How to make trendy costume jewelry?
As you may have noticed, resin jewelry is one of the major trends in costume jewelry at the moment... and at Perles&Co, we are very happy about that! Here, we love resin and the multitude of creative possibilities it offers. Resin andacetate (two materials very close to each other) are widely used in jewelry design because they have many advantages: an unparalleled lightness, a multitude of shapes, colors and effects available (marbled, tortoiseshell, pearly...). Creating your own jewelry is therefore a real child's play and allows you to give life to all your creative ideas, even the most eccentric!
So, you may wonder how to make resin jewelry? It's simple, there are two solutions available to you:
1/ for the most creative among you, you can start making your own resin shapes for a 100% unique realization using for example silicone molds for resin and our epoxy resin or uv resin kits (it all depends on your project). To learn more about the subject, you can consult our sheet: UV resin or epoxy resin: which type of resin to choose?
2/ for a simpler and faster project, the large choice of resin and acetate pendants available on our site should help you find what you are looking for. Once you have your central piece, you can decorate it with jewelry primers and transform it into a pair of earrings or any other project of your choice.
As you've probably guessed, this is the second option we've chosen in this easy and cheap jewelry tutorial! The marbled resin pendants used in this tutorial are combined with qualitystainless steeljewelry primers to make them durable over time. No surprise, stainless steel jewelry is perfect when you want to opt for quality costume jewelry (especially in the summer). They offer us a long life, because as their name suggests, they are jewelry that do not oxidize and resist water for example.
To do this tutorial, you will need a jewelry pliers kit, a tube of jewelry glue and the list of primers listed at the bottom of the page. As mentioned above, this tutorial can be made in many variations according to your desires. You can find other colors in the list of complementary materials "variation". It's up to you to find the perfect combo that you like (and especially to share it with us on our social networks!)
