PRE ORDER Turtle Earrings (featuring in house recycled acrylic)

I've been eager to finally get onto making underwater creatures as it's so rich with inspiration. I wanted to create some more recycled pieces and I envisioned a turtle with a recycled shell and created a recycled sheet from 3 offcuts and some gold foil embedded and this is the design I came up with. 

These earrings are the perfect gift for a turtle lover. Each turtle measures approximately h40mm x w43mm and hang from a gold plated stainless steel hoop. They're lightweight as they're backed with 1.5mm plywood which has been painted black and varnished. The green reptiles scales on the turtle are achieved by engraving the kiwi green mirror acrylic underneath and then it's painted with a very dark brown acrylic paint in several coats. The final look is very effective and shines beautifully. The brown sections on the outside of the shells have been engraved and then painted with brown acrylic paint by hand. The rest of the earrings are then made from entirely cut acrylic pieces. The recycled acrylic is inserted into the gold metallic frame to create the shell and due to the sheets being handmade by me in the studio and also due to the variation, each turtles shell will be unique. They will be matched up in pairs and allocated at random.

All work is solely done by Rock The Panda designer and maker Ruth Anna Moore in Sheffield, United Kingdom. 
The earrings come in their own box off the hoops which can then be threaded through the back easily, held upside down.

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.
