Note - this is a pre order item for the release. Please expect anywhere up to 4-8 weeks for shipping. Let me know if you need your order sooner via the order notes

Octopus are one of the most otherworldly animals under the sea and they are definitely a favourite of mine so I have wanted to create some octopus pieces for a long time now and what better way to start of a long running under water collection.

I made this medium sized octopus piece for those on a smaller budget that like articulated pieces but may not be able to afford the original statement size version. The main body consists of a striking frosted iridescent acrylic which has been customised/backed to create a more lilac toned opaque acrylic which shines through all the colours of a sunset (blue, purple, pink, coral, orange and yellow) as it moves and shows differently in different lights. It's then accented with plain light purple Perspex, plain magenta acrylic and white toned iridescent acrylic eyes. All hand assemble onto a 3mm plain matching purple base. Due to the size, I wasn't able to use the gloss iridescent acrylic in this piece and I've also had to change the jump ring placement too so the tentacles had to be simplified into just engraved plain purple. That said, it is still a very striking piece which measures approximately 11.5cm(w) x 10.2cm(h) . The chain and findings are made from anti tarnish stainless steel so the jump rings won't need changing. Choose between gold plated and regular silver tone. I'm wearing the necklace on the shortest length in the photos and it measures approximately 37cm extending to 48cm. If you think you'll need extra length you can message me or leave me a note for a couple more inches of the main chain but I will say that the necklace can't really be worn any lower as I don't think it will sit right. Please note with this one that there may be slight variation in tone to the iridescent 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 it was designed (2025) engraved on the back, and comes in it's own box. You can find tentacle earrings on the shop. 

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

£1 per item sold from the release between 25/10/25 - 01/11/25 will be donated to the marine conservation charity Sea Shepherd.

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 slightly of pitted/blemished. This can't be avoided unfortunately.

Please be aware that different lighting and being viewed on various screens can show colours slightly differently.
