HMS 420, a reflective black stone lodged inside a copper olive. Just another nautical keychain.

Old Grogram is another nautical keychain, much like The Barnacle and Big Blue. However, this keychain features a (lightweight!) anchor.

Yes! Another nautical piece. Much like The Barnacle, this piece features a central copper olive surrounded by an assortment of gears and cogs. This piece is sturdy and makes for a rather unique keychain.

Say “ahoy” to The Barnacle. A shiny, ocean coloured gem wrapped within a golden spiral gives this pendant a nautical touch while maintaining it’s steampunk vibe. The central olive in the middle is hugged by a length of copper-spring.

This dapper little owl comes straight from the scrap yard. One eye is a stack of washers and cogs, the other eye-socket features a lump of gemstone in a bed of metal. He’s a cute little thing that can be latched to anything you please.

Destination: Mars and Jupiter’s Eye are two pins I made on the fly. Using similar materials to my Apache Tear necklace, I added some US-imported beads. Jupiter’s Eye also features an inch of copper spring which cuddles the “planet” inside. These badges can be pinned to fabrics or used to give a shelf some eye-candy.

Using a chain, a handful of watch guts, three tiny gemstones, metal wing models and standard superglue, I was able to create this dapper steampunk necklace/pendant. The primary stone used in the middle of the central cog is an Apache tear and the other two are unknown. The metal appears to be a mixture of brass and steel.
