In this instructional jewelry making video, learn the process of making rings out of clear polyester resin, a type of moldable plastic. This tutorial shows you everything from mold-making to embedments. Use this same technique to make RFID rings, which are clear plastic containing unique microchips useful for electronics projects where you want to identify a specific person wearing one. Thanks to Townsend Atelier for the sample of Knead-a-Mold, a welcomed (and much easier to work with) alternative to pourable silicone for mold-making. So check out this jewelry tutorial video and start casting polyester resin rings today!

Thank you! I bought some polyester resin to make miniature food(bottles and the like) and your tutorial made me feel much more confident.

Thank you for posting this! I'm looking into creating resin jewelry and cute figurines for the first time, and this gave me some good ideas, both for creating a mold as well as using it. It was very informative.
