Steampunk via Etsy

So I've been getting into steampunk lately (though really, I think I've been into it without knowing for a while - proof is here, here and here). I went hunting for some unique pieces via etsy and found these:



Cosmic Owl Head Cuff Links

Offered by CosmicFirefly
Vintage non-working watch movements looks like a mechanical Robot Owl Face. Movements are over 60 years old and are from small wristwatches that could no longer be repaired. Silver plated cuff link hardware on back.


Steampunk Brooch
Offered By edmdesigns
This is a stunning brooch made from a vintage Swiss 17 ruby jeweled watch movement. It has been mounted on a vintage art deco style wing style base. It is a very solid piece that is truly gorgeous. The watch movement measures approximately 1/2 inch in wide. The brass wing span measures approx 2 inches wide. Some signs of aging may be present (although the findings are really quite brilliant in shine - so no worries) as this piece is well over 50 years old and will only loan to its authenticity of the era.


Steampunk Lapel Pin
Offered by nouveaumotley
This gorgeous lapel pin was made using a remnant of a New York Standard pocket watch from the late 1800s.
