PRE ORDER Ladybird Pendant Choose from 3 different colours!
This ladybird brooch was inspired by my childhood love of ladybirds. I focused on the different wing stages when I designed the statement necklace and felt this was the best shape for the brooch. Each brooch is quite chunky but is backed with 2mm black acrylic so is easy to wear. I thought long and hard about the layering of these and realised that you can get thicker acrylic so it was perfect for the layering of this piece to make them appear layered like real ladybirds with the order of the wings. Choose from three options from the menu for the outer coloured wings. Red and orange mirror acrylic will have spots that are engraved and painted underneath whilst the yellow will have them engraved and painted on the outside with uv resin over the top. This is done by hand so they will vary a little. The transparent wings have a likeness to real ladybird wings and are made from an ink/smoke like tortoishell acrylic, and the bodies are a greyish bronze mirror acrylic. The Brooch photos are there as examples of the colours but I've only made up the red mirror so far as an actual pendant.
The design measures approximately 45mm(h)x57mm(w) whilst the black vacuum plated chain measures approximately 38.5cm and has an 8.5cm extender chain. There will be a little variation in the tortoishell acrylic but the rest will look the same. All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The pendant has the Rock The Panda logo and year made engraved on the back and comes in it's own box. 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.
