SOLD Victorian Steampunk Necklace

I just finished this piece last night, using filigree charms, metal tubes, brass findings and chain, vintage pocket watch parts, and Czech glass. I particularly love the floral button, which was made using a spring case from a broken pocket watch (note the gear teeth around the edge of it), a padded fabric brad from a craft store, and a brass filigree backing (see enlarged picture below for detail). The brass bit in the center is also from a pocket watch, a piece of the internal workings, and even though it was not intended to be visible while the watch was in working order, it is still engraved with lovely scrollwork. It also has some patina, as it is from a vintage, broken watch. Necklace is a one-of-a-kind unique creation, handmade in my studio.
