Gold leaf and resin necklaces
Pick one! For $30 each they are a can't-fail gift option.Â
Gorgeous and practically indestructible. I made these sweet little pendants from gold leaf suspended in cast resin. Resin is amazing to work with because you can get all the clarity and sparkle of glass but you don't have to worry about the pendant shattering. I use tweezers to lay delicate leaves of gold over the top of the resin while it is drying. Then I pour another layer of resin over the top to seal all the gold inside. I polish the edges and hang each piece on a delicate gold filled chain. The end result is just enchanting. They make particularly good gifts for young people or for anyone who is rather hard on their jewelry. (You know who you are.)Â
Also, they seem to be a huge favorite of scientists. I don't really know why. Maybe it is the focal lens effect.Â

Style Guide: These pendants were born for layering! Wear it with other dainty pendants, or with a few gem chains. It looks great against solid colors, especially sweaters.Â

When you order you can leave me a note if you want one with gold leaf all the way to the edge or one that looks more like a scientific sample with less gold surface and more clear.Â
