How we press botanicals into resin
Every wildflower in our pendants was once alive. Here's the delicate, days-long process of preserving them forever inside UV resin — and why we'll never rush it.
Every flower you see inside a Trinity Arts pendant started as something living — picked from a garden, dried slowly over two weeks, pressed flat between weighted boards, and finally sealed inside UV resin that will outlast all of us.
The process takes patience most people don't expect. Asha spends three to four days on each botanical piece before a single drop of resin is mixed.
"People think pressing flowers is simple," she says. "It is — if you don't care about the colour. Getting petals to hold their pigment for years? That's the craft."
After drying, each flower is arranged by hand inside a silicone mould. The positioning matters — Asha rarely places them symmetrically. "Nature is never symmetrical. Why should the piece be?"
The resin is poured in layers, not all at once. The first layer anchors the botanicals. The second seals them. The third creates the domed, glass-like finish. Each layer requires 6–8 hours of curing under UV light before the next can be added.
