One of Australia’s most mysterious monotreme mammals, the Platypus is a wonder to behold. You may find them hard to spot out in the wild but you can’t miss our Platypus ‘Gugula’ Brooch. A part of our long-awaited collaboration with Aboriginal Artist Melanie Hava, this stunning design features layered resin and hand-finished details, Melanie’s incredible art has been taken off canvas and brought to life as wearable art.

70mm x 27mm (H x W)

DESIGN STORY

I’m often referred to as distinct and unique, but did you know when I was first discovered some scientists thought I was a hoax?

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 fingerprint 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.  Small bubbles and flecks are not considered to be faults. Any items that do not pass our quality inspection will be identified as Imperfects and sold as such. Your item has been inspected and meets the reasonable standard for handmade resin and hand painted items – any minor bubbles or tiny marks are not considered faults on these handmade items and returns will not be accepted. We do not accept returns for change of mind. If an item is damaged in transit your parcel is insured for up to $100. If you wish to add more insurance please advise us in writing at time of purchase to arrange additional coverage.

Brooch clasps are made from plated brass. Earrings hooks and posts are made from high quality, hypoallergenic stainless steel.

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.
