PRE ORDER Snake & Floral Statement Brooch

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 real striking statement brooch that measures approximately w50mm x h97mm but it is also super lightweight and easy to wear (weighing in at 20g) due to it being backed with 3.6mm thick varnished ash veneered plywood with a large horizontal stainless steel brooch pin secured on the back. The design consists of a luxurious mirror red acrylic as well as metallic pink and two shades of pink, white and green pearl marble acrylic. Please note that there is some variation to the pearl marble acrylic, especially the deeper pink. Some may be lighter than the example photographed but I will prioritise the more pigmented sheets as pictured. The statement necklace shows a lighter sheet. There is also the option of silver flower centres (instead of gold) which you can see on a pendant in the last video.

There may be slight over hanging of acrylic at the back but only up to 1mm and. this is normal
All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The brooch has the Rock The Panda logo and year it was designed (2025) 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. 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.
