Steampunk Pendant

March 2009

I love the Victorian aesthetic of Steampunk jewelry. I also love the idea of recycling and putting old bits to good use.

I'm a "hunter gatherer" when it comes to materials. I have boxes of fantastic stuff I've found at flea markets, yard sales and antique malls over the years.

I dove into a box of treasures and arranged these pieces for this pendant. The Victorians loved - some would say were obsessed with - nature so I added pieces that support that focus.

The pendant is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and hangs from an 18" copper ball chain.
