Selecting the right moulds is crucial for creating beautifully finished wood and resin jewellery. The proper choice ensures crisp results and simplifies the casting process, particularly for detailed or layered designs.
Why Silicone Moulds Stand Out
Silicone moulds are considered the top choice for wood and resin jewellery making. Their flexibility allows easy removal of cured resin and wood pieces without risk of damage, while their durability means repeated use for various projects. Most importantly, silicone produces a smooth, professional finish, minimising sanding and post-cure work.
- Flexible for delicate jewellery components
- Non-stick surface for easy demoulding
- Available in a wide range of shapes, from simple pendants to more intricate forms
Selecting the Best Mould Shapes and Sizes
When working with wood inclusions, choose moulds that offer enough depth for both the wood and the resin, yet aren’t so large as to make the piece heavy or uncomfortable to wear. Geometric, teardrop, or rectangular shapes are particularly popular for combining contrasting materials. Many jewellery kits include versatile silicone moulds—such as the alphabet mould in the Evershine Collection kit—ideal for customising gifts and experimenting with different finishes.
Tips for Successful Demoulding
Ensure your mould is completely clean before each use to avoid residue marks. Lightly oiling the inside is optional but can further ease demoulding, especially for thick or irregular wood sections. Pour the resin in layers when working with both wood and resin to prevent bubbles and achieve clear definition between materials.
