Bases for DIY resin jewelry creation
Dried flowers, glitter, photos, gold leaf, little treasures from your travels… Resin lets you capture everything you love in a piece of jewelry. But you still need the right base to hold it all! Our selection of resin-ready bases includes rings, earstuds, pendants, and spacers, designed to be filled with UV resin or epoxy resin to create one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Flat-bottomed settings: rings, earstuds, spacers
Flat-bottomed settings (or cabochon settings) feature a recess with a rim that holds the resin in place: simply place your design inside and pour the resin up to the rim.
- Rings for resin casting: adjustable rings with a round or oval setting, ranging from 12 to 25 mm, for floral rings or cocktail rings.
- Earstuds for resin casting: 6 to 12 mm for discreet earstuds, round or oval, some with a loop on the back to attach a pendant.
- Spacers: 8 to 25 mm, with two rings to fit into a bracelet or necklace.
- Pendants: hollow shapes or photo frames, for a personalized locket.
Mounting rings
Without a back, mounting rings create a stained-glass effect: the design appears to float in the resin, with light shining through. Available in round, hexagonal, teardrop, crescent, half-moon, or diamond shapes, they can be purchased individually or in sets. The technique: Place the frame on clear adhesive tape, pour a thin initial layer of resin, let it cure, then add your design and finish filling the frame.
Screw-in hooks round out the collection: they are secured into a piece of molded resin to transform it into a pendant or charm.
Most of our findings are made of stainless steel, a durable material that doesn’t tarnish over time. You’ll also find finishes in fine gold plated, gold-plated, or silver, as well as raw brass that you can patinate to your liking. The dimensions, material, and ring sizes are specified on each product page.
Everything you need to create beautiful resin jewelry
Pair your bases with a UV LED resin—ideal for small pieces since it cures in just a few minutes under a lamp—or with a two-part epoxy resin for larger pieces. Then customize your creations with our dyes, microbeads, and glitter, and find the supplies you need in our resin accessories and molds. Discover the entire collection in the Resins category.
What materials can be included in the resin?
Dried flowers and leaves, glitter, microbeads, gold leaf, small beads, sand, printed paper, or photos… The inclusions must be completely dry: moisture can cloud the resin or cause the flowers to turn brown over time.
How can you prevent bubbles from forming in the resin?
Pour the resin slowly, in thin layers, and pop any bubbles that rise to the surface with a toothpick. Gently blowing warm air over the surface also helps remove them before the resin hardens.
