- Encased Object Pendants: Dried flowers, leaves, tiny notes, or charms suspended in clear or tinted resin — sentimental and uniquely personal.
- Geode / Crystal-style Pendants: Use mica powders, glitter and metallic leaf to recreate geode cross-sections. Great for spiritual & boho looks.
- Ocean Layer Pendants: Multiple resin pours with blue pigments, shell pieces and glitter create depth that looks like a miniature sea.
- Photo Pendants: High-quality prints sealed in resin — ideal for memorial pieces or gifting.
- Mixed-Media Pendants: Combine resin with wood, metal frames, polymer clay elements or fabric for complex textures.

Polymer Clay Pendant Types — In Depth 🎨
Polymer clay is the favourite of sculptors and pattern lovers. It is oven-baked to a hard finish and can imitate stones or become tiny sculptures.
- Sculpted Figurines: Miniature animals, deities, or characters handcrafted into pendants.
- Faux Stone Pendants: Marbled clay techniques mimic turquoise, lapis and other gems.
- Caned Pattern Pendants: Sliceable patterns that create repeated floral or geometric designs.
- Textured & Stamped Pendants: Use textile, stamps and tools to imprint ethnic motifs.
- Hand-Painted Finishes: Post-bake painting for added detail and depth.
Pro tip: Combining resin & clay
Many top artisans embed polymer clay elements inside resin or add resin overlays to clay for a glossy finish. This hybrid technique creates durable, eye-catching pieces.
