Description

Sue has hand-made these attractive Steampunk Watch Parts Resin Earrings. They are teardrop shaped with delicate watch parts set into a clear resin layer. The cog is an iconic steampunk accessory and each earring is slightly unique because it contains so many tiny components.

Whether you’re into the Steampunk sub-culture or if you just want to look great in a hand-made one-off jewellery piece, these Steampunk Watch Parts Resin Earrings are a striking addition to your jewellery collection.

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 these earrings.

The cogs also give these earrings 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 Watch Parts Resin Earrings

While Sue is not into the Steampunk lifestyle, she loves making each of her steampunk creations unique and individual. Using a very strong adhesive, she first attaches the larger elements of her design together, then adds progressively smaller cogs, springs, shafts and other watch parts. The result is an intricate piece of jewellery that is both beautiful and a real one-off.

In a full day in her studio, Sue will be able to produce no more than ten pieces, ensuring that her ideas remain fresh each time she sits down to create new Steampunk designs.

Each earring is 4.7cm from the ear hook to the bottom of the teardrop.  The pair are yours for only £15.99 with free postage and packaging in the UK.
