Can I Add Colour or Items to Resin Jewellery?

← Back to What are the steps to make a resin jewellery piece as a hobby?

Customising resin jewellery is one of the joys of working with resin as a creative hobby. By adding pigments, glitter, and even dried flowers, every piece can be truly unique and personal.

Ways to Add Colour and Inclusions

You can easily add colour to your resin projects using specialist resin pigments, pastes, or compatible mica powders. These blend seamlessly into clear resin, allowing you to play with shades and transparency. To create remarkable effects, try mixing in shimmery glitter or metallic flakes. For something organic, gently press dried flowers or small decorative elements into moulds after pouring your first layer of resin, then seal them with more resin for a perfectly suspended look.

Practical Guidance for Crafting

To ensure colours come out even and bright, start with a small amount of pigment and gradually add more until you reach your desired shade. Avoid overloading inclusions, as this may affect curing and clarity. Dried flowers should be fully dry and pressed to prevent moisture from causing clouding. Kits like the Evershine Collection Artisan Jewellery Epoxy Resin Kit come with a palette of pigments and botanicals, making it simple for beginners to experiment safely and creatively.

When Customisation Matters

Personalising resin jewellery is especially meaningful if you want to make gifts, commemorate an occasion, or simply stand out with your own artistic touch. Being able to add keepsakes or favourite colours turns simple resin pieces into lasting treasures.
