โ Back to Where to buy glue-on resin cabochons?


Yellowing is a common issue faced by creators of resin jewellery cabochons, often impacting the clarity and appeal of finished pieces. However, with the right materials and care, you can enjoy long-lasting brilliance in your resin creations.
Choose a Resin with UV Protection
The type of resin you use plays a key role in preventing yellowing. Opt for an epoxy resin specifically formulated with a UV filter, such as the One-2-One Epoxy Resin. This type of resin offers improved resistance to the natural discolouration caused by sunlight, helping your cabochons stay crystal clear for longer.


Smart Storage and Display Techniques
Even the best UV-resistant resin will benefit from proper handling. Store finished resin jewellery away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Consider keeping cabochons in drawers, covered containers, or shaded display cases to slow any colour changes. This is especially important for cabochons destined for long-term use in jewellery or as collectibles.
When This Matters Most
- Outdoor Markets: If selling at craft fairs, use canopies or shaded displays.
- Gift Giving: Advise recipients to store cabochon jewellery carefully to maintain its clarity.
- Showcasing: For permanent displays, choose indirect lighting to highlight your pieces without risking yellowing.
