Making your own jewelry is a fun activity. With epoxy it is not at all difficult to make your own necklace, pendant or charm. You can make exactly what you like and what suits your personality. Or you can make something new to go with your new outfit! And it is also unique.
To give you some inspiration for making your own resin art jewelry, we have described in detail in this article how you can make the most beautiful pendants and necklaces yourself.
The easiest way to make your own necklaces is by using open charm pendants and UV Resin . Simply stick a charm onto jewelry tape and pour UV Resin with your favorite decorations or color pigments into the charm. Read the section below for an extensive explanation of casting charms.
Charm pendants are ideal because they have a raised edge to catch the epoxy. If you use a charm in the color gold, silver or bronze you will also have a beautiful chain. Invest in good quality tools to ensure that your homemade chains or pendants remain beautiful in the long term.
The fun thing about making chains from epoxy is that you can make whatever you want. Immortalize your child's found four-leaf clover, your pet's lock of hair, the ashes of a deceased person or other special resin art decorations.
You can make epoxy necklaces with silicone molds or open charm pendants. An open charm is a metal frame in which you can pour the epoxy. You stick such an open charm on special epoxy tape , so that the epoxy does not flow out. After the epoxy has hardened, you can attach your homemade pendant to a chain.
You can cast epoxy very transparently. It is also possible to mix epoxy with dye pigment or glitter to give your resin art jewelry a unique color and dimension.
Place the open charm on a special tape for epoxy jewelry, so that the epoxy cannot flow underneath. Pour the UV Resin directly from the bottle into the pendant or silicone mold. Be careful not to pour too much into the pendant, you do not want the epoxy to flow over the edges. Pour the pendant halfway and let the epoxy harden in direct sunlight or under a UV LED lamp . You can then add your favorite decorations such as shells, dried flowers, stones, photos, etc. Now pour the last layer of epoxy to the edge. Once hardened, you can attach a beautiful chain from your collection or wax cord to the pendant.
It is important that the charms you choose are deep enough to hold the epoxy in place until it has hardened. Preferably choose a charm pendant that already has a connecting piece of the chain attached to it. This will save you time later, because you do not have to attach the chain to a connecting piece. You also do not have to drill a hole for the chain to come through.
The best epoxy for making jewelry such as necklaces, pendants and earrings is according to most hobbyists and professional users UV Resin . This epoxy is premixed and therefore ready to use. Normal two-component epoxy hardens within 12-24 hours and you have to mix according to a certain mixing ratio. This often goes wrong.
UV Resin is ideal for making jewelry, because this epoxy hardens within minutes by means of UV light. You can let UV Resin dry under a UV Resin LED lamp, or just in direct sunlight.
Making your own resin art necklaces and pendants is very easy with our many examples. Get inspired and make simple necklaces and pendants with epoxy casting resin.

Kan ik er ook een foto in verwerken
Hallo, Ik wil een bestaande ring waar ik de originele steen heb verwijderd vullen met de kant en klare epoxy van jullie. Dit wil ik vermengen met de as van mn moeder en evt wat kleur toevoegen. Hoe kan ik het beste te werk gaan? Alles in een keer mengen? Of laagje voor laagje. En kan ik de kast van de ring eerst ontvetten met aceton of alcohol? Groetjes en alvast bedankt Esther
