How to Use COLORIT® Resin in Jewellery Making: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re looking to add vibrant, long-lasting colour to your jewellery designs, COLORIT® is an ideal solution. This resin system gives a professional-quality finish with exceptional durability. Below is a simple step-by-step guide to using the COLORIT® Complete Starter Set, along with the key benefits that make it stand out.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• COLORIT® Complete Starter Set
• Jewellery or metal surface you want to colour
• Cleaning and polishing tools such as an ultrasonic cleaner, polishing pads and sandpaper
• Protective gloves and a clean workspace

Step 1

Start by preparing the metal surface thoroughly:

• Clean the surface using an ultrasonic cleaner or degreaser to remove dirt, oil, or any contaminants.
• Dry the surface completely.
• Apply a bonding solution to the clean metal to help the resin adhere properly.

Step 2

Once your surface is ready, it’s time to add the resin:

• Select your preferred colour from the COLORIT® range. You can also mix colours to create a custom shade.
• Stir the resin thoroughly and always reseal the lid after use.
• Using a fine applicator or brush, apply the resin evenly to the surface. Make sure the layer is smooth and free from air bubbles.

Step 3

After application, harden the resin with a blue light unit:

• Place the piece under the curing unit and follow the recommended curing time. This varies depending on the resin type and layer thickness.
• For better results, apply and cure multiple thin layers instead of one thick coat.
• If any sticky residue remains after curing, remove it with alcohol wipes.

Step 4

Now it’s time to polish and refine your design:

• Use fine-grit sandpaper or grinding tools to smooth the cured resin.
• Polish the surface with a polishing pad or compound to achieve a high-gloss, professional finish.

Benefits of Using COLORIT®

Durability

COLORIT® resins are highly resistant to scratches, shocks, and impacts. The colours don’t fade and can withstand daily wear, making them ideal for long-lasting jewellery.

Vibrant, Customisable Colours

A wide range of solid, UV-resistant shades is available. You can mix colours freely to create custom effects, ensuring your designs remain bright and fresh over time.

High-Quality Finish

The cured resin delivers a polished, glossy surface that looks premium. It can be easily processed further with sanding, grinding and electroplating.

Skin-Friendly and Biocompatible

COLORIT® is 100% biocompatible, hypoallergenic and non-toxic—perfect for items that come into contact with skin.

Efficient and Easy Application

The blue light curing system makes application quick and precise. The resin adheres well to both precious and non-precious metals, and can be layered for detailed designs.

Built for Tough Environments

The cured resin resists chemical exposure, moisture, humidity, sterilisation processes and high temperatures without degrading.

COLORIT® makes it easy to bring colour and creativity into your jewellery making process without compromising on quality or durability. Its customisable shades, scratch-resistant properties, and skin-safe formulation make it the go-to resin system for all jewellery makers.
