Using Resin In Jewelry?

Resin. Yep, using resin in jewelry is a new and awesome way in which to create pieces of wearable art with raw and natural appeal. A substance created from plant-life, this dino-age fluid hardens over time. While moist, it can also be used to produce incense, perfumes, colognes and oils of a variety of scents.

When hardened, resin isn't exactly as smell-good as one might think. Actually, after tumbled, resin has no smell at all. Falling and hardening into variations of different forms, jewelry designers such as Pinky Elodie keep the raw state, instead of grinding the piece down to look like a bead or perfectly shaped stone.

Resin also can formulate its own gloss coat if aged over time. Although most artisan jewelers choose to coat the resin themselves, to create a better visual appeal.

Wearable art can be created out of almost anything, but some designers are starting to move toward the rawness of the earth that surrounds us, as their inspiration for fashion statements. Fashion forward in an urban or country setting, these pieces are bound to hit Hollywood soon.

Pinky Elodie is an artisan jewelry line, wherein each and every piece is hand-created by the artist. Using only recycled and/or locally purchased materials, Pinky Elodie by Bonnie Sedan strives to improve the health of the earth and the communities of those that live upon it.
