Be impressed by the ease and versatility of resin jewellery making.

Building on the success of her first book, well-known crafter Sara Naumann provides over 50 new projects that are modern and straightforward to replicate. She demonstrates how simple and quick resin jewellery is to make, using minimal equipment and readily available products. All relevant safety information is included, along with a troubleshooting section.

The technique is very easy: simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a mould, bezel or pendant. Sara uses pre-made, inexpensive moulds in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all achievable and look professional.

You can add numerous items to the resin to create different effects. Paper or foil inserts, for example an old photo or map, can provide a background for bezels of varying shapes and sizes, or make your own custom background by spraying or stencilling your own designs onto paper. You can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers, glitter, sequins, watch parts and gemstones, or use dyes and coloured inks to personalize.

Create a broad range of fresh, stylish projects to make your own bespoke wearables or fabulous gifts.

This is a lovely book covering how to make over 50 inspiring projects including earrings, bracelets, cuff links, necklaces and more. The author likes to use metal bezels of various shapes in the design of the jewellery. Then she uses paper, dried flowers, ink, glitter and stamping to embellish the resin which makes each item of jewellery unique. Moulds, layering and how to add colours are all explained. There is a helpful section on troubleshooting should you require it. I would recommend this book!

It is a beautiful book with over 90 quality gloss pages with loads of helpful tips and tricks to make all kinds of jewellery using resin. I can highly recommend it if you are starting out. There are ideas for using jewellery findings, colouring resin with powder and liquids, 3D inclusions and quick dry clay.
