Among the glittering diamonds and shimmering pearls, a more ordinary material has been making its mark this season: resin. Resin has a wonderful lightness that allows a luminosity not available in other materials. It can be molded into any shape, allowing unusual forms. Natural resin, a substance contained in the gum or sap of trees such as pine and fir, was used in lacquer and varnish by many early civilizations, including in China and Egypt. But by the 20th century, natural resins had been almost entirely replaced by synthetic ones — for example, epoxy resin, used for repairs, was introduced in the 1930s — and other variations made with petrochemicals. Resin became popular in art and art jewelry in the 1970s because there was a reaction to preciousness, and artists wanted to do something new.
