PRE ORDER Honey Bee Ring

This honey bee ring is quite a statement piece and features a stylised bee that's made from plain black Perspex, yellow frosted acrylic, transparent brown acrylic, bronze mirror with a piece of recycled acrylic in the centre of the body. Pieces that use recycled acrylic may be more limited in numbers than my usual range.

The design measures approximately 58(h)mm x 60mm(w) and has an adjustable stainless steel ring shank glued on. The ring shank is a little bigger than the bees body but it doesn't really show from the front. The ring shank is adjustable accommodating UK size M - UK size Q. US 6 - 8 1/2. EU 52 - 58 (though my middle finger is about an L and I find it comfortable on there). This ring isn't meant for heavy duty wear and it is advised to take it off during activities that may cause the ring to get knocked. It's also advised to take the ring off when you wash your hands.
There will be variation in the recycled acrylic. All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The ring is shipped in it's own box. All Rock The Panda designs will be limited. They won't ever be mass produced.

About the recycled acrylic - 

I've kept all my acrylic offcuts since I started Rock The Panda back in 2018 as I knew that one day there would be a way to use them. That day has come! I'm now able to recycle acrylic into new sheets with heat, pressure, time and care. It's very exciting and means that my little business has become a lot more environmentally friendly.

Each new small sheet takes a long time to make; I can only really make 1 (about a 18cm square surface) sheet a day and they require a lot of attention to ensure that the result is properly fused together. It is a process I experimented with for a few weeks prior to getting a usable sheet!

Although a machine is involved in the making of the recycled acrylic and the new type is very similar looking to regular non recycled acrylic please bear in mind that there may be tiny surface marks, little dimples, varying thicknesses and occasionally raised areas around thin sections of the design (this doesn't happen often though).

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.
