Description
I was inspired by 2 things, the decay of time, and a quote (from Star Trek) as to where time is a predator - I wanted to convey those concepts. Constructed out of 18 gage copper and brass sheet metal all pierced, cut, textured, riveted, and patinated by moi - each gear is unique and lovingly crafted and filed to its final organic shape. It is a beautiful necklace with a nice short chain to sit high on your chest to make a statement - very steampunk chic.=^.^=

I am amazed by the work!
....I'd like to say it gives me the impression of a map of a continent, that's slowly fading away with time.

For me it is hard to fine Steampunk jewelry that puts a new spin on an old look. I think this is great the idea and I particularly appreciate the patina work. I love a great patina and enjoy fiddling with chemicals and application techniques on my lamps. This is a great piece of jewelry. Bravo!

Fantastic mate! If that's what you made in intro to metals class, I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Beautiful.

This is a true work of art. <3
If you don't mind my asking, do you solder the pieces together or glue them and do you put resin on them?
I'm think of getting into this sort of thing.

time is a predator, stalking us all our lives... I prefer to think of time as a companion.
excellent depiction of your ideas. turning a concept of entropic time to something beautiful and tragic all at once. Not easy to do in a jewelry medium

Interesting surface details you've managed to get. Did you use a hammer for the initial textures?

In a word; Beautiful. It makes me wonder. Feel like we forgot something long ago. Or buried it deep to hide it away.
