What is UV Resin Crafting?

UV Resin crafting is the practice of creating or replicating forms using various molds. These molds are filled with a substance called epoxy resin which is poured into molds in a liquid form. This liquid then dries and hardens to form a near-perfect replication of the negative from the mold hold.
UV Resin Crafting is an increasingly popular creative hobby. Original, aesthetic and easy to work with, it allows you to carry out many DIY projects such as customizing accessories for jewelry making, creating exquisite jewelry or home decorations.

What supplies basics are needed for UV resin projects?

First of all, we need a mold to hold the glue liquid, and then wait for a while for the glue to dry or use a UV lamp to accelerate hardening. Depending on the item you want to make, there are a variety of mold choices. Silicone molds are suitable for slightly larger items. Open Back Bezel and Pendant Cabochon Settings are suitable to make small decorations.

  • Open Back Bezel
  • Pendant Cabochon Settings
  • Glue
  • UV Lamp

What can be put in resin for decor?

Transparent and colorless, the resin can be personalized as desired with dyes, glitter, dried flowers or other mini decorations.

What is the difference between epoxy resin and UV resin ?

Epoxy resin is composed of two liquids. Mixing the two components produces a chemical reaction that the mixture can harden over time and become solid.
Comparatively, UV resin is a mixture that can harden in a shorter time by using a UV lamp. It can also harden under the heat of the sun.
If you are doing jewelry projects, UV resin is the best material for small flat projects,but if you're using silicone molds for larger 3D projects, epoxy is better.

What kind of jewelry can you make with UV resin?

UV resin has a beautiful, crystal clear surface and is therefore ideal for the production of jewelry and accessories.

  • Earring
  • Hair Accessories
  • Bracelet
  • Ring
  • Brooch

What featured crafts can you make with molds?

  • Soap

Real Gold Plated Jewelry Findings

Karat Gold - Understanding Gold Purity

1K Gold = 4.166% pure Gold
"K" stands for karat and indicates the percentage of gold in an alloy.

Gold Plated Information

  • Real 18K Gold plated
    Base Metal
    (Brass or Zinc Alloy
    or Stainless Steel)

    A very thin layer of 18k gold

  • Real platinum plated
    Base Metal
    (Brass or Zinc Alloy
    or Stainless Steel)

    A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Silver+Nickel+Zinc(Nickel not exceed 0.3%)

  • Real Rose Gold plated
    Base Metal
    (Brass or Zinc Alloy
    or Stainless Steel)

    A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Copper+Silver+Zinc

Our 18K gold-plated jewelry is not actually made of 18 karat gold, its base metal is usually brass, zinc alloy, sterling silver, or stainless steel. 18K gold-plated jewelry is created through electrochemical plating or chemical processes that deposit a very thin layer of 18K gold onto the base metal, with the gold layer being as thin as about 0.01 to 0.03 micrometers. Despite its thinness, there is real gold on such jewelry, even if it's just a thin layer of it.
The production principle of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is the same as 18K gold-plated jewelry, it is also created through electrochemical plating or the application of chemicals to deposit a very thin layer of karat gold over the base metal. On our website, in comparison to commonly plated products, the color durability of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is superior.

Real 18K Gold Plated VS Golden Plated

We offer two types of gold-plated jewelry: real gold-plated (12K, 14K, 18K, and 24K) and golden-plated. Below is a brief comparison between real 18K gold-plated and golden-plated items, similar to other real gold-plated pieces.

 
Real 18K Gold plated

Golden plated
Color Durability Usually 6~12 Months Usually 3~6 Months
Karat Gold Layer About 0.01~0.03μm Without real gold
Gold Layer Material 18 Karat Gold Unknown Golden Material
Maintenance Avoid contact with water and sweat Avoid contact with water and sweat

Difference Between Ion Plating (IP)
and PVD Vacuum Plating

Our stainless steel jewelry undergoes three types of electroplating processes: PVD vacuum plating, ion plating (IP), and water electroplating. Vacuum plating, also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), is a surface treatment technology. This process involves evaporating or sputtering metal or non-metal materials under vacuum conditions and depositing them onto the surface of the object to create a thin film. PVD technology includes various coating methods, with ion plating (IP) being one of them. Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition.

The thickness of the plating layer is influenced by the electroplating process and duration. The longer the plating time, the thicker the layer becomes, resulting in longer color preservation.

Below is a brief comparison of the color durability of Ion Plating, PVD Vacuum Plating, and Water Galvanization.

Electroplating Process Feature Metal Color Color Durability
No Electroplating Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means it does not oxidize or tarnish like other metals such as silver or brass. Hypoallergenic. Stainless Steel Color Tarnish resistant, retain its color for a long time
Vacuum Ion Plating(IP) The vacuum plating process is complex and requires specific environmental and equipment conditions, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. The plating is done in a vacuum oven, resulting in longer color retention and a durable coating. Real Gold Plated
(14K, 18K, 24K)
Usually 1 Year
Real Rose Gold Plated Usually 6~12 Months
Rainbow Color Usually 6~12 Months
Blue Usually 6~12 Months
PVD Vacuum Plating The vacuum plating process is complex, with strict environmental and equipment requirements, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. It also results in a durable coating. Real Gold Plated
(14K, 18K, 24K)
Usually 1 Year
Real Rose Gold Plated Usually 6 Months
Golden Usually 6 Months
Rose Gold Color Usually 6 Months
Water Plating "Water plating" liquid is processed in a water-based solution. Real Gold Plated
(14K, 18K, 24K)
Usually 6 Months
Golden Usually 3~6 Months
Rose Gold Color Usually 3~6 Months
Silver Maybe less than 3 Months
