The technique is very easy: simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a mold, bezel or pendant. Sara uses pre-made, inexpensive molds in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all achievable and look shop-bought.

You can add numerous items to the resin to create different effects. Paper or foil inserts can provide a background for the bezel, for example, old maps or photographs. Paper can be sprayed or stenciled before being coated with resin.

Review Quotes

Library Journal Review by Whitney Bates-Gomez

"Naumann's (How To Make Resin Jewellery) book opens with detailed information about the necessary tools and supplies (resin, epoxy, molds, mixing cups, and more) that are needed to make jewelry using resin. There's also a list of less conventional but useful items, such as baby wipes and straws, which experienced jewelers may think to include. The book is packed with detailed steps on every stage of the process, from mixing and pouring, to layering metallics, using color and working with 3D objects. In the projects section, the heart of the book, the author outlines specific handmade crafts but writes it much like a recipe, with the "ingredients" (materials) listed first, followed by numbered directions. All the projects include beautiful color images of the final result. One great feature is the offering of an alternative project, such as a different jewelry item or accessory, that can be made using the same materials.VERDICT A thoughtful and thorough resource that will have readers crafting with resin in no time."
