PRE ORDER Folk Floral Brooch - Tortoiseshell
PRE ORDER Folk Floral Brooch - Tortoiseshell
Inspired by a mixture of folk art and the 70s decade, this Folk Floral Brooch is a very versatile, wearable piece. It measures approximately h7.1cm x w5.8cm at the angle it is intended to be worn (see photo) and features a mixture of hand mixed pearl marble, faux tortoiseshell, plain Perspex and mirror acrylic all hand assembled onto a varnished poplar plywood back plate. 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. Note that there is a little variation in the acrylic (see photo of a batch of 6).
The brooch has the Rock The Panda logo and year made engraved on the back and comes in it's own box.
There are matching earrings available for this brooch.
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.
