Steampunk Glam: 19 Moons Necklace Giveaway
I love how the 19 Moons website writes of this necklace: “Fly through time with this original Steampunk necklace by 19 Moons!”
Cute. I want to, 19 Moons, I do!
This antique jewel watch is set in brass wings and hangs from a elegant vintage cable brass chain. 17 genuine rubies reveal the movements of its mechanical workings. Made from vintage materials, this eco-friendly piece can be your companion throughout time, and that’s something you might need when the world seems like it’s going to pieces around you.
Designer Niffer Desmond’s diverse background spans fifteen years in assemblage art, animation and jewelry design. Based in Pittsburgh, Desmond is inspired by Steampunk, Neo-Victorian and Industrial Design where “anachronistic technology and natural forms are juxtaposed to create creatures and emblems of fantastical realms. ”
“I find inspiration everywhere both in nature and the manmade,” Desmond says. “Organic forms like birds or rocks are on equal footing with perfect circles and squares of type-keys and clocks. Anything that visually sings! I also like the idea of giving old technology new life, appreciating it for its beauty as much as its former function.”
We like how you do all this, too, Niffer. Leave a comment below to be entered to win. For more details go here.

very unusual, yet beautiful piece of jewelry! Sure to be a conversation piece as well, I don’t own any steampunk jewelry but I’ve seen it on Etsy etc… and really love some of the jewelry and designs out there!

strikingly unique and peculiar, would be a fun piece to add to any collection. The details are intense and amazing when viewed closely, but on the image on the model it looks very cute! great piece.

I like the “time flies” idea, but I especially love the open gears and the quirky vintage-yet-edgy feel this has. Great!

Unique!

Very cool.

Love this piece! Makes me want to fly to the moon : )
April 18th, 2010 at 3:54 AM
That looks awesome. I really love the steampunk estetique aestethic, but it can be so difficult to find around here.
October 19th, 2010 at 12:34 PM
This thing is awesome! I’ve tried a few times to make my own steampunk jewelry, but it’s difficult to find the hardware for it. 19 Moons seems to be one of the few companies that actually sells some great steampunk stuff for a reasonable price.
