Yes, you can use this product for making resin jewelry –at least some kinds of jewelry.

This type is called a “bartop” epoxy resin (note that there’s no R in the spelling of “epoxy” when you do searches online), and clear epoxy resin sold for that use is generally the same thing as “craft” epoxy resin (in other words, it’s clear enough).

Here are the instructions for using this particular brand from online, or you can just do an online search for the name of the product, and a link for the pdf version of the instructions will be in the results:

http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:qB6nxaAmZIkJ:www.newparks.com/PDF/71540-Instructions_FP.pdf+parks+super+glaze+epoxy&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjINMLiSI7usu9Gb3AplPHZ2uXIZigj8c9t3hI2osynvB-ZXugZO2gGm2uLvKwZo0N0YW4HuLc61Zspldm17O4bZwsBWteCS0KxY2wYqhjCjGOTZDpdydawjIfAJhNg9UYEgXdG&sig=AHIEtbQuapUMqI9MPXZYX4eRg6jCZYiXXQ

Craft resins are usually sold in craft stores, art supply stores, hobby stores, and hardware stores in the U.S., with the “bartop” resins also sold at hardware or home improvement stores like Home Depot.

Be aware though that there are at least two types of clear craft resin you’ll often see –polyester resin and several types of epoxy resin. They’re not the same, and they can’t always be used for the same types of “jewelry,” etc.

Instead of writing all the differences again, just check out my answers in these previous questions about resin for summaries of that info, plus more about using resins:
