Tiny Steampunk

[caption id="attachment_1226" align="alignnone" width="350" caption="Tiny Steampunk Earrings"]Tiny Steampunk Earrings[/caption] I've been having a lot of fun sorting my bag of watch parts from the antique show last weekend, and I've even made a few little things, just to get a feel for how I can use them in jewelry designs. These earrings are about as small as you can get. They are magnified in the photo; the little gears are maybe 2-3mm, and the pearls are the smallest I was able to find at the Tucson gem shows in 2005. And I spent a lot of time looking for tiny pearls that year... I think they have a steampunk feel because of the gears, but I've never seen steampunk in such a small scale.

  8. thats a great piece of jewellery that you have got in your collection there…makes me feel jealous ..they are absolutely adorable!
    PS: I have initiated an idea to create a fashion and style blogroll where bloggers from the jewelry, fashion, style and beauty could participate.
    All you need to do is to add my blog link to your blog and i’ll do the same.
    That way, we could have a mutual partnership and we could refer visitors to each other’s blog.
    Please let me know if you would be interested.

    Thanks!
