GemOro Has a New Permanent Jewelry Machine
The Sy Kessler-owned company recently debuted the Helix Permanent Jewelry Welder.

The company, which is a division of Sy Kessler Sales Inc., recently introduced the Helix Permanent Jewelry Welder.
The professional-grade welder is easy to use, said GemOro, while also being fast and cost-effective.
“The genius of the Helix is that it’s a straightforward, intuitive, user-friendly professional welder that works like a champ, creating a perfect weld every time,” GemOro said.
The machine has a 1mm tungsten electrode that protrudes from its aluminum ergonomic stylus, explained GemOro, which is connected to the pulse-arc weld body via a flexible hose.
This maintains durability and provides an easy flow of argon gas that protects against oxidation.
For a factory direct quotation or to find a GemOro dealer, those interested can call 1-800-527-0719 or email sales@sykessler.com.
