Star Light Gold Beaver Dust Pigment is a sparkling light gold mica powder from our Star Series, designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a soft gold shimmer with extra sparkle, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a warm metallic-style finish that feels bright, elegant, and eye-catching.
Use Star Light Gold in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, luxury-style resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a light gold shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom champagne, pearl gold, bronze, copper-gold, black-and-gold, or metallic-style effects.
Best Uses for Star Light Gold Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Gold, champagne, luxury, metallic, and jewel-tone epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Star Series Pigments Are Different
Star Series Beaver Dust Pigments are designed to create a stronger sparkling effect than a standard mica powder. Star Light Gold gives epoxy and craft projects a soft metallic gold colour with added shimmer, making it useful when you want a warm accent colour that catches the light without feeling too dark or heavy.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, black-and-gold pours, white-and-gold designs, natural wood projects, darker backgrounds, and lighter pearl blends. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the light 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.
Star Light Gold is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a warm 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 light gold effect.
Suggested Projects
- Light gold epoxy pours: Use Star Light Gold on its own for bright gold resin projects with a sparkling finish.
- Black-and-gold resin art: Pair with black, white, clear, bronze, or copper pigments for high-contrast luxury-style resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add light gold shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and trays: Create warm gold epoxy details in handmade serving pieces and gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, black, bronze, copper, silver, red, or brown tones to create custom champagne, antique gold, and metallic-style effects.
- Candles and soap: Test in your own wax or soap base to confirm the final colour, shimmer, and performance.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Star Light 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.
