Erstwilder - Christmas Bettle Brooch - May Gibbs (2023)

Part of our 2023 Erstwilder x May Gibbs collection, this Christmas Beetle brooch has been caringly constructed from layered resins and finished with a combination of printing and highly detailed line work. A product of the imagination of one of Australia's most-beloved artists, Snugglepot better hold on tight on this adventure.

DESIGN STORY
"A large handsome Beetle steed was brought out and a long stick handed to Snugglepot. The game was about to begin."

SIZE:
50mm x 58mm (H x W)

INFORMATION:
Each piece is made from laser-cut and layered resin, hand assembled, hand painted and released in limited quantities. As all of our designs are lovingly glued, assembled and painted by hand, there can be very slight variations and blemishes from piece to piece. Due to the hand-mixed nature of the resins in our designs, it is also common and normal to find tiny flecks or bubbles in the resin layers. All in all, this just makes each piece as special and unique as you are.

Brooch clasp is made with 100% stainless steel pin and plated brass screws. Components have changed over time and older designs may be made with other materials..

Designs come packaged in Erstwilder gift boxes

CARE
Please be aware that resin is akin to ceramic and glass and therefore may be damaged if dropped or knocked. 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. Please note that for any design with etched linework, particularly on mirror resins, and especially where lines curve, may have a slightly jagged or uneven appearance. This feature is due to the nature of the materials and an expected part of the process of production. Also note, mirrored acrylic cannot be polished or tumbled during the production process so it will not feature the smooth edge that you would expect on other resin pieces
