← Back to Which resin is most suitable for jewellery?

If you’re taking your first steps in resin jewellery making, knowing the correct mixing ratio is essential. The right method not only simplifies the crafting process but helps guarantee consistently beautiful results with your kit.
Understanding the 1:1 Mixing Ratio
Most beginner-friendly epoxy jewellery kits, such as the Evershine Collection, feature a straightforward 1:1 resin to hardener ratio by volume. This means you simply combine equal parts of each component. The approach removes complicated calculations, making it ideal for those just starting or looking for quick, reliable results.
Practical Steps for Mixing Your Resin
- Measure carefully: Use two clean measuring cups to pour equal volumes of resin and hardener.
- Mix thoroughly: Combine both parts in a single cup and stir slowly for a few minutes, scraping the sides and base to avoid unmixed pockets.
- Use promptly: Once mixed, the resin will begin to react and set within its working time, so pour into your moulds without delay.
Many kits include gloves, mixing sticks and clear instructions to give you confidence at each stage.
When This Matters: Getting Flawless Finishes
Precise measuring and mixing are especially important for clear jewellery, thin castings, or embedding delicate details. A 1:1 ratio supports even curing and helps minimise bubbles or tackiness, giving you more predictable, glass-like finishes time after time.
