Shiny Gold Beaver Dust Pigment is a bright metallic gold mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a bold gold shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a rich, eye-catching metallic colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Shiny Gold in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, luxury-style resin pieces, black-and-gold projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a bright gold shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom champagne, antique gold, bronze-gold, copper-gold, pearl gold, or metallic-style effects.
Best Uses for Shiny Gold Mica Powder

- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Gold, metallic, luxury, black-and-gold, and jewel-tone epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects

Why Shiny Gold Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Shiny Gold is a useful mica powder colour when you want a bright metallic pigment that stands out. It can work well in luxury-style epoxy projects, river tables, decorative trays, coasters, handmade gifts, black-and-gold resin art, and woodworking projects where you want a warm gold shimmer that pairs nicely with natural wood grain.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, black and gold colour palettes, white pearl blends, bronze and copper accents, darker backgrounds, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Shiny Gold tone, shimmer, and transparency will look in your exact resin, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.
Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different
Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.
Shiny Gold is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a bright metallic-style colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent gold shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated metallic gold effect.
Suggested Projects
- Gold epoxy pours: Use Shiny Gold on its own for bright metallic resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
- Black-and-gold resin art: Pair Shiny Gold with black, white, clear, bronze, copper, or gun metal grey pigments for high-contrast luxury-style resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add gold shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Shiny Gold for warm metallic epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Luxury-style resin projects: Use with black, white, bronze, copper, brown, or deep blue pigments for elegant decorative resin effects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, black, bronze, copper, brown, silver, red, or light gold tones to create custom champagne, antique gold, bronze-gold, and metallic-style effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Shiny Gold mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Mica powder can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
