Description

Sue has made these interesting and understated Steampunk Padlock Earrings as an addition to the Steampunk range of jewellery.

What is Steampunk?

It is a genre of science fiction where everything is powered by steam with mechanical moving parts. This is why you see so many cogs, wheels and drive shafts within this stunningly beautiful pendant.

With the Pirate / maritime motif, this pendant has a strong resonance with the Steampunk icons Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

Steampunk Lifestyle

At its simplest, Steampunk can be seen as a way of giving your personal technology a goth make-over. Imagine a top of the range computer made to look like an old typewriter.

But at its deepest, Steampunk is a whole way of looking and living: and a colourful protest against the inexorable advance of technology itself. And it’s a trend that’s sneaking its way into loads of different sectors: from fashion to film, interior design to video games.

Sue and These Steampunk Padlock Earrings

While Sue is not into the Steampunk lifestyle, she loves making each of her steampunk creations unique and individual. The original LoveTaliesin Steampunk jewellery has exposed metal parts.

The Steampunk Padlock Earrings are hand-made with love and care by Sue using antique bronze charms and copper ear hooks.

Antique Bronze is neither antique, nor is it bronze. It is the name of the profound, dark chocolate finish which nearly approaches black. Thin, copper-coloured highlights on select edges create an attractive appearance suggestive of classic eras long since gone. The colours tone in well with the brooches and pendants that Sue makes using similar materials.

The earrings are 2.9 cm from the ear hook to the bottom of the Padlock charm.

They cost just £5.99 with free postage and packaging in the UK.
