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 Cufflinks for the next (or previous) Generation!

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!

A Pair of Particulary Polished Elgin Steampunk Cufflinks!

Steampunk Elgin Cufflinks

With Valentine’s Day coming, my focus for my Steampunk Jewelry is turning to cuff-links. Last year I found that cufflinks were a particularly hot item, the perfect gift to give your partner so that they may look truly steamy on the fourteenth of Feb!

This pair of perfectly paired Vintage Elgin Seventeen-Ruby Jeweled Watch Movements are set in a most unusual Oval Design with a pair of Silver Chrome-Plated Cuff links.

These cufflinks are completely individual; each watch movement carries a serial number insuring that they’re truly unique jewelry.

I’m adding more and more items through January, so please feel free to have a good rummage through my Steampunk Jewelry shop over on Etsy!

Gleaming Elgin Steampunk Jewelry Cufflinks!

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.

Steampunk Jewelry Necklace and a Mayfair Demon Harpy!

admin — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:38:58 +0000

Sometimes, simplicity can work better than any amount of embellishments!
I was thinking of adding some crystals or a Stamping to this Steampunk Jewelry Necklace but I love the Watch Movement on its own!
So I simply added Silver Finished Cable Chain and then created a very brief fictional history to accompany the Pendant and should you wish to hear about Lady Cruzzletwist “The Demon Bore of Mayfair” head over to London Particulars for more…

The Beauty of Steampunk Jewelry and the Beast

admin — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:37:59 +0000

Here is a new Steampunk Jewelry creation… I hope it won’t affect your delicate sensibilities…

Do not be alarmed! The tentacled behemoth on this Steampunk Necklace has been neutralised by a Witch and will never quake or slither again. Wear this necklace in complete safety – a ward against those that must not be named beneath the waves, the old ones…

Steampunk Cufflinks traded for an old Puddle

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 21:43:59 +0000

If you would like to know how a Puddle was traded for Watch Movements to create this Steampunk Jewelry then see the story below…

These wonderful Steampunk Cufflinks have a stranger history than most!
The watch parts themselves were made by a very odd gentleman.
He turned up at my shoppe one miserable grey, sopping wet October afternoon and presented me with his jewelry, cogs and watch movements – I’d never seen such splendour before!
“How much for these fine pieces?” I asked and the strange man said nothing. Instead he pointed at a puddle in the yard outside my window.
“You want a puddle?” I asked. He nodded and thanking my good fortune, I at once accepted his peculiar request.
Off he went, and picked up the puddle from the yard as if it were nothing more than a plate and sloped off and was soon lost in the rain.
Its only now, that I wonder what the value of the puddle could be, and the strange, deep black space left behind in my yard causes me the most sleepless of nights.
So buy these exquisite cufflinks now while you can, for I wonder if the hole where the puddle lay might not grow and take myself and my Shoppe away with it.

Steampunk Jewelry at London Particulars has just passed over 200 Sales!

admin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:56:59 +0000

I was so happy to reach my 200th Sale this weekend! Thank you to everyone who has supported London Particulars!

I truly expected sales to slow as it seemed that Steampunk Jewelry and the whole Neo-Victorian genre hit a passing fad with the mainstream, but it seems more popular than ever, which is just so exciting!

For me, Steampunk is such a fascinating artform that it would be a real shame if people lost interest but the great news is that it seems to be soaring to greater heights!

So here’s to another year of innovation, style and Neo-Victorian quirkiness and of course, Steampunk Jewelry!

Steampunk Rings and Steampunk Jewelry musings from London Particulars

I’m always trying to find new ways to make Steampunk Jewelry. I know there are so many people selling Neo Victorian Jewelry now – everyday there seems to be dozens of new Steampunk Jewelry shops on Etsy!

So to try and stand out, I like to play with new designs.
I made this Steampunk Ring in an attempt to blend Gothic with Steampunk Jewelry and I think it works!

With this Steampunk Ring, I offer the simple and stark warning that anyone, anyone – who doesn’t consider buying this lovely piece of Steampunk Jewelry, should consider that they leave their fingers bear, which simply will not do!

Bear in mind our Victorian Ancestors wouldn’t even let a table leg remain uncovered! So I made this Steampunk Ring in an effort to cover your naked fingers…

Steampunk Cufflinks

admin — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:00:59 +0000

When it comes to Steampunk Jewelry, one of my favourite items to make are Steampunk Cufflinks.
They seem to have such a crossover appeal, from “Steamy People” to Goths and even (self-confessed!) Geeks! I love the idea of an office meeting with my Watch Movement Cufflinks glinting of the sleeves of CEO’s! Perhaps that’s just a dream but you never know!
