Erstwilder - The Possum 'Midin' Drop Brooch - Melanie Hava

$35.00

Some say that the Pseudocheirus Peregrinus AKA The Ringtail Possum is the most common Possum in Australia, but we prefer to think of them as the most famous. Agile, sweet, and nocturnal by nature, our Possum 'Midin' Brooch knows that any time is a good time to be fabulous. This gorgeous and detailed design is a part of our long-awaited collaboration with Aboriginal Artist Melanie Hava. With layered resin and featuring hand-finished details, Melanie's incredible art has been taken off canvas and brought to life as wearable art.

DESIGN STORY
Equipped with night vision and a tail as good as an extra hand, there's nothing common about me, despite what they may say

INFORMATION:

Original artwork by Melanie Hava
65mm x 50mm (H x W)

Each piece is hand assembled, hand painted and released in limited quantities. All designs are made from layered resin. As designs are produced from original illustrations and are hand assembled, hand painted and hand finished, there may be minor differences from piece to piece, making each as unique as those who wear them. Metal components used in creating this piece include a beautiful and strong silver-plated steel brooch pin. Any earring posts, earring hooks, necklace chains and jump rings used for this piece are made from silver-plated.

Ships in custom branded gift box, with a story card insert included under the lid.

CARE

Please be aware that resin is akin to ceramic and glass and therefore may be damaged if dropped or knocked. Due to the use of high quality silver-plating in our brooch clasps, tarnishing and oxidisation can occur, producing black and gold discolouration. As with all silver products, you can simply restore it using a silver cloth. Keep your Erstwilder companion neatly tucked away in this box when not being worn, avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, water and excessive sunlight and you’ll have a trusted friend for years to come.
