WHAT IS RESIN AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Resin is essentially imitation glass paste. Botanic Isles manufactures resin jewellery which is different from the norm. The majority of cheaper resin jewellery which you will find elsewhere uses harmful chemicals which can permanently damage the environment and emits harmful chemicals. 98% of wildflower jewellery found elsewhere is collected illegally and can cause serious, ever lasting harm to the environment. This is why we only ever collect sustainably from private land with permission where we have been allowed to collect from (i.e. from farmer's land, our garden, Scottish castles, National Trust land etc). Cheaper resin jewellery will also fade in less than a year which is why we only use the best and use fine quality sterling silver and golds.
