| Copper Spiral and Brass Gear Earrings |
A kind customer once wrote that they liked my style because I made pieces that went beyond the "Gears! SQUEE!" sentiment of most steampunk jewelry. While I definitely do lapse into an odd state of bliss when I see exquisite watch parts, I do try to go beyond the usual when it comes to designing my pieces. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I think these work. I made and sold (!) a similar pair years ago, and I wanted to perfect the techniques involved and even improve on the effect; the main difference is that the previous spiral earrings were not given a verdigris finish. I happen to love how these turned out! They are the same length, despite the difference in the photograph; I wanted them to dangle as I took it, and I used the only decorative straight-ish thing I had as the hanger!
Of course, these unique DreamSteam original design earrings are for sale on ArtFire. I hope someone likes these enough to give them a home. (They even come in a pretty red organza ribbon drawstring gift bag!)
These have now sold (thank you!). Look for more to appear in my shop very soon!
