Steampunk Necklace sterling silver dragonfly watch movement gears opal blue Swarovski crystal leaf slide chainSteampunk Necklace sterling silver dragonfly watch movement gears opal blue Swarovski crystal leaf slide chain
The perfect piece of wearable Steampunk art! This handmade one of a kind, necklace features a rare antique circa 1880, 15 genuine ruby jewel Swiss made, pocket watch movement with ornate gear plates.
I've adorned the watch with a beautifully detailed Art Nouveau inspired, vintage solid sterling silver filigree dragonfly, which I set a genuine Australian opal and a antique watch gear with blue topaz Swarovski crystal faceted stone.
A sterling silver over brass leaf spray with a vintage watch gear set with blue topaz Swarovski crystal and a tower of various antique gears set with the largest of the blue topaz Swarovski crystal stones completes the pendant.
I absolutely love antique ladies slide chains which were popular in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. They consisted of a very long continuous chain (45" to 48-inches long) with a decorative slide in the middle and a watch swivel on one end to hook into the bow of the watch. the slide could then move up or down the chain to adjust the look and fit of a chain.
I've fashioned my own version of a Victorian watch slide chain to accent this stunning pendant.
The chain I made is 48-inches long (Meant to be double up and worn at a 24-inch length), and is made from antiqued silver chain and a beautiful opalescent Swarovski crystal filigree piece, I made to fit as the "slide". A sturdy lobster clasp is the "swivel" that allows you to attach the pendant to the chain. It is a fun, easy and unique way to wear a chain and also is easily removed from this pendant to be worn with other pieces if you choose to.
The pendant measures: 2-1/4 inches long by 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
If needed the chain can be shorten or lengthened further, just message me for details.
