SOLD Steampunk “Time Flies” Necklace
May 28th, 2008 by Jen
This item sold on eBay for $154.49.
One-of-a-kind steampunk necklace assembled with new and vintage materials. I designed and created this piece using pocket watch and wrist watch parts, a faceted Czech glass bead, leather, brass chain, brass dragonfly charm, propeller, heart and key charms, and other findings. The round piece in the center measures 1-1/2 inches across.
All of my jewelry is made to the best of my ability, but please understand that the Steampunk pieces in particular are also costume pieces and works of art, made with vintage materials, and as such should not be subjected to rigorous treatment. Pulling, tugging, smashing, yanking, bending, or wearing during vigorous activity (such as at a busy job or out dancing) is not recommended. Pieces should be stored carefully when not in use.

About the artist: I have long loved Leonardo Da Vinci, Jules Verne, Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, the Victorian period, la Belle Epoque, Edwardian era, art nouveau, and movies like ‘Howl’s Moving Castle,’ ‘Wild Wild West,’ ‘Return to Oz,’ ‘Stardust,’ the Harry Potter films, ‘Time Machine,’ ‘Somewhere in Time,’ and ‘Time After Time.’ For a decade, I’ve been making jewelry inspired by art nouveau and earlier eras, and designing jewelry using vintage or found materials. But I didn’t officially start making “Steampunk” jewelry until 2007, when a friend of mine told me that there was a name for this sort of thing!
