$40.00 - Item#SP117FUN

This piece is made with vintage brass tokens found in an Ohio barn, each says “For Amusement Only” and features some naturally-occurring spots of patina. Typewriter-style letter charms spell FUN. Also includes one bicycle charm (an 1880s high-wheel style bicycle), an old-fashioned metal roller skate with movable wheels, a carousel horse, and a heart. This necklace currently measures 19 inches long, with a toggle closure, but may be resized smaller upon request (use the comments box when ordering). Amusement tokens are 3/4-inch across, typewriter key charms 7/8-inch. Enlarged image, below, to show details. Only one available, handmade in my studio; the item you see here is exactly the item you will receive. Gift boxed.

While not strictly “steampunk,” this necklace does feature brass and Victoriana motifs which are part of the steam aesthetic. Not everything has to include gears, does it?

$20.00 - Item#SP107DFLY

Features art nouveau-style dragonfly pendant with faceted Czech glass beads. Necklace measures about 24 inches long, pendant is 2 inches high. Enlarged image, below, to show details. Only one available, handmade in the Monkeyshines studio. The item in the picture is the exact item you will receive. I have made similar items, before, because these are very popular; however, I have a limited number of supplies for this type of necklace, and each is made in different colors and styles. Giftboxed.

Note from Jen: I have long loved the art nouveau, Victorian/Edwardian brass-and-copper style, seen in movies like “Howl’s Moving Castle,” “Wild Wild West,” “Return to Oz,” and the Harry Potter films. Apparently, this style is called “steampunk” and I’ve been inspired to create jewelry along a similar aesthetic.
