← Back to What do I get from resin?

Starting your journey in resin jewellery making is simpler than you might think, especially when you choose the right type of resin. Beginners can achieve great results by selecting resins designed for easy mixing and a clear, durable finish.
Why Choose Epoxy Resin for Jewellery?
Epoxy resin is a popular choice among beginner jewellery makers due to its straightforward mixing process and reliable clarity. A 1:1 mix formula is especially user-friendly, helping you create beautiful, glass-like pieces with minimal fuss. Epoxy resins also tend to self-level, making it easier to get smooth, professional results even if you’re new to the craft.
Starter Kits vs. Individual Components
For those new to resin, opting for a complete starter kit can save time and reduce errors. Kits such as the “Evershine Collection” Artisan Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit include pre-measured clear epoxy resin, pigments, dried flowers, silicone moulds, and essential tools. These all-in-one solutions are designed specifically for beginners and often include detailed instructions to guide you through each step. Choose a kit if you want an easy introduction and everything you need in one box.
Practical Tips for Beginner Resin Artists
- Measure accurately: If using resin and hardener separately, always mix according to instructions—typically an even 1:1 ratio for beginner-friendly products.
- Start with small moulds: Experiment with pendants, charms, or rings before moving to larger projects.
- Add colour carefully: Incorporate small amounts of pigment or dried flowers to personalise your pieces without overwhelming the clarity of the resin.
When Choosing the Right Resin Matters
A beginner-focused resin with a simple mix ratio and clear finish allows you to fully focus on creativity rather than complex preparation. This is especially important if you want to avoid wasted material or failed projects as you learn.
