Ⅲ. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Mold

Step 3: Repeat for Second Half

Step 4: Add Decoration

Step 5: Combine Both Halves
- Carefully align both heart halves and press gently to secure. To reinforce, use a clip or clamp for temporary fixation.

Step 6: Seal with Top Coat
- To ensure durability, apply clear resin along the edges to bond the halves. Important note: Cure in thin layers to prevent overflow.

Step 7: Attach Jump Ring
- Finally, add a drop of resin on the pendant’s top. While positioning the jump ring vertically, cure under UV light. Pro tip: Adjust before full hardening.

Step 8: Final Assembly
- Once fully cured, attach the pendant to a chain. For quality assurance, inspect for durability and shine.
