Facebook← Back to How to make a pendant with epoxy resin?
Yes, you can create beautiful epoxy resin pendants without using traditional moulds. Open metal bezels provide a straightforward yet versatile alternative, letting you design custom jewellery pieces simply by pouring resin into the frame.
How Open Metal Bezels Work
Open metal bezels act as shallow frames with an open centre, designed to hold resin securely in place while it cures. Rather than pouring resin into a silicone mould, you arrange your chosen bezel on a level surface covered with non-stick material (such as tape or a silicone mat) to seal the back temporarily. This forms a base and prevents leaks, allowing you to fill the bezel with clear or tinted resin and decorative inclusions.
Tips for Designing Unique Pendants
- Use premium epoxy resin for a glass-like finish and high clarity. The Evershine Collection kit is an excellent place to start, especially for beginners.
- Consider layering: pour resin in stages to add dried flowers, glitter, or pigments for depth.
- Seal with a final resin layer to encase embellishments and achieve a smooth, domed top.
- Once cured, gently remove the tape, tidy edges if needed, and attach findings for the finished pendant.
When This Matters
This approach is ideal if you prefer creating pendants in specific shapes or with open designs, want to minimise cleanup, or are just getting started without the need to purchase multiple moulds.
