Steampunk jewelry Steampunk Necklace pocket watch movement garnet pearls red crystal gold dragonfly silver filigree flower Statement

DESCRIPTION:

Get yourself noticed with this exceptional, one of a kind handmade, Couture Steampunk Statement necklace.

Incredibly unique, the combination of themes; Victorian, Steampunk and nature are the perfect compliments to this stunning piece of wearable art.

There are so many wonderful details to discover with this necklace. All of the vintage antique elements that I listed below, range in age from circa 1890 to 1940. It took much time to find each individual unique item and to configure the design. Taking the raw materials, adding each element and painstakingly hand creating each component of this amazing necklace was a labor of love.

Let start with the center focal piece:

I utilized a antique circa 1890, hand finished ornately guilloche engraved, two-tone Swiss made 11 ruby jewel pocket watch movement. I paired this stunning watch with a Sterling Silver over brass floral motif filigree frame.

The pocket watch itself is absolutely gorgeous! I love the combination of contrasting gold and silver gears, screws and wheel plates. Brilliant genuine ruby jewels, exposed gears and spectacular checkered and scroll motif engraving make for an exquisite timepiece.

I've added two embellishments to the pocket watch. The first is a antique steel watch gear set with a faceted 1.5 carat genuine garnet and the second is a Victorian inspired, antiqued gold floral motif dragonfly decorated with three vintage watch gears set with red Swarovski crystal stones. A beautiful garnet res cubic zirconia faceted briolette drop capped in filigree and topped with a genuine pearl completes center piece.

The two smaller watches on either side of the center focal pendant are a set of matching Swiss made wristwatches, circa 1940. Each of these watch movements displays brilliant genuine ruby jewels, exposed gold brass gears and highly polished gear plates.

I've adorned both of the watch mechanisms with a steel antique watch winding gear, set with a faceted red Swarovski crystal stone.

I also fashioned an ornate prong setting/bezel out of a piece antiqued silver filigree, to keep the watches safe, secure and to add to the beauty of the necklace.

The remainder of the this Statement piece is made up of hand wire wrapped, round and bicone garnet red Swarovski crystal beads (Some capped in Sterling silver over brass filigree), silver flower adornments and Victorian styled accents. All of these lovely baubles leads to dual strands of gunmetal rolo link chain with a secure lobster clasp closure.

A 4-inch extension and garnet red faceted Swarovski crystal drop completes this gorgeous necklace.

The necklace measures: 18-inches long at its shortest or use the chain extension to lengthen it up to 22-inches if desired.

The center piece/focal with pocket watch measures: 2-3/4 inches long by 1-/34 inches in diameter.

Both of the smaller matching watches in filigree bezels measure: 1-1/8 inches in diameter.

This is a truly, one of a kind jewelry art necklace and something that will be surely treasured for a lifetime.

If needed the chain can be shorten or lengthened further, just message me for details.
