This item sold on eBay for $60.99.

This is a one-of-a-kind steampunk clockwork key necklace, assembled with new and vintage materials. I designed and created this piece using pocket watch and wrist watch parts, faceted Czech glass beads, brass chain, copper filigree, and found items, including an antique skeleton key. I’m not sure how old the key is. The key is marked “corbin,” and might be 50-100 years old, or older. The necklace is adjustable between 16 and 18 inches long, and the centerpiece measures 1-1/2 inches high by 2-1/2 across. Enlarged photo shows details.

Tribal Celtic Shamrock & Claddagh original design by me! Click on the image above to go to Cafe Press for shirts, buttons, mugs and more.

A combination of red & black stones, hematite, Czech glass, hardware, vintage jewelry parts, chain, and European silver-plated wire. Slightly adjustable around 7-1/2 inches long. A one-of-a-kind unique creation, handmade in the Monkeyshines studio.

I’m not entirely sure if the term “spacepunk” applies, but I’m going to go with it, because it’s inspired by two of my loves — STEAMPUNK and FIREFLY (a sci-fi cult-classic western set, mostly, in space). When I create these pieces, I like to think that they’re somewhat like something Kaylee would make during a long space journey, using parts laying around the floor of Serenity’s engine room!

The necklace is 18 inches long, and the heart in the center measures 1-3/8 inches high by 1-3/8 across (at its widest point). Enlarged photo below shows details.

About Monkeyshines

About the artist: I have long loved Leonardo Da Vinci, Jules Verne, Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, the Victorian period, la Belle Epoque, Edwardian era, art nouveau, and movies like ‘Howl’s Moving Castle,’ ‘Wild Wild West,’ ‘Return to Oz,’ ‘Stardust,’ the Harry Potter films, ‘Time Machine,’ ‘Somewhere in Time,’ and ‘Time After Time.’ For a decade, I’ve been making jewelry inspired by art nouveau and earlier eras, and designing jewelry using vintage or found materials. But I didn’t officially start making “Steampunk” jewelry until last year, when a friend of mine told me that there was a name for this sort of thing!

It took months of searching to find a pendant to match the necklace worn by the sultry villainess “Saffron” from the cult TV show FIREFLY, during the opening scene of the episode “Trash” while she is brawling with Mal (she wears a different necklace later during the Lassiter heist). See pictures from the episode here. But the company which sold these pendants has discontinued them. And the larger brown beads are vintage acrylic that I purchased from an elderly woman who had been collecting beads all her life. I bought as many as I could of the beads and pendants, and I’ve sold several of these necklaces. But now they are SOLD OUT. I won’t be able to make any more until I’m able to find similar materials, again.

$20.00 - Item#F068KISS    ON SALE NOW $15.00

Necklace features brass pendant with picture of kissing fairies. This altered art item is made with a small image I cut out from scrap papers, affixed into the brass frame, and covered with a sealant. Necklace chain features small faceted Czech glass beads in yellow and green. This necklace is a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) altered art item, only one available, designed and handmade in my private studio. The picture shows exactly the item you will receive. Chain measures 18 inches long, pendant is 1 inch high, not including loop at the top. Gift boxed.

Note: I do recommend keeping this necklace away from chemicals such as cleaning products, hairspray, jewelry polishers, etc, and do not submerge it in water. I’m not sure what effect these things would have on the brass or the sealant in the pendant.

$10.00 - Item #E068BC

Brass pistol and Chinese coin charms capture the spirit of FIREFLY fans everywhere! When I got my copy of the Firefly: The Official Companion: Volume Two, I saw that the back cover features a pistol and coins just like these, but I was already making these earrings before the book came out! Earrings measure 1-1/4 inches long, not including brass leverback earwires. Image slightly enlarged to show detail. These also feature faceted brown Czech glass accents. Each is handmade in my private studio. These are slightly different from the previous Browncoat earrings I was making — the coins are lightweight replicas perfect for earrings (not too heavy), less expensive, and easier to use, which has allowed me to lower the price quite a bit. Most of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind, but this is one of the few items where I do make several of the same design. Giftboxed.

Please note that this item is made-when-ordered, and depending on my schedule might not be shipped for 4-6 weeks. Making jewelry is only a hobby of mine, not a full-time job, and I typically only get to spend a few hours a week in my studio. - Jen
