Stunning & Elegant Roses & Smoke Topaz Necklace - SRA

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 09:06:44 -0700

Not exactly steampunk, and not lampwork either, but I couldn't resist making this piece as it is. The back of the pendant is solid brass with a gorgeous vintage rose of what I believe is copper and brass wire-wrapped in place. Dangling from the main piece on solid brass chains you will find vintage crystals and genuine faceted smokey topaz drops along with a single cultured pearl (which I believe to be an Akoya pearl - "the best").

The pendant measures approx 4" from top of bail to bottom dangle. The chain is solid brass and measures approx. 18" in length. The clasp of the chain is solid 14K Gold safety clasp (usually used on high-end pearl strands).

This is one stunning piece!

This piece was made with so many components featuring genuine stones including, blue sapphire, pink sapphire, blue topaz, tanzanite, pink tourmaline and mystic topaz - total ct weight is over 3cts. An angelic figure holds a hand-carved Italian cameo while resting upon the watch parts containing the gorgeous fully faceted tanzanite stones.

The piece measures approx. 3" from bail to bottom dangling mystic topaz and comes on an 18" cord.

Please note that many parts of this piece were cemented together. The piece should be taken care of properly to avoid damage (i.e. the piece should not be worn while doing excessive exercises/dancing, or while swimming or showering, etc.)

Oceanside Steampunk Necklace w/Cultured Pearl - SRA Steampunk Style

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:42:26 -0700

This is a very unique piece with a gorgeous vintage base metal shell containing sparkle with a small pearl. However, the genuine cultured pearl (which I believe to be an Akoya Pearl, but can not guarantee it) is the one mounted on the steampunk watch movements dangling below which is framed by a solid brass chain mounted with vintage crystals. The chain is very unique in and of itself and consists of chains taken from three different vintage bracelets to create a total and complete look for this necklace. Simply Gorgeous! Check out the back of the piece too - it is the back portion of a pocket watch and really adds to the overall finished design.

The pendant measures approx. 3 3/4" from top of bail to bottom of dangling chain. The chain is approx. 17".

This ring contains a gorgeous Italian hand-carved cameo with an incredible genuine fully faceted sky blue topaz over 1 ct in weight (mounted upside down for the most sparkle in this piece). The watch is vintage and it sits atop an adjustable base metal ring. Two dangling charms held in place by solid brass wire wrapping complete the piece for a very fashionable steampunk style!

Goth Steam Punk Necklace - SRA

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:03:46 -0800

I wasn't sure exactly how to describe this one. This has to be the most unique piece I have made to date! It's actually more of a Goth theme rather than Steam Punk. The base of this piece is a 5" cross and only 2" wide. I removed the junk stones from the cross and set gorgeous genuine stones. The large stones consist of what I believe to be Sky Blue Topaz, White Topaz, Kunzite and Garnet - each being a minimum of 1ct. The smaller stones (18) which are 1-2 points each are genuine tanzanite. The rose which is joined to the cross is believed to be copper and brass and is attached with brass wire. The chain is completely handmade of copper wire with swarovski crystals in each link.

The chain can be worn as either 18" or 22" (or shorter if you like). The clasp is sterling silver.

Please note that this piece should be taken care of properly to avoid damage (i.e. the piece should not be worn while doing excessive exercises/dancing, or while swimming or showering, etc.)

The larger stones used in this piece are all genuine semi-precious stones, I don't have a way to test them to confirm exactly what they are, so I listed what I believe them to be and all ct weight is approx.

Captured in Time - Steam Punk Shadow Box Jewelry SRA

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:38:35 -0800

This has to be one of my absolute favorites. Made from an old pocket watch with a beautiful horse design on the cover, a gorgeous etched design on the back done in a gold tone case. But don't be fooled! Open the watch up and inside you will find an antique watch with a gorgeous single copper rose on a stem with a leaf, along with a pinwheel all framed out behind the pocket watch crystal. A treat for your eyes and a surprise to anyone you show it to. Totally not what one would expect to find! It's a small shadow box picture within the pocket watch case. The chain was left on the watch to be used however you like (as a neckpiece or wear it as you would any other pocket watch).

The watch measures approx. 2/14" top to bottom. The chain is about a 13".

Company in the Garden Steampunk Necklace - SRA ADJ

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:47:01 -0800

Let me start by saying... my husband called this piece "Exquisite and Stunning." (He's so used to my jewelry making that he rarely comments at all). This will quickly become your signature piece.

This piece is made on a fancy piece of brass with a leaf motif. The single rose is being visited by a butterfly. Silver arms poke out from under the rose bearing crystal like buds. The dangles on either side of the piece are brass and the watch dangling in the center is mounted (wired) onto yet another brass piece. The chain contains 2 lampwork beads and vintage crystals. The gold beads are believed to be 14k. The dangling watch is removable.

The piece measures approx. 4" top to bottom and just over 4 1/2" wide. The chain length is adjustable up to 20".

My new designs in the Steam Punk style are made with the same high standards as my lampwork jewelry designs. Steampunk jewelry will also include bits and pieces of times gone by, including techno parts (watch pieces), and just about anything Victorian.
