One-of-a-kind altered-art steampunk fairy necklace, assembled with new and vintage materials, pocket watch parts, faceted Czech glass beads, brass chain, silver-plated wire and brass wire. The fairy centerpiece measures 3 inches across, 1-1/2 inches high. Enlarged photo shows details, including words, numbers and other embellishments on the “wings.”

When I created this piece, I had recently finished reading the book “Whitechapel Gods” by S.M. Peters, and was inspired by the imagery of human beings being caught up in the workings of powerful machines, turning into machines themselves. I worked on this item for several weeks, from inception and the search for just the right parts, through assemblage and completion.

These earrings feature brass filigree, real watch gears, and faceted Czech glass. Earrings are 1-1/2 inches long, not including brass lever-back earwires (image enlarged to show details). One-of-a-kind original jewelry creation, made in my personal studio. No working watches were harmed in the making of this jewelry.

My 4-year-old daughter loves mermaids, and she loves mazes, so I made this for her. It is entirely my own drawing, and you have my permission to print it out, put it on your website, or use it at your school. I just ask that you give me credit, and do not try to pass this off as your own work. Click on thumbnail for full image. Enjoy!

Brass propellers do turn (with manual manipulation) which is why they are shown here in slightly different positions. Earrings are 2-1/4 inches long, not including brass lever-back earwires. Handmade original creation from my personal studio.

A gear-operated guardian angel… This is the second angel charm necklace that I’ve made with brass-finish pewter wings, faceted translucent glass beads, and tiny gears from a broken wrist watch. The “halo” is also a watch gear. Angel measures 1-inch high, not including ring at top. The glass is clear, like crystal, though the image shows it looking a little gray — that’s an issue with the picture, not the item. Handmade creation from my own studio.
