Which Resin Suits Memorial Jewellery with Ashes and Silver?

Crafting memorial jewellery with ashes and silver is a delicate process that requires the right type of resin for both clarity and strength. Choosing the appropriate epoxy ensures your keepsake remains beautiful and durable over time.

Choosing Resin by Casting Thickness

The thickness of your pendant or keepsake piece determines which resin to use for the best results:

For jewellery less than 2cm thick, opt for an ultra-clear resin like Trasparente. Its clarity is suited for intricate designs and visible ashes or silver inclusions.
For pieces thicker than 2cm, a deep-pour resin such as EpoxyTable 5-Five can be used. This resin is formulated for thicker layers without the risk of overheating, making it suitable for larger pendants or keepsake blocks.

Tips for Working with Ashes and Silver

Careful preparation makes all the difference in memorial jewellery:

Ensure ashes are completely dry and free from debris before embedding.
If including silver, clean and polish the pieces first to prevent cloudiness in the resin.
Work in thin layers to avoid heat build-up and achieve a bubble-free finish, especially for smaller items.
Always follow the mixing instructions provided with your chosen resin for optimal results.

When Attention to Resin Choice Matters

If you’re crafting jewellery to last a lifetime or passing keepsakes to others as a cherished memory, the clarity and durability of your resin are crucial. The right resin will ensure the ashes and silver are clearly visible, secure, and protected against environmental factors over time.
