Steampunk Sunday: Jewelry

Today's post will feature exclusively the jewelry from one of my commenters: Steampunk Jewelry Maker. You can visit their Etsy shop for most of the items shared today.

I love jewelry. I seem to collect it, even if I don't have a chance to wear it very often. I really love Steampunk jewelry and I've been planning to do a post on all the lovely things from London Particulars for a while now.

Let's start with necklaces, shall we?

I love the wings and the green gems in this piece. Green is one of my favorite colors , too. 

Doesn't that look like a piece you'd give to the wife of an airship captain? Or maybe even to the captain herself. 

Though not necessarily Steampunk, I couldn't help but love this quill pen necklace. "The perfect Statement Necklace for a Writer" indeed!

Now, how about we move on to earrings?

These dragonfly earrings are absolutely lovely. They manage to look delicate and daring at the same time. 

Look at all the detail on these ones. The lacy details around the edge are perfect for the blue crystals. There's also a matching necklace! A perfect set for the lady in your life. 

Silver studs with gears on a black enamel! I'll admit, I squee'd a bit when I saw these. 

We've covered necks and ears, how about something for the hands. Rings, perhaps?

How about a lovely, delicate butterfly ring?

Or this bold and beautiful statement ring with blue crystals and flowers on the side. 

I love this neo-victorian keyhole ring. It would go great with the antique key necklaces she makes.

Alright ladies, you've had your turn. How about something for the gentlemen?

Cuff links, perhaps?

Or tie tacks?

Whew, that's a lot of jewelry, and I've only covered a fraction of the beautiful pieces that are available. Check the Etsy shop for more absolutely stunning pieces and, if anybody is thinking gifts for a certain writer, that quill necklace is quite lovely, isn't it?

Steampunk Sunday: Accessories

I believe I've mentioned before how much I love the Steampunk aesthetic. 

Have I? Oh, good. 

Now, while you can get away with Steampunk cosplay at conventions and other events, there are times in your life when it's just not appropriate. 

That's where the accessories come in. For example, look at some of these necklaces: 

The tiny gears and writing just make this necklace. I can see wearing it as a statement piece with an otherwise professional looking outfit, or a pendant with a casual one. 

A clockwork dragonfly! Another beautiful pendant to wear with almost anything. 

I love the gems in this piece. The whole thing is so delicate and lovely, I would love to see somebody wear this with a cocktail dress. 

Need something to wear with a jacket? This delicate little brooch will do just the trick.

But remember, Steampunk isn't just for the ladies! There is some beautiful work out there for the gentlemen, as well. 

Like these Steampunk cufflinks. Just the thing to add a little bit of awesome to an otherwise boring suit. 

And for those gentlemen who wear long ties, a Steampunk Tie Clip. 

These are just a few of the ways to add a little bit of steam to your life.
