My gold and diamonds era

Everthine Jewelry + Fine Jewelry

As the years go on, the jewelry I want to make and wear changes. Just like me, my
jewelry matures each year. I’ve decide to add fine jewelry to my line! I’ve been learning to set diamonds, work with gold in a new way, and am taking a diamonds course to increase my diamond knowledge.

These pieces are timeless heirlooms with high quality gemstones, diamonds, and gold. I’ve never been more excited for a change in Everthine. And now, let me introduce you to my new work!

Permanent Jewelry at Everthine Jewelry in Minneapolis

The permanent jewelry trend began in Brooklyn, New York, Paris and Los Angeles in about 2018 and was brought to Minneapolis in 2021 by Everthine Jewelry. The ease of having a dainty piece of jewelry that is almost weightless, with a little sparkle, and no need to struggle with a clasp-- has drawing people to Everthine Jewelry ever since.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Permanent jewelry is also known as 'forever jewelry' and the action of welding is often referred to as “getting zapped.” Mothers and daughters, best friends, and partners make appointments to come in together. But, also people come to Everthine to treat themselves to something gold at a price point that is accessible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

At the appointment, you'll choose from a variety of sterling silver and solid 14k yellow gold chains in yellow, rose and white gold. Everthine Jewelry owner, Aisha Formanski then custom fits the chain and welds it closed creating a clasp-less, seamless accessory.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Everthine Jewelry / Aisha Formanski is a Minneapolis jewelry artist who has been creating handmade jewelry for more than 25 years. The Everthine Jewelry studio is located in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District at the historic Casket Arts Building.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Permanent Bracelets Now Available!

Permanent bracelets are now available

Everthine Ever Mine Permanent Fused Bracelets are now available! These are permanent bracelets that are fused/welded on to create a seamless, clasp-less bracelets. These dainty chain bracelets are available in 14k gold and sterling silver. 

 

What if I want more than one Ever Mine Bracelet?

When you make your appointment you'll need to choose one style fo chain. During your appointment you can choose additional chains for an additional fee. No problem!

 

Where is your studio?

My studio is located in the Casket Arts Building in Northeast Minneapolis. The address is 681 17th Ave NE, Minneapolis MN 55413. The main entrance is on 17th Ave NE. You can locate the door by the two large planters on either side of it. Come in and up to the second floor to studio 202. 

 

How long is an appointment?

I can take one person per 15 minute appointment. But, there is no limit on how many bracelets per appointment.

 

When should I arrive?

Each appointment lasts for approximately 15 min, and I recommend coming a bit early so you're ready for your appointment.

 

 

What if I'm late?

If you are late I may need to reschedule your appointment. It will all depend on if there are appointments after yours. Your tardiness can not push back everyone else's appointment. If an appointment is missed (no show, no message), there will be no refunds.

 

How much does it cost?

Pricing starts are $30, and goes up to $140. This is for a chain bracelet between 6”-8”. If you would like an anklet or longer chain there will be an additional fee to cover the additional cost of the chain.

 

 What does “fused bracelet" mean?

I will weld on a custom fitted chain bracelet to your wrist using an easy, painless process. Because the bracelet is fused on, it does not have a clasp and therefore will "permanently" stay on (until you decide to remove it).  

 

What bracelet options do you have?

I offer 14k Gold and Sterling Silver (please see important info on sterling silver below) chains.

 

 

 

There are no appointments available! Do you take walk ins?

For now I am not taking walk-ins. If you're unable to nab one of the time slots you are welcome to come and roll the dice. There may be extra time, or last minute changes to the schedule. You never know! 

 

What if I want it off?

It's easy to remove your bracelet. You can clip the chain with a finger nail trimmer or scissors.

 

Sterling Silver

If you choose a sterling silver option, you should know a few things about sterling silver. Sterling is an alloy of fine silver and copper. The copper in sterling makes it strong, but can cause a few inconveniences. Rarely some people react to sterling, causing their skin to turn green. This is easily resolved by washing off the green tint on your skin with soap. The second thing that can happen with sterling is that it can turn grey when it comes into contact with bleach, or hot tub/pool chemicals. The grey can be removed with a Pro Polish Pad.

 

What if my bracelet breaks or stretches?

Don't worry- though hardy, gold and sterling does have their limits-  if your piece breaks or stretches just keep the chain and contact me to schedule a repair for a small fee (no need to schedule a separate appointment unless you'd like to add another chain anyways.) 

 

I have a large group. Can I set up a time for us to come in?

Yes, I am happy to accommodate large group. We will work together to find a date and time that works for you. You will need to fulfill a minimum of $400 of Ever Mine Bracelets. The amount of people is flexible. A $50 non-refundable deposit will be due at the time of booking.

 

Covid-19

In an effort to keep our community healthy I am requiring proof of Covid-19 vaccination. Please bring your photo ID and vaccination card with you to your appointment. In addition, I ask that you wear a N95 or KN95 mask because we will be sitting very close to one another while your bracelets is being fused. I will have masks available just in case.

Everthine Behind the Scenes Story

I stay pretty quiet about the gears that make everything turn at Everthine. Not of purpose. I think I just get wrapped up in it, and would rather fill my social media feed with beautiful images of jewelry. But, I shared this image of me with a tower of shipping boxes in my Stories and it had more interaction than most. So, I thought I would start sharing more of the behind the scenes around here at Everthine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prior to the pandemic I was participating in 24 art shows a year. Most of my sales were done face to face out in our community. And, I loved it that way. Once we went into shut down in March of 2020, all art shows were cancelled. I pivoted, and began offering everything I make online. But, I knew that simply putting my jewelry online didn't guarantee anyone would ever find it. So, I started taking online classes, reading books and listening to podcasts all about how to improve my small business. There has been a ton to learn, but I'm now really enjoying having my business online. And, with shows coming back, I'll now be able to do both! My business is stronger than it's ever been, and I'm super proud. But, I couldn't have done any of this without you! Thank you for standing by me during the scariest time of my business life, when I thought I might lose it all.

3 Easy Ways to Figure Out Your Ring Size

3 Easy Ways to Figure Out Your Ring Size

Ring sizing can be the most challenging part of shopping for rings, especially if the ring is intended as a gift. I have three easy ways for you to determine your ring size, or a loved one's.

#1 Be Sized by a Professional

The most accurate way to measure your ring size is to be sized by a professional. Stop by Everthine Jewelry or your local jewelry store to be sized. We're are always more than happy to help. If you're not able to visit a jeweler, your next best bet is to purchase a Ring Sizer.

#2 The Adjustable Ring Sizer

This handy little finger gauge will help you determine what size will fit you best. It measures U.S. sizes 1–17 in ½ -size increments. The finger sizer works like a belt. Simply push the end through the buckle to form a ring shape. Slip the sizer onto your finger. Adjust to give a comfortable fit, checking that it just slips back over the knuckle. Purchase a Ring Sizer HERE.

#3 The Everthine Ring Sizing Guide

Use this handy FREE guide to measure a ring you already own that fits well. Open the PDF HERE, and follow the printing instructions at the top of the document. Print it out at 100% and place your ring over the circles until you find the size, bingo!

Now, that you have your ring size figured out, take a look at Everthine Jewelry's rings!
