Bezel Wire and Resin - A Tutorial For Experienced Resin Users - Finished Pendant!

 This is now my best resin sample ever!
This is the fifth post in a series I started Monday. 
 Yesterday I showed you how I applied a glaze layer of Jewelry Resin to the back side to cover the adhesive residue.  It worked perfectly and you can really see how my coloured resin is now showcased from the back.
 I am so happy with my collage elements and coloured resin!
The bezel wire shape is perfect!
 Now I had the fun of assembling the my art into a wearable piece of art.  To do that I gathered two strands of beads and a Fiskars hand drill.  This hand drill allowed me to carefully drill two small holes through the pendant to attach my gold jump rings.

 I am over the moon with my final necklace!!
I can't wait to wear it!


I hope you enjoyed this special one-week tutorial.
There is so much you can do with resin!

One last tip.
My necklace beads came from Jesse James Beads.  Their pre-selected strands are just gorgeous and I was amazed at how well they matched my final pendant with almost no work on my part!

As we head into the long weekend (in Canada) I want to wish all my friends a happy Canada Day!

    I loved your project! I'm not sure if I'll have the time or patience to try something like it, but I definitely want to look around for that bezel wire, extra wide double sided tape, and the fiskar drillers. Where did you get those? It's been a while since I've done some resin projects and I'd like to get back into it.

      I bought the hand drill about four years ago at Michaels Craft Store....I only use it to make holes in my resin pieces, so it is definitely a good tool!

    That looks SO good! I love it! If you didn't have any way to drill holes, could you just glue bails to the sides and attach rings/the necklace to that? How well would that work?

    Have you ever tried to put a tiny screw eye hook in the side of this type of bezel so the front was totally clean? I was just wondering if that would work.

    Hi Mary Anne, yes, it would work. If I use a tiny screw I put a tiny drop of resin on it to make sure it is secured!
