PRE ORDER Lion Brooch

This lion design has been in the pipeline since I first started Rock The Panda in 2018 and in that year I also sourced the lighter golden marble pearl acrylic from a supplier in the US. Lions are close to my heart and I've depicted them in acrylic paintings a couple of times. These paintings have provided inspiration over the past few years. The lion face is made from gold metallic acrylic, pearlescent Perspex with black details and golden mirror eyes, whilst the mane is made from a caramel coloured acrylic, light golden pearl marble acrylic framed with a beautiful rich brown/gold/milky brown mixed acrylic that has a lot of variation from sheet to sheet, all backed onto 3mm rust brown acrylic which tones in perfectly. The brooches will be chosen at random for orders. Take a look at the group shot of the lion heads to get an idea of variation.
The brooch measures approximately h73mmxw63mm.
Note that there is a little variation in the mane acrylic (see photo of a batch and a necklace version) but as mentioned above it is particularly the darker acrylic. I always attach brooch backs on brooches horizontally with a strong glue and they're mostly the 3 hole 35mm type unless the brooch is smaller. All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The brooch has the Rock The Panda logo and year made engraved on the back and comes in it's own box.

£2 will be donated to WWF from each piece sold between 16/08/22 - 23/08/22

All Rock The Panda designs will be limited. They won't ever be mass produced.

Important Info -
Due to my works handmade nature and the fact that some of the acrylic sheet is handmade itself, there will be slight differences in each piece and may be minor imperfections.
Stainless steel is very resilient to tarnish but it may darken slightly over time.

Acrylic can be quite delicate. Handle with care, clean with a soft microfibre cloth and keep your brooch/necklace in the box provided when not being worn. Each piece is water resistant but not waterproof. Please don't immerse in water. Some acrylic, particularly pearl marble acrylic can deteriorate with time (years usually). The surface becomes sort of pitted. This can't be avoided unfortunately.

Shipping -

Orders are shipped in either boxes or in thick padded jiffy green envelopes both of which are recyclable. Tissue paper is used as padding and also biodegradable bubble wrap to protect pieces such as necklaces. Please re use or recycle the packaging responsibly.

If you're outside of the UK just be aware that you may get a custom fee upon delivery.
Shipping outside of the UK is tracked. UK orders are posted with Tracked24hr, Tracked48hr or special delivery (you decide at the checkout). Orders to Australia can take 2-8 weeks to arrive. Due to Brexit orders to Europe can now take anywhere between 2-3 weeks to arrive.
