Statement ring!! This unique handmade steampunk ring with vintage mechanical watch movement with exposed real ruby jewel bearings and gears is set on a nickel free brass adjustable ring. This luscious watch movement has 17 ruby jewel bearings. This is a wonderfully sturdy adjustable ring that fits both men and women just below a size 6 to above an 11. The ends are rounded, so this is a comfortable adjustable ring. See photos for details. This watch movement measures approximately 1" tall by just under .75" inches wide. I search antique fairs, junk shops, and work with a local watch maker who is happy to see his watches reused and repurposed into a new life :) I choose the highest quality movements with stunning detail and contrasting metal elements. ABOUT THE DESIGN: The Victorian era was a bridge between old traditions and new technologies. At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert received the first mechanical keyless wind watches, making pocket watches and watch fobs popular for both men and women until the mid 20th century. While pocket watches had been worn for more than a century, wrist watches were introduced around 1900, called "wristlets" were introduced, in part because of the development of a more affordable jewel bearings production process, which made smaller, more accurate watches possible. Assumed to be a passing fad, wrist watches caught on and were most popular in the 1920s and 1930s, which is why most of the watches I work with are Art Deco from this period. An emblem of a past era of craftsmanship, these mechanical watches have real or synthetic jewel bearings, originally made with ruby, garnet, diamond, and sapphire. Many watches have the name of the watch maker, intricate tooling or design work, seen only when the watch was repaired, cleaned, and maintained. Celebrate analog! All items come in a gift box.
