Curing Units

Jewellery curing units are used to harden resins and setting compounds in a clean, controlled environment, particularly during processes involving casting wax, silver metal clay, or enamel. They’re commonly paired with kilns, mandrels, soldering kits, and other jewellery making supplies, helping jewellers achieve stable, repeatable finishes on both metals and stone-in-place work. Whether you’re working with tourmaline, sapphire, or other precious gemstones, a curing unit ensures adhesives and coatings bond correctly without compromising the integrity of the piece. Often used in resin-based jewellery or modern moulding applications, these units support designers who handle materials such as gold filled metal, silver, copper and wire, and even UV-set materials.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What does a jewellery curing unit do?

A curing unit provides a consistent heat or UV light environment to harden resins, metal clays, adhesives, and coatings used in jewellery making. It ensures clean, professional finishes with minimal warping or discolouration.

2. Can curing units be used with gemstone settings?

Yes, most modern curing units are safe for use with stable gemstones like amethyst, zircon, cubic zirconia, and tourmaline. However, it’s important to check heat sensitivity before curing pieces with softer or porous stones.

3. Do I need a kiln as well as a curing unit?

It depends on your process. A kiln is necessary for firing silver clay or high-temp metal work, while a curing unit is typically used for lower-temperature or UV-based applications such as resin work, adhesives, or coatings. Many professional jewellers use both for different stages of production.
