Can You Embed Objects in Resin Jewellery? Tips & Guide

← Back to How to make jewellery with resin?

Embedding objects inside resin jewellery lets you create personalised, captivating pieces. From tiny dried flowers to beads and glitter, this technique brings dimension and intrigue to any pendant, earring, or ring project.

What Objects Can Be Embedded?

Many small, dry items work beautifully in resin. Popular choices include dried flowers, miniature charms, tiny beads, sequins, and fine glitters. Organic materials—like petals or leaves—should be fully dried before use to prevent discolouration or cloudiness in your finished jewellery.

How to Successfully Embed Objects in Resin

To achieve clarity and long-lasting results, prepare your items carefully and work in layers. Start by pouring a thin layer of resin as your base. Allow it to firm slightly, then position your chosen objects gently. Pour another layer of resin to encapsulate the items, repeating if needed for thicker pieces. This approach minimises bubbling and ensures your inclusions stay visible and well-protected.

Choosing a high-transparency resin such as the “Evershine Collection” Epoxy Resin Kit will further enhance the clarity around embedded objects.

When This Matters

If you want to preserve sentimental keepsakes, display botanical fragments, or customise jewellery with unique details, embedding is an essential resin technique. This method is especially valued for gifts and bespoke creations where the embedded item is central to the piece’s story.
