Crystal resin – also known as epoxy resin or simply resin – is a two-component compound that hardens into a clear, shiny, and solid material when mixed with a hardener. It is used for casting jewelry, decorations and small objects, alone or with dyes, glitter and dried flowers.
What you can find with us
You have everything you need to create in one place: resin and hardeners (including our own Manumi resin and hardener line), silicone molds, silver and gold-plated beds, jewelry frames and casting components, paints, decorations and tools and accessories. Creative sets are suitable for the first step, where resin, hardener and tools are all together.
It’s great to have components in your jewellery that are so similar to glass but without its weight and practically unbreakable. With crystal resin, I can even create original cabochons for my bead weaving.

Basic information and frequently asked questions
What resin should I choose?
There are several types of resin and each has different properties – so it is useful to know in advance what kind of jewelry or object you want to create. You can choose one for casting into molds (crystal imitating glass), another for a thin shiny layer (for glazing) and another for quick small projects (UV resin).
What can I make from resin?
You can create practically anything from crystal resin – from jewelry to home decorations. You can pour it into components with beds, shape it in silicone molds or color it with special dyes.
Which findings go well with crystal resin?
Most often, resin is poured into silver and gold-plated beds or frames and other casting components, which directly form the basis of the jewelry; you can cast individual shapes in silicone molds.
How long does it take for crystal resin to harden?
It depends on the type. Classic resin hardens in about 48-72 hours, and is dry to the touch after 24 hours. UV resin hardens in a few minutes under a UV lamp. The eco-friendly alternative Reslin hardens at higher temperatures in a regular kitchen oven. You can find the exact time on the packaging of a specific product.
Are any other special tools necessary?
The basis is resin, hardener and a mold or bed; a digital scale, cups, mixers and a separator will make the work much easier. You can find everything in the Accessories and tools category. Don't forget about safety - work with gloves and in a ventilated area.
