Resin is a versatile material in jewellery making, valued for its ability to encapsulate colour, texture, and unique design elements at an accessible price point. Used in both fashion and artisanal pieces, resin allows jewellers to experiment with bold aesthetics, lightweight construction, and innovative finishes. Jewellery Focus covers the latest trends, design techniques, and market opportunities for resin jewellery, along with supplier updates, brand launches, and retail insights. Our coverage helps trade professionals understand how resin can expand product ranges, appeal to style-conscious customers, and meet demand for affordable, creative designs.
