Old Gold Beaver Dust Pigment is a warm antique gold mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a rich old-gold shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a classic metallic colour with warmth, depth, movement, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Old Gold in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, rustic woodworking projects, vintage-style resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for an antique gold shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom bronze-gold, copper-gold, champagne, Mayan gold, brown-gold, or warm metallic-style effects.

- Antique gold, bronze, warm metallic, vintage, and luxury-style epoxy projects

Why Old Gold Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Old Gold is a useful mica powder colour when you want a warm metallic pigment that feels more aged and subtle than bright shiny gold. It can work well in rustic epoxy projects, river tables, decorative trays, coasters, black-and-gold resin art, and woodworking projects where you want a gold shimmer that complements natural wood grain without feeling too bright.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, black and gold colour palettes, bronze and brown blends, copper accents, darker backgrounds, white pearl blends, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Old 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.
Old Gold is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a warm antique metallic-style colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent old-gold shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated antique gold effect.
Suggested Projects
- Old gold epoxy pours: Use Old Gold on its own for warm metallic resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
- Rustic river tables: Pair Old Gold with black, brown, clear, bronze, satin coffee, copper gold, or gun metal grey pigments for warm epoxy river effects.
- Epoxy inlays and void fills: Add old-gold shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Vintage-style resin art: Use with black, white, bronze, brown, copper, or dark grey pigments for rich decorative resin effects.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Old Gold for warm metallic epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with bronze, shiny gold, light gold, copper gold, Mayan gold, black, white, or brown tones to create custom antique gold, champagne, bronze-gold, and warm metallic-style effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Old 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.
