Approximately 6cm steampunk drop earrings using reproduction cogs, aluminum square nuts and cogs upcycled from a vintage watch movement.
All my steampunk pieces are one of a kind. Where possible I upcycle original parts but some newly manufactured elements are required. These look flat so I add patina with the use of a fine file where they would naturally gain patina. This brings out the base metal colour. Patina is an important element of steampunk and this 'aging' or 'distressing' can only be do by hand. In this case the small cogs have been aged.
This is one of a series of steampunk jewellery pieces I have made, will be making. Why not take advantage of combined postage and buy several items.
