Supplies needed for Jewelry Clay Necklace with gold leaf

Step 1: Mixing Resin Clay
Begin by opening the jewelry clay and read the directions carefully. Wear gloves.

Get the same size of piece from each tub.

Mix the clay together until there is no marbling remaining.

Step 2: Adding Color

Add a couple of drops of Alcohol Ink to add some color to the clay. Do not add too much or the clay will change chemically and won’t set up.

Add some alcohol ink to the jewelry clay for a little color

Mix the color into the clay, again, be sure you are wearing gloves. The resin clay can be quite sticky.

Mixed jewelry clay with alcohol ink color added and smoothed out.

Step 3: Gold and Silver Leafing

Add silver and gold leaf to the top of the clay pressed on the work table.

Then use a loose paintbrush to remove the excess gold leaf.

Dust off excess gold leafing from the jewelry clay.

Use a pen tube to roll the clay out a bit. Rolling the clay will change the look of the leafing and even out the thickness of the clay.

Roll out the clay gently to show cracks in the gold leafing.

Then use a hobby knife to cut the shape of the bezel and set the resin clay inside the bezel. Trim the edges and press it in with your gloved fingers.

Place the jewelry clay on the pendant bezels.

Repeat the process for each of the bezels. The small amount of clay I mixed up made 5 adorable pendants. I love how different they each look. I love the black pendant, it looks like a moon surface.

Repeat the process by adding jewelry clay with gold and silver leaf on the pendant bezels

Set the bezels aside and let them dry and cure overnight. Then add chains to the pendants and they are ready to wear. I love the texture, shimmer and look of them!

Let the jewelry clay dry and then string the bezels on chains for the perfect necklaces.

That’s it!

This would be a great craft for summer camp or a girls night. A great resin craft for beginners to experts!
