Rosella Resin
About:
The story: We are two sisters, 10 years apart, who love making wearable works of art. Jessica was trained in mouldmaking and resin casting while living in Melbourne, Australia as a feather-collecting junkie. Upon returning to Canada, she taught Gwynne everything she knew. With Gwynne’s superior eye for design Rosella Resin was born. The company is named after the beautiful Australian parrot.
The concept: Nature is the world’s greatest designer. Rosella jewelry showcases the most beautiful designs found in nature, including feathers, shells, and plants.
Proudly made with Entropy Resin’s eco performance resin, certified by the USDA as a biobased product. Unlike most resins that use petroleum-based products, this eco resin uses bio-derived materials such as pine oils derived from waste-streams of other manufacturing products.
The transparent resin transforms delicate and ephemeral natural artifacts into beautifully preserved, wearable, durable jewelry. Resin also has a magnifying property, highlighting every wispy strand of a feather, every grain of wheat or spiral in a shell.
Each piece is unique. When you wear our jewelry you can be assured you are wearing a one-of-a-kind item that can never be replicated.
The process: First we create every mould with high grade silicone rubber. Inside the moulds we place collected natural objects. We then cast our jewelry using bio-derived eco resin that uses pine oils and waste streams from other manufacturing processes. Eco resin has a longer cure time than traditional resins and can take up to one week to cure. After the jewelry has cured, we remove the resin from the molds, and carefully sand and polish using over 10 grades of sandpaper and polishing tools.
The important part: We are nature lovers who are committed to environmental ethics. We use bio-derived eco resin to create our jewelry.
Parrot feathers are cruelty-free and naturally molted. We only use natural feathers, never dyed feathers. The vibrant colours are the bird’s natural feathers.
