Steampunk Necklace Running watch movement gears 14k Gold Filled Victorian silver filigree flower leaf butterfly pearl purple crystal
This handmade one of a kind, Victorian inspired kinetic sculpture Steampunk Necklace, is a absolutely exquisite piece of wearable Steampunk Jewelry art!
Featured is an antique circa 1890, gold gilded Swiss made pocket watch movement, securely nestled within a antique 14K White Gold Filled engraved pocket watch case.
What is most fascinating about this incredible art piece, is that the watch movement itself runs when wound, showcasing it lovely moving gears!
The pocket watch mechanism is stunning. This is a beautifully handmade, high grade pocket watch displaying ornately designed gear plates, 17 brilliant genuine ruby jewels, exposed gold gears and highly polished silver steel wheels and accents.
This amazing Statement Necklace has a fully functional, running watch mechanism that is easy to operate, just wind the winding crown located at the top of the pocket watch case (Between the two pearls) and it will run about 16 to 20 hours, once fully wound.
I will be posting a link to a video demonstrating the watch running and how to properly operate the pocket watch, very soon.
I've securely housed the watch movement within a exquisitely engraved, antique 14K White Gold Filled man pocket watch case, circa 1910. The pocket watch case is ornately engraved around the circumference and back of the case. The engraving on the back lid of the watch is not as crisp as it once was, however details are still easily seen and there are no wear spots to be found. All in all it in terrific shape for being 100+ years old!
I've embellished the movement with a Art Nouveau styled antiqued Sterling Silver over brass, butterfly which is securely mounted to the watch by a steel screw. The butterfly is adorned with various vintage steel watch gears set with faceted Swarovski crystal stones.
Two sterling silver over brass filigree leaf sprays are also securely fastened to the watch by steel screws. Along with two lovely flowers I fashioned from antiqued gold bead caps and antique steel watch gears set with purple Amethyst Swarovski crystal stones. A genuine pearl drop capped in Sterling silver over brass filigree hangs delicately from a leaf and adds the final finishing touch to the pendant.
Two genuine pearls attach the pendant to a 24-inch long, antiqued silver soldered oval link chain with lobster clasp completing the necklace.
The pendant measures: 3-1/8 inches tall by 2-1/2 inches wide.
If needed the chain can be shorten or lengthened further, just message me for details.
