I made these one-of-a-kind earrings with 5-pfennig coins, fleur-de-lis charms, and faceted Czech glass. Hanging from brass leverback earwires. Only one pair available, the item shown here is exactly the one you will receive. Earrings measure 2 inches long, not including earwires (image is enlarged to show details).

The coins themselves are a bit of a history lesson. One reads “Bank Deutscher Lander 1949,” and was one of the first coins circulated in the German Federal Republic after WWII. Uncirculated coins of this type can be worth as much as $50, according to online sources. The other coin, which features the same image but reads “Bundesrepublick Deutchland 1950,” is a standard circulation coin issued from 1950-1999, and removed from circulation when the euro was adopted in 2002. The coins feature oak leaves on the obverse, and wheat on the reverse. The fleur-de-lis, or “lily,” is an old European symbol, often associated with France but widely used as a design motif.

  This is a handmade, one-of-a-kind item I created using real watch gears and parts, a brass lock charm, filigree and other found items. They are either wired in place, or secured in place by E-6000 cement. Inspired by my favorite computer games, Mystery Case Files, which are full of steampunk-ish Victorian goodness. Necklace is brass chain with faceted Czech glass. The centerpiece measures 2-3/4 inches long. Necklace is adjustable between 16-20 inches long, with spring clasp.

Steampunk pieces are costume pieces and works of art, and care should be taken when wearing. There may be sharp or pointy parts which could snag on clothing and/or break off, and these creations should not be subjected to chemicals, perfumes, dyes, lotions, or rigorous treatment, such as wearing while exercising, swimming, working, cleaning, etc. Please note that I have no way to 100% guarantee the condition of any vintage, recycled or “rescued” parts, in regards to being hypoallergenic, or whether they contain lead, nickel, aluminum or any other materials. Purchase and wear at your discretion.

These necklaces are made using old Scrabble tiles (no full sets of Scrabble were harmed in the making of these items). The images are cut from reused items such as calendars, magazines and other ephemera, applied to the tiles, and coated with Ice Resin. The resin is water resistant, but I recommend keeping these out of water and away from any substances such as lotions, cleaners, etc. Charms come on 18-inch leather cord with clasp. Gift boxed. Please note: Monitors vary, so colors may not be exactly the same in person.

Each necklace is a one-of-a-kind creation from my own hands. Only one of each available. I currently have a Fool (F-tile on reverse).
