Resin Process
We use epoxy resin in our fashion jewelry because it's durable, versatile and lightweight. It allows for a wide range of colors and shape, capable of achieving multiple effects and affordable.
1. Create "Seed" Mold
Material Selection:
The material for making molds can be various, such as zinc alloy, resin, glass, etc. Among them, glass is of the highest quality and is suitable for making glossy resin molds.
2. Make Rubber Mold
Arrange the seeds neatly at the bottom of the mold. Choose an appropriate mold frame, pour in properly proportioned silicone rubber, use a vacuum machine to remove air bubbles, and place it in an oven. After 1-2 hours, the mold will take shape.
3. Mix Color and Epoxy Resin Material
According to customer requirements, mix the resin with color according to the Pantone color number.
4. Create Resin Piece
Pour the mixed resin into the mold, use a vacuum machine to remove air bubbles, and place it into oven for approximately 2 hours, then the resin dries and forms.
5. Washing & Polishing
There may be excess material around the edges of the formed resin piece, which needs to be washed away with stones to smooth the surface. Rinse the cleaned resin with water to separate the stones from the resin.
6. UV Coating
To achieve a smooth and textured surface appearance, spray a layer of transparent varnish on the surface.
