Exploring the many techniques of making handmade jewelry is what Nunn Design is passionate about. The findings that we design and include in our collection allows each artisan the ability to create jewelry that is unique to their own brand.
We believe that jewelry consumers crave something new, but not too new. Nunn Design strives for just the right balance of innovation and classic style allowing for a formula of success.
16. Colorized Resin Gems with a Smooth Finish
When Nunn Design 2-Part Resin is in the “soft-cure” phase (about 6-8 hours into the curing process) you can roll and sculpt it. This tutorial, Colorized Resin Gems Tutorial, will walk you through all of the steps!

17. Colorized Sculpted Resin using a Silicone Mold
We don’t have a tutorial yet for this technique, but the steps are very similar to the technique featured in 16. Marbleized Resin with Transfer Sheets Tutorial. To create the sculpted resin effect that you see in the sample, press the resin during the “soft cure” phase into a silicone mold and let the resin fully cure. The end results is a sculpted resin effect.

18. Colorized Resin Gems with a Dimensional Finish
This technique also has a tutorial that is coming. The steps are exactly like technique 16 above, but an additional step happens once the resin is within the bezel. To create this dimensional rough-cut look, simply cut the resin with a pair of scissors! Seriously, it is that easy and that cool looking!
