The world of Steampunk is currently enjoying a renaissance.
Out of all the strange and fascinating Steampunk accessories that go with this Neo- Victorian art form, my passion is for Steampunk Jewelry.

When I see someone wearing Steampunk Jewelry, it’s like a symbol, as recognisable as the compass and setsquare of the freemasons, the pentagram of the Wiccans or the Ankh of the Goths (and lets not forget Ancient Egyptians!).

In my mind there is so much more to Steampunk Jewelry than cogs and old watch parts glued to rings and pendants, with the repurposing of these components there is an intrinsic appreciation of the skill and artistry of the past.

Securing old watch parts has become no easy task, as enthusiasts are snapping up vintage timepieces and contemporary watches are comprised mainly of plastic, making them irrelevant.

Whilst there has always been a collectable market for wonderfully crafted timepieces

Sadly broken or less collectable watches were discarded, but with the Steampunk movement the intricate and beautiful objects of yesteryear have been given a new lease of life.

When you open the watches and clocks of yesteryear it’s like opening a treasure chest; you’ll often find rubies along with the elaborate and gorgeous movements.
With the resetting of these movements and rearrangement of the components these antiquated artefacts take on a fresh new relevance in this wonderful and intricate art form.

Steampunk Cufflinks

Interesting in acquiring Steampunk Cufflinks? Would you consider trading money for a pair of stunning silver lovelies, they’re sure to make even the grimiest of cuffs sparkle. I would not be surprised at all if were you to purchase my cufflinks, you might find yourself described as a fop and dandy and the very paragon of style, a bastion of sartorial greatness.

These exceptionally gorgeous (not my words, the words of my cat who covets them greatly) cufflinks are made from purrfectly matched Vintage Hamilton Ruby Jeweled Watch Movements and as you can see, they are elongated in their oval loveliness. These cufflinks would suit anyone, from dwarf to giant and those in-between.

To see more Steampunk Jewelry of incomparable brilliance and assured loveliness, visit London Particulars today (or tomorrow depending where you are).

I recently made this rather spiffing (if I do say so myself) Steampunk Jewelry Ring. This one, unlike most of my other Neo Victorian pieces, actually has a mechanism which allows it to spin.

Imagine, if you will, your airship crash lands in some awful, inhospitable wasteland and your miles and miles from any form of civilization.

Why, if you were wearing this absolutely gorgeous Steampunk ring, you could use the spinning apparatus to catch the gleam of the sun or moon and reflect it far into the distance, to signal to any curious souls who may be scouring the horizon with their spyglasses.

I don’t mean to claim that this ring might actually save your life, but who knows. It certainly might in a parallel universe and its always worthwhile investing in ways to protect your parallel others…

For more of these Steampunk delights, you could do worse than pay a visit to London Particulars, quick smart!

Steampunk Quill Pen by Drono

You’re a dedicated Steampunk and it’s been a long dusty shift on the airship but before you kick off your boots and hang up your goggles for the day there’s still some work to do…you sit down at your desk and flick open the ships log, grab you trusty quill and detail the day’s events with the style and grace befitting any honorable rogue of your age.

Your swashbuckling chronicle would make the ladies swoon and softer men shiver with fear but for you, it’s all in a day’s work.

If you’re in need of a spectacular Steampunk quill pen to recount your Neo Victorian exploits then Steampunk Maker Michael White is your chap! Michael is the proprietor of Drono in Southern California and the Sculptor of these most fantastical and unique quill pens.

These miniature works of art are forged with fully functional practicality should you wish to indulge in some creative endeavors of your own.

For those of you who haven’t played BioShock, it’s an utterly compelling game with elements of horror, madness, blood thirsty gamer action addiction and psychosis all set within a literally immersive undersea world.

BioShock was a real game changer (pun intended), with it’s lovingly created Art Deco world. The true horror within the game undoubtedly came from the Big Daddy’s – hulking leviathans with more than a touch of Steampunk about them with their old fashioned brass diving suits, violent machinations roaming through a twilit underwater world.

Which brings me back to the end of the world, or 2012 and the incredibly exciting news concerning BioShock Infinite. Just look at the trailer as the BioShock world shifts from the sea to the skies – providing out and out Steampunk gameplay!

Silver Steampunk Necklace

I’ve just finished a new range of Steampunk Necklaces and I’m hoping to get a new “film” showcasing some of these pieces in the very near future.

Being an avid sun dodger I find it easy to work jewelry at this time of year. Shutting myself away in my windowless studio is the perfect way to avoid the summer months.

Summer just doesn’t suit my Steampunk aesthetic, I like the mysterious drear of the autumn and winter. I’d imagine it’s the same for a lot of other Neo-Victorians, with all those waistcoats and top hats, attire which is must better suited for dark and chilly days.

Once I emerge from my clockwork cave, I’ll get the new Steampunk Necklaces video uploaded…

Steampunk Leviathan

There’s no doubt that Jules Verne’s 1869 tale “20,000 Leagues under the Sea” could be considered a Steampunk classic, along with the works of HG Wells. Quite what these authors would make of the term “Steampunk” is another thing altogether.

So I’m absolutely delighted to hear that one of my favorite Film Makers; David Fincher will be directing this Neo Victorian classic! I loved Seven, Fight Club and Zodiac and whilst they are in no way considered Steampunk they’re definitely dark classics.

When asked what the appeal of filming 20,000 Leagues hold for him, David Fincher responded “”You know, the idea of doing a gigantic Steampunk science fiction movie from 1873″

It’s surprising that so far there have been no out and out Steampunk blockbuster movies and whilst there have been many recent films with Neo Victorian leanings, no one has yet made a definitive Steampunk film – here’s hoping this will be the first of many!

Steampunk Mr. Potato Head

Almost every day there seems to be some fresh and new invention in the world of Steampunk, but never in my most feverish of dreams would I have considered a Steampunk Mr. Potato Head, yet he is here he is!

Mr. Potato Head has been around since 1952 in one form or another, but perhaps the maker, George Lerner, found the blueprints from 1852 in some sort of bizarre time capsule.

I’d love to see some more accessories made available for this Neo-Victorian Mr. Potato Head, perhaps a walking cane (or better yet, swordstick), a trusty revolver for more fiendish adventures, pocket watch and if he gets especially thirsty, a small hipflask of port or brandy.

Elgin Steampunk Cufflinks

The Steampunk Cufflinks I sell in my Etsy shop, London Particulars, have been selling like hot cakes recently. Perhaps hot cakes is a poor analogy. I can’t remember the last time I bought a “hot cake”. OK, perhaps to rephrase, my cufflinks have been selling like very popular cakes of no fixed temperature.

I have so many different types of watch movements and each make has its own unique features but through working with vintage watch parts through the last couple of years, Elgin are definitely a favorite, they always seem to have the most exceptional gleam!

The Elgin watch company was created in eighteen sixty four at the end of the civil war and over the course of a hundred years, they made around sixty million watches. I’ve fashioned quite a few Steampunk Cufflinks, but going by that number, there are still a lot of vintage Elgin watch movements to hunt down…

Steampunk Boba Fett

Steampunk is continuously crossing boundaries and genres and it’s only natural that it’s found its way to Star Wars through the work of artist Greg Peltz.

I love this Steampunked Boba Fett, one of the more popular characters from the film which is weird considering what a minor role he had in the first films; it must have been that enigmatic mask, the strong silent bounty hunter…

As the artist points out, Boba is now clad in Neo Victorian coat and tails which may play havoc with his jet-pack. Other Steampunked characters on the artist’s site include Darth Vader in civil war attire, a dapper 3CPO and Chewbacca complete with monocle.

The Liberator

In dark times those who are ahead of the curve, particularly ladies and gentlemen of a Steampunk persuasion, will be preparing themselves for all eventualities.

Many folk are naturally concerned with portends concerning a full scale zombie apocalypse.

Whilst some may scoff, only the other day, I clearly saw the distinctive outline of a zombie hoard in my tea leaves.

Not only that, whilst dashing through collection of shopping emporiums (all under one roof) I could distinctly see the first signs of the brainless undead, peering absently and vacuously through windows at clothes and inanimate objects.

So what better way than for a Neo Victorian adventurer to kit themselves out for impending calamity than with this Steampunk Gun, the Liberator, fashioned by a gentleman with a wonderful moniker; Colonel J. Fizziwig…

Would you look at that this Steampunk marvel!
A spectacular piece of Neo Victorian craftsmanship created by Richard R. Nagy of  Datamancer.net.

If I had more shillings in my coffers I’d be highly tempted to secure this in the auction currently taking place on eBay. Alas, I cannot stretch to the sum being asked, being one thousand and five hundred pennies (or cents), not without selling more Steampunk Jewelry this month at any rate!

The keyboard is made from solid brass and antiquated leather and also includes genuine keys from the nineteen thirties/forties.

Imagine the sorts of novels you could conjure up using such a wonderful device and with some of the modded monitors and Steampunk USB sticks doing the rounds, you really could have some fully functioning Neo-Victorian marvels for your home office.

Steampunk Butterfly for the Soul

This is one of my latest Steampunk Necklaces, a charming, bejeweled butterfly caught upon a chain.
The Butterfly has many meanings in folklore and symbology.

For the Germans, butterflies were believed to be witches trying to steal the cream from the butter churns, whilst for the Mandarin Chinese, butterflies are a symbol of a long life.
The Russian’s word for Butterfly signifies the tiny creatures were associated with the soul and so to for the ancient Greeks, whose word for butterfly is “psyche”, which literally means soul.

My Steampunk Butterfly is a study in Violet and Pink, with a Vintage Ruby Jeweled Watch Movement and Amethyst and Rose Swarovski Crystals, mounted upon a silver plated filigree butterfly and can mean whatever you want it to!

Whilst the new USBTypewriter™ isn’t really Steampunk, I think anyone with a love of the antiquated merging with future technologies will love this new invention.

The maker, Jack Zylkin, describes the gadget as a “new and groundbreaking innovation in the field of obsolescence” and whilst this may be true, personally I love obsolescence! Steampunk Jewelry is an art form which is borne from obsolescence with all of those gorgeous vintage watch movements being rescued from the yawning abyss of ever growing landfill.

As you can see from the video, you get the aesthetic pleasure of using an old fashioned typewriter which serves as your keyboard with the attendant tip-tapping clatter of the typewriter, hooked up by USB to your PC, MAC or Ipad for a very strange fusion of old and new.

The USBTypewriter™ seems like the perfect way to get your Steampunk novel written, in retro-futuristic fashion and style!

Mark Eliot Schwabe

I’ve just added a new page to Steampunk Jewelry which will feature interviews and photographs of Steampunk Makers and Artists.

This week I’m featuring an interview with Mark Eliot Schwabe, a designer of Neo-Victorian wonders and all sorts of fascinating crafts and sculptures, an artist extraordinaire with a great story in how he found his place in the constantly evolving world of Steampunk.

Over the coming weeks I hope to add to this new page, whilst keeping the main page for my latest Steampunk Jewelry designs and snippets of news of the strange and bizarre!

Steampunk Cufflinks for all generations!

Steampunk Cufflinks, that most perfect gift for Father’s Day! Well, depending on where your Father sits with the whole Neo-Victorian movement…

But why not get your Dad involved today? Or better yet, his Dad! Yes, I’m proposing a Steampunk Grandfather, naturally clad in full Victorian regalia, complete with goggles.

Just think, the Steampunk Father or Grandfather would be the perfect person to carry a well concealed swordstick and you never need worry about their safety, knowing that they are armed at all times.
I think it’s high time the swordstick made a comeback.

Googles would also be a perfect accessory for your Steampunk Father/Grandfather, exactly what they need when their hidden away in their sheds and workshops making whatever exactly it is, that they work away at…

So bring your Fathers and Grandfathers into the future (or perhaps the future-past) today, send them a pair of Steampunk Cufflinks and together we can create a whole new Neo-Victorian Subculture!

Is the might of the evil Neo-Victorian Empire bearing down on you?

If a swordstick will not suffice, perhaps it’s time to consider bringing out the heavy guns… or, um Sabers.
Not any old Saber though, this is a Steampunk Lightsaber!

This futuristic, yet arcane sword of light will cut down your foes in a trice. No longer do you have to go through the ritual of profanity and goading your enemy into attending a formal duel, now you can simply pull your sword of light and dispatch your adversary to Valhalla, or Hades, or wherever their bound.

I believe the Steampunk Lightsaber is the future!

Steampunk Globe

Whilst taking a short break from creating Steampunk Jewelry and traveling across the four corners of cyberspace, in search of wonders and adventure, I discovered a delightful emporium; Bo Press Miniature Books.

I love this Cairo Pocket Globe. Cairo, surely the destination for any self respecting Neo-Victorian seeker of occults treasures and knowledge…

The artist, Patricia Sweet, designs and illustrates her own tiny books and binds them using traditional methods, a true artisan! The paper and leather covers come from all over the world and the content inside the books include old songs, imaginary maps and even tiny tomes regarding lizards!

I imagine lovers of all things Steampunk, will appreciate these amazing, Lilliputian handmade journals and books and you can even fill them with your own writings and adventures, perfect for recording your daring exploits as you map the world aboard your airship.

Ruby Red Steampunk Ring

I’ve been hard at work making a new collection of Steampunk Rings and this is one of my latest pieces, a beautiful Seventeen Ruby Jeweled Watch Movement. It’s already set with Jewels, but I added a large Ruby Red Swarovski Crystal to really make it stand out.

Sometimes these vintage Watch Movements need no enhancements, but this one is slightly grimy, in the best post-apocalyptic sense, so I thought a splash of red crystal would counter-balance the grime and wear which comes with age. It’s great to have a little wear now and then, rather than shiny-new jewelry which whilst it looks nice and sparkly, hardly fits with the Steampunk aesthetic.

As mentioned, I have a whole range of Steampunk Rings and hope to feature some more of these tarnished wonders in the near future!

Steampunk Jewelry Key

I’ve been collecting keys for a long time now and I have absolutely no idea what they open! People have sent me strange keys from where I have no idea; I’ve found keys and even purchased them on the web from far flung corners all over the world.

I often wonder what some of these ancient black keys open, are they doors I would even want to know about? What rooms would they open, what kinds of houses and dwellings do they belong to, who lived there, who used to use these heavy, iron keys and are the owners even still alive? Or are they locked out in the pouring rain cursing me even as I type this?

I think these keys make perfect Steampunk Necklaces, their often heavy black and Gothic Victorian in their appearance and carry a delicious sense of mystery!

Steampunk Bee by London Particulars

One of the things which I love the most about Steampunk Jewelry is sifting through old watch movements and imagining new ways to use the vintage clockwork pieces.

This Steampunk Jewelry Bee is one of my favorites, I love making bees. I like to imagine that the springs and cogs will suddenly begin to turn and the bees will rise from my studio and take to the air, beguiling people with their alien wonder and stinging anyone who deserves it (fiends, cads and rapscallions).

Each of my bees are unique, this one was made with Vintage Watch gears which I arranged across an enameled Victorian Bee stamping (which was created with Vintage Tooling), I then caught the bee and hung him upon a Antiqued Silver-finished cable chain.

The Aeronaut

This is one of my latest pieces of Steampunk Jewelry, comprising of a Vintage Watch Movement with a pair of Steamy Silver plated Brass Wings and a sixteen inch Antiqued cable chain in silver tones.

I named this piece The Aeronaut because I think it would be a perfect piece of intrepid explorers of the skyways and clouds. Indeed, it would almost be bad form to take to the skies without a suitable badge of office! Of course it may well attract the attention of sky pirates, but I would assume you will also be traveling with an armament or two…

Deep Crimson Steampunk Ring

I’m really pleased with how this Steampunk Ring turned out, it’s a study in scarlet (or perhaps crimson) and silver. The ring is made from a vintage Elgin oval seventeen ruby jeweled watch movement which I then set with nine deep Red Siam Swarovski Crystals.

One word of warning, if this Steampunk beauty is spotted upon your finger, it may attract the attention of a passing vampire, who may mistake the red crystals for drops or deepest red blood.

I recommend carrying a small bulb of garlic in your pocket, and if you can fit a stake into your other pocket then all will be well…

I just created a new Steampunk Cufflinks Video over on my YouTube channel, showcasing some of the new and old designs from London Particulars.

Cufflinks are definitely one of my biggest selling items and I tried to capture just some of the variation and uniqueness of the vintage pieces which I use for my Watch Movement Cufflinks.

Finding matching pairs, especially perfectly matched pieces is always a bit of a treasure hunt and I have to search through hundreds of vintage watch movements so I can pair the pieces. I love the challenge and when you do find the perfect pair it really pays off, although having mismatched pairs can work too, as long as there is symmetry in the designs.

Hope you enjoy the video!

The Navigator Steampunk Ring

I recently made a new piece of Steampunk Jewelry which I have given the lofty title of “The Navigator”.

This Ring would look perfectly in place upon the finger of an Air-Ship Captain, navigating the clouds on their airship, the ship lit up with the soft reddish pink hues of dusk as they pursue their quarry in a hunt across the clouds.

It doesn’t take much for the mind to wander…

The ring is made from an antiquated brass ring which is adjustable and holds an enameled bezel. I also used Vintage Watch Parts and arranged them in a collage set below a clear sealant which gives a perfectly glass-like finish.
I really hope you will like this new Steampunk Ring and will consider it an essential accompaniment in your adventures, be they earth or sky bound!

Beautifully Bejeweled Steampunk Ring

I’m working with a lot of color in my Steampunk Jewelry, maybe it’s the first hints of Spring and perhaps the last of Winters drear, a reappearance of crisp blue skies – or maybe I just like Swarovski crystals! I hope you do too!

This Steampunk Ring is designed from a Vintage Swiss Ruby Jeweled Watch Movement set with two soft, rose-pink Swarovski Crystals.

I love Vintage watch movements, each one is completely unique and quite often I leave them plain to show off the artistry of their makers, but sometimes the odd crystal here and there can enhance their unique beauty!

Kinetic-Steampunk-Ring

This is one of my latest Steampunk Jewelry Rings and I love this piece and wish I didn’t have to sell it!
The top of the ring actually spins and turns the tiny gold and silver gears at the top of the piece.
I describe it as Kinetic Steampunk!

The actual Watch Movement is formed from a Vintage Seventeen Ruby-Jewelled piece mounted upon an antiqued Brass Ring which is also adjustable and is fashioned from a vintage tooling.

If you’re interested in purchasing this Steampunk Ring then please note it’s appropriate for sizes six to eight and a half but I am always happy to make any adjustments required – just let me know!

Gleaming Elgin Steampunk Jewelry Cufflinks

I have no doubt that these Cufflinks will fairly gleam upon your cuffs!

I made these striking Steampunk Jewelry cufflinks from a pair of gorgeous, perfectly matched Vintage Elgin 15 Ruby-Jewelled Watch Movements which came in a lovely and unusual oval design. I then set them onto a pair of Silver-Chrome-Plated Cufflinks.

I just love the craftsmanship which Watchmakers used to employ in their work! I can’t see digital watches ever making such interesting and elegant jewelry.
