PRE ORDER Snakes & Florals Bib Necklace RED

Following from the Lunar year of the dragon pieces and since I'm born under year of the snake, I decided to create some snake pieces as 2025 is year of the snake! Growing up, I never really liked my Chinese zodiac; snakes aren't the most well liked animals, but I have grown to like them and to admire the amazing qualities people born under the sign are said to have. The brief that I set myself was create pieces that obviously include snakes but also pieces that are beautiful and that appeal to people who may not usually desire to wear snake jewellery. I also wanted to give the pieces a Chinese inspired style to them to so I came up with snakes with a peony inspired flower design.

This is a medium sized option for the necklace but its still a striking piece, measuring in at w140mm x h75mm. The piece consists of a striking red mirror acrylic for the snakes and two shades of pink, white and green pearl marble acrylic for the flowers. Please note that there is some variation to the pearl marble acrylic, especially the deeper pink. Some sheets can be lighter than others (light is photographed in this instance and statement brooch is a little darker) but I will prioritise the more pigmented sheets. The chain and findings are made from anti tarnish gold plated stainless steel and the design is backed onto a 3.6mm varnished ash veneered plywood base for lightness and wear ability. It is for this reason that the piece doesn't feel bulky when on and it's super easy to wear. I'm wearing the necklaces on the shortest length in the photos. The chain measures approximately 39cm extending up to 47cm. 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. I've paired gold plated stainless steel with the design but there's no reason why silver mirror centres and a silver tone stainless steel chain wouldn't work, so I've made that an option for you, I just haven't made one up to show.
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 matching floral earrings on the shop. 

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 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.
