Hello
I've always been fascinated by antique beauties, and when I was a teenager, I came across a box full of treasures at a Saturday morning market: there lied a watchmaker's legacy of gears, dials and springs. A few days later, after a few experimentations and compositions, I made my first piece of steampunk jewellery, and my love for it has been a part of my everyday life ever since. I am currently working as a teacher of media and art in a local high school, but at the same time, wandering across the rows of antique markets, I am already thinking about pairing the raw materials into new pieces and then assembling them into jewellery later in the afternoon.
From these adventures of the gears, shiny beads, antique brooches and antique dials, I would like to share with you the magic of jewellery making.
The steampunk, dear!
Steam clouds, porcelain pocketwatch dials, bulbs, sophisticatedly cool and decadent. The subculture of steampunk is much more than just a plethora of antiques: it's a particular sense of life, with the aesthetic softness of the Victorian era and the ticking parts of shiny mechanical machines. Its charm comes from its anachronism, looking back to the everyday life of the Victorian era to extract the details and create a timeless vision.
