Handmade steampunk earrings featuring a pair of vintage mechanical watch movements with exposed gears and jeweled bearings mounted on beautiful antiqued silver metal Victorian lace filigree revival setting with a Swarovski crystal accent. MEASUREMENTS & MATERIALS: * Solid Sterling Silver lever back hooks * Total earring length 2.25" (6cm) * The backs are filled with a translucent layer so the inner workings of the mechanism are visible. * All items come in a gift box HISTORY: While pocket watches had been worn for more than a century, women's wrist watches were introduced around 1900, called "wristlets" were introduced, in part becuause 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 An emblem of a past era of craftsmanship, these mechanical watches have real or synthetic jewel bearings, originally made with ruby, garnet, diamond, and sapphire.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. Compass Rose Design revives historic heirlooms into wearable art. Everything in our shop is handmade in our studio just north of San Francisco, California.
