Resin was originally developed as a manufacturing material and comes in both synthetic and natural formulations. Typically, resin refers to compounds in liquid form that harden under heat, light, or other setting agents. When hardened, resin is incredibly strong and can add a translucent or opaque layer of color to a variety of projects. For this reason, resin has become a popular crafting element in multiple categories, from live edge woodworking to jewelry making.
Resin can be used to create beads, earrings, pendants, charms, and more, each with their own processes and tricks for makers to learn. The process for making resin jewelry differs depending on the type of jewelry and the design being made. In general, the processes consist of combining liquid resin with hardener while creating the desired design and colors. Usually, the resin and other elements are poured into a mold to harden into the desired shape. Then, once the resin pieces are finished, the maker will begin to attach them to their jewelry wire or other supplies in order to make them wearable.
In some cases, the designs are created by simply mixing together different colors of resin or adding dye to the resin. Colors can be suspended inside translucent resin or opaque on their own. However, perhaps the most common style of resin jewelry is suspending decorative elements or objects inside of clear resin. Almost any small object -- dried flowers, small plastic pieces, metals, glitter -- can be encased in resin. Additionally, resin can be poured and hardened in a dome shape on top of a flat design, like printed paper or stamped metal.
We know makers like to improvise and experiment, and sometimes, they like to bend the rules. Experimentation goes a long way when developing their own jewelry crafting style, and you may be surprised just how unique and inventive jewelry makers can be when it comes to their resin molds.
