What Can Be Safely Embedded in Resin Pendants?

Ideal Items for Embedding

Dry, non-porous materials are best suited for inclusion in resin pendants. These include:

• Dried flowers or leaves
• Small metal charms
• Mica flakes or glitter
• Miniatures or decorative beads

Organic matter must be fully dried to avoid discolouration or cloudiness. Items containing moisture or not fully sealed may react poorly with resin, leading to unwanted effects.

Practical Tips for Beautiful Results

Before embedding, make sure your inclusions are completely clean and dry. Arrange smaller objects in moulds using tweezers for precise placement. Consider using a clear, bubble-resistant resin like the “Evershine Collection” kit, which is designed for detail work and comes with dried flowers and accessory options. Avoid porous or unsealed items—they can cause bubbles or haze during curing.

When This Matters

Choosing suitable inclusions is particularly important for pendants meant to preserve sentimental items or when aiming for a professional finish. Carefully selected materials help ensure your pendant remains clear, glossy, and free from unexpected reactions over time.
