Our Story

In a post pandemic age, founder Alex Costigan had a dream of celebrating special relationships in a creative and expressive way. Realizing how special the permanent jewelry experience is she knew her goal was to create a unique space for others to share in this dream.

Starting her business in July of 2022, Charm City Links & Co. began in a small studio space in Baltimore where she accepted appointments for one-on-one custom jewelry making experiences. Limited by space and availability, Welding Partner Ashley Chong joined the team so they could expand their reach by partnering with other businesses around Maryland and Delaware.

Fast forward to April of 2024 Alex and her growing team opened their first store in Catonsville, MD where they offer an exceptional variety of the highest quality options for customers to customize their special jewelry pieces. In addition to permanent jewelry they now offer more unique ways to customize jewelry including a charm bar and custom engraving.

Whether you’re looking to celebrate friendship, solidify memories, signify your love or host a party custom jewelry is the perfect momento.

You can connect with Links & Co. at our Catonsville Store, 

Forever jewelry for life’s special moments

Permanent jewelry, also known as “friendship jewelry” or “forever jewelry” is customized to fit perfectly to your size and welded without a clasp so it appears as an infinite loop. But don’t worry — our jewelry is only permanent for as long as you want it to be. Once you’re ready for your permanent necklace, bracelet, anklet, or ring to come off, you can carefully remove it with clippers. When you’re ready to put your jewelry back on we will reweld it for free in store.

All your questions, answered.

  • If you need to take your link off, we suggest you cut it at the jump ring and save it. We offer free welding for customers that purchased their links from us.

    No need to make an appointment. You can drop into the store during normal hours.

    If you have a piece from another company we can weld yours back on for $25 or free if you choose to purchase another piece from us while you're in store.

  • We guarantee the strength of the jump ring that is welded. Some chains are more likely to stretch or break than others. We offer a really wide variety of strong options if this is a concern.

    If your chain breaks we offer to reweld it for free but we will not replace lost chains.

  • Great question - We offer the highest quality links available but there are very rare circumstances when chemicals and natural PH levels don't agree with jewelers brass and sterling silver. If this is a concern we encourage customers to choose 14k gold options.

    We're confident in our quality and always work with customers that have any issues.

    its important to note one significant reaction can happen between sterling silver and high levels of sustained chlorine exposure. Avoid public hot tubs. If you do find issue, you can easily polish your silver back to its original glory.

  • We encourage customers to take their charm jewelry off before swimming and showering to keep them in beautiful condition. Avoid spraying perfumes and sunscreens on them as well.

    Most of our charms are made from 18k gold plated brass which is a great quality for the value.. Cared for, you jewelry should last.
