01Key Facts

Epoxy Resin Jewellery Key Facts

Which epoxy resin is best for jewellery making in India?

Lapox Metalam System B by Atul Ltd is the most widely used resin for jewellery and keychain casting in India — a 2:1 mix with a 30–40 minute pot life that demoulds in 24 hours. Bondone ClearLam CC (₹796 per 1.5 kg) is the alternative for flat lamination, coaster topcoats, and embedded-flower pieces.

How much does it cost to make one resin keychain?

8 to 12 rupees in resin, 2 to 5 rupees in findings and packaging — under 20 rupees per piece. With wholesale packs the resin cost drops to ₹5–6, while pieces sell for ₹80–200 on Instagram and Etsy India.

How long does epoxy resin take to cure for jewellery?

24 to 48 hours to demould hardness, and 5 to 7 days to full cure. Wear or stress pieces only after the full week — demoulding early gives soft pieces that distort.

02Why Epoxy

Why Epoxy Resin for Jewellery?

Epoxy cures to a crystal-clear, glass-hard finish that looks premium even when made at home — no expensive equipment, just a mould, a mixing cup, and patience.

Unlike polymer clay, resin jewellery doesn't require kilns or specialised tools. As covered in our complete guide to epoxy resin in India and art resin in India, choosing the right resin type for your project is critical.

The key advantage of epoxy over UV resin is cost per ml and depth capability. UV resin requires a UV lamp and is expensive in bulk. Epoxy handles thicker castings like keychains and pendant domes, and costs significantly less per gram when buying 1 kg or larger sets.

03Which Resin

Which Epoxy Resin to Use for Jewellery in India?

Not all epoxy is the same. Industrial flooring epoxy is too thick and not optically clear — you need a low-viscosity, crystal-clear casting resin designed for decorative applications.

What You Need — Materials List

Everything below is available on Amazon India or from us directly. Total starter cost: roughly ₹2,000–2,500 including resin.

  • Silicone jewellery moulds — keychain, teardrop, oval, dome shapes (Amazon India, ₹300–800/set)
  • Digital weighing scale — essential for accurate mix ratio; never estimate by eye
  • Disposable mixing cups and wooden sticks — 100 ml cups work for jewellery quantities
  • Epoxy pigment powder or alcohol ink — available on Amazon India and local craft stores
  • Butane torch or heat gun — to remove surface bubbles
  • Nitrile gloves — uncured epoxy is a skin irritant
  • Embeds — dried flowers, glitter, gold foil, shells, photos (seal photos with mod podge first)
  • Keyring findings, earring hooks, pin backs — local jewellery supply stores or Amazon India

India buying tip: search "epoxy resin jewellery moulds India" on Amazon — sets of 20–50 moulds cost ₹300–800. For pigments and alcohol inks, search "resin pigment India" or check local art supply stores.

05Step by Step

How to Cast Epoxy Resin Jewellery

Five steps between you and your first finished pendant. Take your time on step two — every failed piece I've seen traces back to the mix.

Real story: Last year a customer from Noida called me at 10 PM — her resin hadn't cured after three days. Turns out she was using a kitchen scale that measures in 1g increments. For a 10g + 5g batch, that's a 10% margin of error. She's now one of my best customers — and owns a proper jewellery scale.

1

Prepare Your Workspace

Work on a flat, level surface. Cover with a silicone mat or cling wrap (resin doesn't stick to silicone or polyethylene). Work in low humidity — ideally below 60%. Avoid fans blowing directly over open moulds as dust settles into uncured resin.

2

Measure and Mix Accurately

For Lapox Metalam System B, weigh 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight. For a small batch, 10 g resin + 5 g hardener fills 3–4 keychains. Stir slowly and steadily for 3–4 minutes, scraping sides and bottom. Slow mixing reduces bubble formation. The mix will look slightly cloudy while stirring — this is normal.

3

Add Colour and Embeds

Add pigment powder or 2–3 drops of alcohol ink after mixing. For transparent coloured pieces use very little; for opaque use more. Place embeds (flowers, foil, glitter) directly in the mould before pouring, or pour a base layer, let it gel for 3–4 hours, then place embeds and top up.

4

Pour and Remove Bubbles

Pour slowly from low height. Overfill slightly as resin shrinks a tiny amount. Within 5–10 minutes, pass a lit butane torch about 10 cm above the surface in a sweeping motion. Bubbles pop immediately. Repeat 2–3 times over 30 minutes. Cover moulds with a cardboard box (not plastic) during the 24–48 hour cure.

5

Cure and Demould

Leave undisturbed for 24–48 hours at room temperature. Flex the silicone mould gently to release pieces. Sand edges lightly with 400-grit if needed. Attach findings with super glue or drill a small hole. Full cure takes 5–7 days — avoid chemicals and scratching until then.

Safety warning: always wear nitrile gloves when handling uncured epoxy. Repeated skin contact can cause allergic reactions over time. Work in a ventilated room. Once fully cured, epoxy resin is completely inert and safe to wear.

06Mistakes

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong mix ratio: Even 10% off can result in a sticky, never-curing piece. Always weigh, never estimate.
  • High humidity: Above 65% humidity causes a white surface haze called "blush". Work in AC or on dry winter days.
  • Rushing demould: Demoulding too early gives soft pieces that distort. Wait the full 24 hours minimum.
  • Bad scale, bad results: A girl in Ghaziabad was rushing to pack an Etsy India order. She demoulded after 12 hours — the earring bent in her hand. She had to redo seven pieces. I told her to let it sit overnight. The courier can wait 24 hours.
  • Mumbai monsoon disaster: A customer from Mumbai messaged me on Instagram last July — all her pieces had a milky white haze. Monsoon humidity was hitting 85% in her room. I told her to work under the AC for a few hours. She sent me a photo of clear pieces the next day. Now she keeps a humidity meter next to her moulds.
  • Unsealed photos: Unprotected paper absorbs resin and turns transparent or yellow. Seal with mod podge first.
  • Wrong resin type: Flooring or structural epoxy is not suitable — it's too viscous and not optically clear.

08FAQ

At ₹950 for a 1.5 kg set, it delivers a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish suitable for pendants, earrings, and keychains. Bondone ClearLam CC at ₹796 for 1.5 kg is a good alternative for flat lamination and coaster topcoats. Both are available pan-India from Si Epoxy Adhesives via WhatsApp.

How do I remove bubbles from epoxy resin jewellery?

Pass a butane torch briefly over the surface 5–10 minutes after pouring. The heat breaks surface tension and pops bubbles instantly.
