5 /5 Mary Ann Caliva: Jacky, the owner is the sweetest and very patient. Ever since I heard about permanent jewelry, I have been wanting to get an anklet. I don’t wear anklets because I must admit mine are skinny and it’s hard to find one that isn’t too big or small. I got my ankles from my mama. Haha
Permanent jewelry it made sense, having one sized for me would be best. I’ve been lookin at pricing too so someone who budgets my “wants,” I’ve been saving.
Moving forward, I found a person who does permanent jewelry at a pop-up in my hometown but I was always unavailable when she would do it. She let me know I could gather 5 of my friends and have a jewelry party but it’s so hard to gather everyone at the same time even for coffee. Today, I was in the San Jose area, and there are so many random places in the bay so I decided to look up permanent jewelry. That’s where Flamingo Permanent Jewelry popped up. There was only a phone number so I called it. I started speaking to Jacky. I asked her about the cost, the process, and if her items are nickel free. The cost is reasonable, the process is quick (no more than 30 minutes), and it’s nickel free. Jacky told me usually I have to set up an appointment but since she was open today she would take me in last minute. I am so thankful she did. The location wasn’t hard to find because she sent me a picture of the building. Upon entering the building, it was quiet and very clean. The room she does her jewelry in is small but the perfect size for at least 2-3 people if you are doing it with others. Jacky has a lot of choices with charms which I did opt out because the chain I chose had hearts. I’m simple and I like dainty prints which this was perfect.
What I appreciated the most about Jacky was that she was experienced, quick, and helped me decide on the length. Her expertise was really needed because I am very indecisive. I wasn’t sure how an anklet should feel but she reassured me if I broke it or had issues I could reach out to her. I didn’t feel pressured and she gave me enough time to decide if the anklet felt just right. Thanks Jacky for your great service and making my first experience with permanent jewelry enjoyable.
