I Got Zapped at Catbird: NYC'S Newest Jewelry Experience
As we all know, big, chunky, statement jewelry has entered the scene once again. Whether you’re wearing a La Manso Bubble Ring, or layering your new favorite M Jewelers Nameplate Necklace, how we wear our jewelry is no longer just to compliment an outfit, but to be paired and styled with it. As much as I love this trend, I still love my simple yet sentimental pieces that can be worn alone, or added to a stack. As I was scrolling through my TikTok the other day, I came across a video talking about Catbirds’ Welding Annex, where you get a chain of your choice, permanently (well, until you cut it off) zapped to your wrist.
Considering I am a sucker for any brand that offers an experience with its products, I googled my way to their reservations page and booked an appointment. Now I will say, if this is something you are interested in doing, book an appointment now because they fill up quite fast. Luckily, they have the smoothest reservation page I have ever encountered, and it literally took one minute.
My experience at catbirds welding annex
I went to Catbirds welding location in SOHO on a Friday afternoon, I was immediately welcomed and was quite pleased to see that there were only three other customers in the store, so I did not have to wait at all. Catbird honestly was the most calming store, with the kindest staff, and they had cute knickknacks everywhere. I was called over to the cashier where I was shown the options of chains that I was able to choose from.
Here they are:
Catbirds Forever Sweet nothings bracelet, which you can get for $94. It is so dainty and sparkles so much in the sun!
catbirds Forever Tinsel bracelet, which you can get for $118. So sweet and dainty, and can be added to any stack!
Catbirds Forever 1976 Bracelet, which you can get for $134. Honestly so cute and very on trend with chain links.
Catbirds Forever Tiny Corsage bracelet, which you can get for $220. The diamond is such a nice touch!
Catbirds Forever Diamond PinPrick Bracelet, which you can get for $334. Such a beautiful and meaningful piece!
After quite a bit of contemplation, I decided on the Sweet Nothings Bracelet and went over to the welding station. I sat there as the chain got secured on my wrist, and we ended up opting for a tighter fit because this chain tends to unravel and loosen over time. After a few minutes of confirming the fit, I was ZAPPED!
As I said before, I am a sucker for a brand that offers an experience with its products. So as you probably guessed it, I filmed a TikTok of my experience.
Getting zapped is such a fun and unique experience! Whether you’re getting zapped by yourself (like me,) with your BFFS, or with your special someone, I completely 100%, recommend going to Catbird. New York City is full of so many exciting activities, some of which you cannot beat anywhere else, and this is one of them. With Catbirds welding location in the heart of SOHO, you are able to get out of your apartment, or hotel if you’re visiting, and explore the beautiful city, while getting a sentimental reminder of the day.
Whether you’re getting a well-deserved self-care day, or are out with friends, go to Catbird to get zapped. I promise you will not regret it!
