It’s just a short walk from the Altrincham Metrolink station to the in-store LOOKFANTASTIC event, with parking available at the nearby Stamford Quarter Car Park.

What are welded bracelets? 

Welded bracelets, otherwise known as ‘seamless bracelets’, ‘permanent bracelets’ or ‘forever bracelets’, feature a continuous chain that doesn’t fasten with a clasp – instead, the bracelet is welded around the wearer’s wrist. Charms can be added too, such as gems, birthstones or initials.

Why welded bracelets are 2025’s hottest jewellery trend

Permanent jewellery like welded bracelets is one of the biggest viral jewellery trends for 2025. The neverending chain can represent love or friendship, which is why couples, best friends or mums and daughters often get matching welded bracelets.

Seamless bracelets can be made completely unique, so they’re a great way to show your personality and make a real statement with your jewellery.

Welded bracelets are an in-store experience you can’t get online, so going along with a loved one to choose your new matching or complementary jewellery is the ideal Galentine’s, Valentine’s or Mother’s Day experience.

Bethy Highton, store manager at Hill & Hill The Jewellers, says: “Welded bracelets are the most exciting jewellery trend right now. They’re the perfect, collectable way to express your feelings and style with unique charms. We all loved friendship bracelets as kids – these are the adult version!”
