The Art of Resin Jewelry: Layering, Casting, and Mixed Media Techniques for Creating Vintage to Contemporary Designs

Resin jewelry is made from liquid plastic that solidifies when a hardener is added. The popularity of these resins for jewelry making has increased with easy-to-mix, low-odor products. Best-selling author Sherri Haab demonstrates how to create necklaces, bangles, bracelets, pins, earrings, and rings, with projects ranging from simple to sophisticated, including Bakelite-style heart pins, faux amber earrings, glitter gem bracelets, scrimshaw bracelets, cloisonné pins, and transparent resin necklaces backed with gold leaf. The book offers tips on tools, supplies, finishing, creating effects, and combining resins with polymer clay. Note: The book is an introduction to resin jewelry-making and does not specify whether the items are brand new.
