCKS
An Orion permanent jewelry welder is CE and NRTL certified. The design of the welder has been duly examined and found to be safe. Unbranded welders may have a CE sticker slapped on the front, but without any manufacturer information (name, address, phone number) the certification is highly suspect.
2. SELECT ENERGY LEVELS CLEARLY AND EASILY
With an Orion permanent jewelry welder, you simply use your finger to select the amount of energy you need to close a link. The energy level is clearly displayed. With an unbranded welder, selecting the right amount of energy is a combination of selecting a power percentage (percentage of what?), amount of time in milliseconds—which is not so clear and easy.
3. USE A TOOL DESIGNED FOR JEWELRY
The Orion PJ and Orion mPulse were specifically designed for jewelers and/or permanent jewelry artists, which makes them easy to learn, simple to use, and highly predictable. The unbranded welder originates from a 20-year old ortho lab design, is over powered and outdated.
4. RELY ON MADE-IN-THE-USA QUALITY DURABILITY
Every Orion permanent jewelry welder is designed by US engineers and assembled by a US workforce. When you purchase an Orion you’re purchasing quality and durability—which is important when you’re moving your welder from one event to another!
5. COUNT ON A 2-YEAR WARRANTY
Sunstone backs up every Orion permanent jewelry welder with a two-year warranty. You can also protect your Orion welder for as long as you own it by joining the Sunstone Circle. With an unbranded welder, a warranty may or may not be available depending upon the seller.
6. GET HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
Orion permanent jewelry welders are backed by a US-based customer service team you can reach by text, phone, or e-mail. We love to answer questions and help you improve your welding skills. That level of service is probably not available with an unbranded welder.
7. TRUST IN A PREFERRED BRAND
Orion permanent jewelry welders have been helping PJ artists close jump rings and open chain links from the very beginning. PJ artists love our permanent jewelry welders for their simplicity and dependability, but they rave about our customer service. We’re here to help you succeed.
8. SUPPORT A BRAND INVESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS
We’re active on social media accounts helping PJ artists learn, grow, and succeed. Sunstone also organizes the annual Permanent Jewelry Expo to help PJ artists network, learn, and build a trusted supply chain. Lean more a at www.pjexpo.org. Unbranded welders are not re-investing in your success.
