Permanent jewelry is Made in Mass
IT’S THIS MORNING’S MAIDEN MASS IS WHAT TYPE OF CHAIN WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT? GET FUZED JEWELRY OWNER CHRISTINE COUGHLIN IS BREAKING BARRIERS WHILE CREATING JEWELRY THAT’S DESIGNED AND THAT IS IT NOT TO BREAK. WE DO CLASS BLISS, WELDED JEWELRY USING A TUNGSTEN INERT GAS WELDER, CHRISTINE CREATES CUSTOM DESIGNED, PERMANENTLY FITTED JEWELRY. THIS IS THE WELDER. THIS IS THE LEAD. AND THIS IS THE STINGER OR THE STYLUS. IF IT SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTINE KNOWS HER WAY AROUND A WELDING MACHINE, YOU’D BE RIGHT. THAT’S BECAUSE I’VE BEEN IN THE UNION FOR TEN YEARS. I’VE BEEN WELDING FOR 15 YEARS AS A MEMBER OF LOCAL 537 PIPEFITTERS OUT OF BOSTON. CHRISTINE CAN USUALLY BE FOUND HIGH ABOVE THE CITY HELPING BUILD. IT’S EVER GROWING. SKYLINE WHEN I’M WELDING IN THE HOODS DOWN, I DON’T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING THING. I JUST COMPLETELY ZONE OUT AND I’M JAMMING OUT TO MY MUSIC. THE SISTERHOOD OF CITY CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ISN’T A LARGE ONE, BUT WHEN THEY TEAM UP LIKE THE WELDS THEMSELVES, THE BOND IS INCREDIBLY STRONG. I’M OUT OF 151 A UNION LABORER, BUT I SPECIALIZE IN FIREPROOFING. IN FEBRUARY, KAYLA ROGERS TEAMED UP WITH CHRISTINE TO LAUNCH GET FUZED. SHE KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT BUILDING SOMETHING TO LAST. THE NEW HIGH RISES THAT GO UP IN BOSTON CAMBRIDGE AREA. ALL THE NEW STEEL I SPRAY WITH MUD SO THEY DON’T BURN DOWN IT SEEMS THE TWO MAKE THE PERFECT PAIR FOR BUILDING UPON THIS FASHION TREND. IT’S BECAUSE LINKED TOGETHER THEY’VE PROVEN THEY CAN TEAR DOWN CONVERSE NATIONALLY HELD PERCEPTIONS OF THE PAST. IT WE DON’T REALLY FIT THE MOLD OF THE TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION WORKER, BUT WE AND I DEFINITELY HOLD OUR OWN WHEN YOU FUZE THOSE JUMP RINGS, IT’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD WELDER BEHIND THAT. YOU NEED A GOOD WELDER. CHRISTINE AND KAYLA PLAN ON OPENING UP THEIR OWN SHOP IN NOVEMBER. LATER THIS MONTH, THEY’RE TEAMING UP WITH MAKE-A-WISH FOR A FUNDRAISIN
