Steampunk Style Jewelry

It has finally arrived! Learn how to make Victorian, Fantasy, and Mechanical necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in Jean Campbell’s mixed-media Steampunk Style Jewelry. As Jean explains it; Steampunk jewelry pairs mechanical found objects with Old World Victorian – style filigree, charms, chain, gems, and beads to create one-of-a-kind pieces that marry romance, technology, and attitude. The twenty projects in this book, original works by thirteen designers, conjure up images of time and space travel, the teatime intrigues of Jane Austen, the inventiveness of H.G. Wells, and the edgy energies of Mad Max.

The featured necklaces, rings, and bracelets require only basic jewelry-making techniques – stringing, wirework, hammering, stamping, and beadwork. Brass and copper are metals of choice, embellished with lacy filigree textures, glittering beads, and clever closures and connections. Throughout the book, you’ll find profiles of the artists, historical roots, fashion trends, and ideas that define Steampunk. We are pleased to say that Vintaj filigree & findings are showcased in projects designed by Melanie Brooks, Andrew Thornton, and Jamie Hogsett!

Stay tuned for Rose to post images of their designs in an upcoming publication feature.
