If you’re planning to craft resin pendants, a common question arises: do you really need bezels or silicone moulds to achieve a beautiful, finished look? Let’s break down their roles and how they can shape your jewellery-making experience.
What Are Bezels and Silicone Moulds?
Bezels are open metal frames that outline and contain your resin, letting you build up layers and embed decorations with precision. Silicone moulds, by contrast, are flexible forms that create pendants in various shapes and dimensions. Both help control the flow of liquid resin, protect your design during curing, and give pendants clean, well-defined edges.
Why Use Them for Resin Pendants?
Both bezels and moulds offer a reliable way to shape resin without spills or irregularities. Beginners and experienced crafters alike use them to make consistently crisp and professional pendants. Using a kit like the “Evershine Collection” with accessories, you’ll have access to both types of forms for versatile designs. Open bezels are especially popular for personalised keepsakes or when working with UV resin, as they allow creative additions like photos or dried flowers.
How to Choose the Right Method
- For simple shapes, silicone moulds make removal quick and easy, and support various effects depending on the internal texture.
- For metal-backed or framed pieces, bezels offer both structure and a decorative edge, ideal for custom jewellery including festive or themed motifs.
- Your project scale and finish preferences will guide the choice. Many starter kits offer an array of both, letting you experiment efficiently.
When This Matters
If you want a neat, consistent finish or plan to embed delicate items (like dried flowers or tiny keepsakes), bezels or moulds ensure your resin stays right where you want it—especially important for clear or detailed pendant work.
