Product review
What’s included
This kit arrives as a multi-item package designed for beginners: a bottle of clear epoxy resin and a matching hardener, a set of silicone casting molds for pendants, tags and small jewelry, several flexible plastic measuring cups, disposable mixing cups, wooden stir sticks, pouring nozzles, earring hooks and small hardware, a handful of dried floral inclusions, gold flakes and a selection of mica powders. Basic instructions are provided to guide mixing and pouring.
Materials and sizes
The epoxy and hardener are formulated to be non-toxic once cured and to produce a transparent, glass-like surface. The recommended mixing ratio is 1:1 resin to hardener. The kit includes several small silicone molds suitable for pendants, tags and keychain-sized pieces, plus three flexible measuring cups to reduce drips while pouring.
How to use it
Measure equal parts resin and hardener, combine and stir thoroughly for the recommended working time (about 20 minutes of workable pour time depending on temperature). Use the included stirring sticks and disposable cups to mix, add mica, glitter or floral inclusions as desired, then pour into the silicone molds. The product is intended for use on wood, fiberglass, reinforcement fabrics, etched aluminum, bare steel and other smooth surfaces where a glossy, protective finish is desired.
Performance characteristics
The resin is promoted as self-leveling and formulated to degas as it cures, yielding a clear, low-shrinkage finish that resists staining and light scratching. The kit packages the bulk of starter tools so you won’t need to source many extras; however, some users report issues with leaking bottles and would welcome more detailed, step-by-step instruction for beginners.
Uses and applications
Beyond jewelry, these components work well for decorative resins, small coasters, embedded floral pieces and custom tag projects. The assortment of pigments, flakes and tiny dried flowers included helps make attractive finished pieces without hunting down separate supplies.
Pros
- Comprehensive starter contents including molds and decorative inclusions
- Clear epoxy that cures glossy, self-leveling and low shrinkage
- Useful for multiple substrates and small decorative projects
Cons
- Some users report leaking bottles on arrival
- Instructions are quite basic; novices may need extra guidance
- Limited quantities of some items for repeated large projects
VerdictThis all-in-one resin jewelry kit supplies most of what a novice needs to begin casting charms, pendants and decorative pieces. The set contains clear epoxy and hardener with a 1:1 mix ratio, multiple silicone molds, measuring cups and decorative additives such as metallic flakes and mica powders. It cures to a glossy, scratch-resistant finish and is formulated to self-level and reduce trapped air

Easy starter set
A straightforward, simple first kit for trying out resin crafts. Good to get a feel for pouring and finishing.

Good product, small bottle
Nice kit overall but the resin bottle size is a bit small.
-

Solid for resin projects
Great variety of components. I wish there were more keychain and necklace findings included, but the resin quality is impressive and adhesion works well.

Fun for both beginners and experienced crafters
This set was enjoyable — it supplies most of what you need whether you’re learning or already familiar with resin.

Well-suited for newcomers
Good quality and true-to-color pigments. Plenty to get started if you work carefully and don’t spill.

Good beginner bundle with a recurring leak issue
I liked the kit but both my first and replacement kits had leaking bottles. They were sealed in bags so spills were limited, but cleanup was a hassle and I lost some product. Otherwise there’s a lot here to get started in resin work — just fix the packaging and it would be near perfect.

Planning to buy larger bottles next time
I was pleasantly surprised by how much came in this kit. I only wanted a pendulum mold but got resin and lots of extras — molds for tags, earring hooks, tiny stir spoons, three flexible measuring cups, ten mica pots and a small bag of dried baby's breath. The resin claims to degas itself; I'm still watching that claim but overall this set saves the trouble of buying many pieces separately.

Leaked resin but replacement handled promptly
I bought this for my 11-year-old and the resin leaked inside the bag, so we didn’t get full bottles. Tweezers were missing too, but a replacement kit was sent to make up for the shortfalls. Appreciate the customer service follow-up.

Great mix of supplies but needs clearer directions
One mica pot (gold) arrived open and made a mess. I’m brand new to resin and the instruction sheet was too basic for me — I needed step-by-step visuals. The kit itself is cute: tiny flowers and an assortment of mica and glitter to play with, just more guidance would have helped.
