Can I Add Flowers or Pigments to My Resin Jewellery?

Personalising your resin and wood jewellery with dried flowers, pigments, or glitter is a popular and creative approach. With the right preparation and knowledge, you can safely embed decorative elements and achieve stunning results.

Choosing and Preparing Inclusions

When deciding to add flowers, pigments, or glitter to resin jewellery, it’s important to ensure that all inclusions are both dry and compatible with resin. Moisture can affect the curing process, potentially leading to cloudiness or poor bonding. Allow any organic materials, like flowers, to dry completely before use—air-dried or pressed flowers work best. For pigments and glitters, select products explicitly formulated for resin to avoid uneven finishes or colour shifts.

Mixing and Testing for Best Results

Begin by creating a small test piece with your chosen inclusion and resin mixture. This step helps you observe the reaction between resin and decorative materials before committing to a final piece. When mixing, always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines—using an easy 1:1 resin kit such as the Evershine Collection streamlines the process for both beginners and seasoned crafters. Techniques like layering, swirling pigments, or encapsulating flowers allow for creative effects but always pour resin in thin layers for clarity and to prevent overheating.

When This Matters

Adding inclusions shines in projects where you wish to make keepsakes, personalised gifts, or capture natural beauty within jewellery. This method suits everything from pendants and earrings to keychains—just ensure good compatibility and preparation for a long-lasting, clear finish.
