Please note each piece may differ from one to the next, and to the 'The Kindhearted Koala' brooch pictured. The design features a mix of magnificent marbled resins which can differ from piece to piece, as well as several smaller parts that will feature different colours depending on the piece you're lucky enough to receive. As Pete Cromer himself says: “They are all unique souls, therefore no two will ever be the same.”

A very special collaboration with beloved Australian artist Pete Cromer, this brilliant Koala brooch has been brought to life from a combination of marbled and solid resins. She's lovingly designed, hand-assembled and hand-painted, and she is looking forward to settling down for a nap in your arms.

“$5 from the sale of each of these Koala pieces sold will be donated to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. Thank you for helping us help our furry little friends in need!”

STORY

Wrapped around a gumnut tree. The sleepy, sweet Koala takes her third nap of the day

INFO

Original Design: Pete Cromer

Height 65 mm x Width 44 mm

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 finger print marks and 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 clasps, necklace chains and jump rings are made from silver-plated steel. Earrings hooks and posts are made from high quality, hypoallergenic stainless steel.

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.

Koala Kutie

In pre-school the “class stuffed animal” was Katie the Koala, and I’ve pretty much loved Koalas since then. So obviously, this purchase was a no brainer. My inner child couldn’t be happier with this piece!
