Jewelry-grade Bio-epoxy

A highly specialized, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based resins. Formulated with plant-based, bio-derived and waste-stream materials, it contains more than 30% renewable content. Material sources include soy, pine, or cashew nut shell liquids. Jewelry-grade bio-epoxy offers high clarity, low toxicity, and excellent durability, making it a preferred choice for crafting sustainable heritage quality art, while reducing reliance on petroleum-based products. VOC free. Crystal-clear finish with a high-gloss, glass-like sheen. Superior non-yellowing (UV resistant) properties, tensile strength, adhesive properties, and impact resistance, compared to traditional petroleum-based epoxies. Includes HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) to prevent yellowing. Waterproof.

Bio-epoxy is seen as a preservation and amplification binder for the properties of the natural elements it's bonded to. It acts as a 'lock' holding these energies steady, while preserving and grounding them.

Gold

A valuable dense, soft metal widely used for its conductivity, resistance to corrosion, unique physical properties and beauty. Gold is the most malleable and ductile metal, meaning it can be tamped extremely thin to the point of semi-transparent or drawn into long fine wires. With a similar density to tungsten, it is known for its heaviness for the size. While pure gold is too soft for most applications without an alloy for strength, which changes the color of the reddish-gold material accordingly: white (nickel/palladium), rose (copper), green (silver), or blue/purple (iron/aluminum).

An 'illuminating' metal associated with prosperity, wealth and high energy. Brings stability, happiness and purification to the wearer. Associated with the heart, promoting love and compassion. Gold is linked to the Sun in many traditions, highlighting vitality and consciousness.

Surgical Steel

A durable metal for daily wear comprised primarily of iron mixed with chromium (13-30%), nickel to reduce brittleness, and molybdenum to increase corrosion resistance. The chromium oxide outer layer is self-healing, and repairs itself if scratched, preventing long-term corrosion. Depending on the grade and treatment, it can be slightly magnetic.
Surgical steel can come in a wide variety of colors. Some colors are formed by heat oxidization (blue/purple), while others are formed by other hypoallergenic metal deposits as a vapor coating (physical vapor deposition), and still others are created from immersion in a chemical bath forming an oxide layer. These processes ensure the pigment Is integrated into the surface, not merely painted on.

As a 'self-healing' metal, surgical steel is associated with protection, healing and grounding. Viewed as a symbol of resilience, endurance and ability to recover. In many metaphysical traditions it is considered an energy shield, suitable for keeping one's energy field and aura intact, especially during difficult times.

Known as the 'stone of wisdom' symbolizing loyalty, strength, integrity and mental clarity. Primarily aligned with communication and self-expression, sapphires are slo known for lending intuition and insight.

Color-Specific Meanings:
Blue: Mental focus, order, and calm.
