← Back to how to do it with resin

Diving into resin jewellery making is an exciting way to create personalised pieces. With the right approach and materials, even beginners can achieve stunning results.
Choose the Right Starter Kit
For beginners, opting for a straightforward kit will help you focus on the creative process without feeling overwhelmed. Kits designed for jewellery usually include crystal-clear epoxy with a simple 1:1 mix ratio, along with basic moulds, pigments, and decorative additions like dried flowers. The Evershine Collection jewellery resin kit includes everything needed to experiment with colour, inclusions, and finishing touches, making it an ideal choice for beginners.
Mixing, Pouring, and Personalisation Tips
Always follow the kit’s instructions carefully—especially the recommended resin-to-hardener ratio—to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. Start by pouring small batches into smaller silicone moulds, which are easier to handle and cure more quickly. Add interest to your designs by incorporating dried flowers, metallic flakes, or a small amount of pigment for colour. Don’t rush the process; allow each layer to cure properly before removing your piece from the mould for best clarity and durability.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
- Overfilling moulds: Pour slowly and avoid overfilling for neat edges.
- Incorrect mixing: Thoroughly stir resin and hardener, scraping the sides and base to mix evenly.
- Impatience: Let each layer cure fully; premature demoulding can distort your work or leave surfaces tacky.
When This Matters
Starting with a beginner-friendly kit and taking your time is vital if you want to achieve professional-looking results straight away, especially when gifting or selling resin jewellery. Good preparation and patience lead to jewellery you’ll be proud to wear or give.
