Which Resin Colourant is Best for River Tables or Jewellery?

Choosing the right colourant can elevate your resin projects, whether you’re creating striking river tables or delicate resin jewellery. The final effect—bold and solid, or luminous and transparent—depends on the colourant you select.

Solid Colours for River Tables

For river tables or any application where you want bold, saturated hues, a dedicated epoxy resin paste like Colourfun is ideal. These pastes are specifically formulated to mix smoothly with epoxy, producing rich, opaque colour. Just a small amount will transform large volumes of resin, giving economical, streak-free coverage. They’re perfect for creating deep blues, vivid greens, or even custom shades by mixing pastes together.

Transparent Effects for Jewellery

If you’re aiming for light-catching, glass-like effects as seen in resin jewellery and crystal imitations, opt for a transparent dye like the Magic Crystal range. These colourants are developed to maintain clarity and brilliance, blending easily so you can layer or mix unique jewel tones. They’re specifically suited for fine detail work, such as jewellery, where maintaining transparency is key to achieving vivid and natural-looking pieces.

When This Matters

Your choice of colourant really matters when your project calls for a particular finish. For tables and décor, strong coverage is often the priority, while jewellery and geode-style projects benefit from crystal-clear tones. Always check resin and colourant compatibility before committing to a colour system for your craft.
