Fine resin jewelry

Resin is becoming a popular material for making fashion jewelry. They look more like that of the rubber jewelry when used as the decorative. It can be molded into any form, shape and size. It is often painted or cast in the desired color. The white resin is the most suitable of all type of resins for making fashion jewelry. The finished product that is obtained only after the casting work is done looks more like that of ivory. Resin is cast as a pourable liquid which is flexible and can also hold stones if required. There are different types of resins used for making various types of cheaper designer necklaces; acrylics, polyesters, urethanes and epoxies are some such types. The best part of this material is that the jewelers can curve it to any shape and sizes, which they cannot experiment with the expensive metals.
