PRE ORDER Lion Necklace - Choose from Two sizes

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 necklaces 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 larger lion is an added extra due to the statement necklace being limited. It measures approximately h87mm x w77mm while the smaller version measures approximately h73mmxw63mm. They are both being worn at the shortest length on the photos. The chain is made from black vacuum plated stainless steel and measures approximately 39.5cms but it also comes with a 9cm extender chain with a paw charm on the end. I chose a black chain to contrast the gold in the lion and I think it pops better but it is possible to put it on a gold plated chain and gold plated findings if you either leave a note on your order or send me an Etsy message. It would be the same main chain and the one I used in my folk owl statement necklace. Just be careful not to knock plated chains against really hard surfaces as the plate may chip of slightly. Chains can also be lengthened if requested via the order notes.
Note that there is a little variation in the mane acrylic (see photo of a batch) but as mentioned above it is particularly the darker acrylic. All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The necklace 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.
