Steam Punk Style

I have a fascination with the Steam Punk style. I enjoy creating jewelry and items with this theme.
Steam Punk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history and speculative fiction. It came into prominence during the 1980's and early 1990's.
 
 Steam Punk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used - usually Victorian era Britain or Wild West era - United States and incorporates elements of both science fiction and fantasy.
Works of Steam Punk often feature futuristic innovations that Victorians might have envisioned based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style and art.
This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and Mary Shelley.

Steam Punk style is a fun creative way to re-purposed broken and vintage jewelry in to new industrial treasures.
