Clockwork Hearts

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful punchcard princess. This petite girl had been created out of clockwork and doll parts by a wise and clever toy maker. She lived in a castle far away and no one ever came to visit.

The clever toy maker had made her all manner of beautiful things, to replace her worn cogs and springs. He always intended to make her some friends when he returned from his long journey. Many centuries went by and the little princess continued to tend her roses and dance in the empty ballroom, till one day a knock on the castle door brought a whole bevy of clockwork girls, all created by the wise toymaker (who for all we know, still roams the world making marvelous mechanical maidens).

This collection of steampunk jewelery Is unashamedly feminine and romantic. The pieces were all personally donated by these wonderful clockwork creations, who wish to remain secluded in their far off chateau till the toymaker returns, eating English toffee and drinking mineral oil...

Whispered Romance

A gorgeous asymmetric necklace, created from a vintage watch and brass filigree. It also has a tiny precious crystal heart and real pearls.

There are two brass chains on one side and one on the other from which the piece is suspended. This is the same chain which can be found in many of the mechanisms of the punchcard princesses, and they buy it 'by the mile' from a chain mine nearby.

It comes in a presentation jewel case .

Please note these steampunk devices are one-of-a-kind art pieces and should be worn with respect. Some edges may be sharp and gems fragile.

Sorry thse are now sold out but more luscious pieces are available HERE

Princess Pendant

This Pendant is owned by the delightful Miss Cornelia Rothschild, the punchcard princesses herself, who made me so welcome at her beautiful Caledonian chateau on the isle of Teslace.

An ornate brass punchcard is decorated with real pearls, pink crystals, a glass heart, a tiny silver corset and a spare key with which she can be wound every 50 years or so...

The whole ensemble is completely rust proof, she assures me, and will last her many centuries.

Clockwork Heart Choker

A delightful pendant from pink, red, and turquoise mokume gane, shot through with silver leaf that sits atop a large brass tag. It hangs from a red satin ribbon and the ensemble is held together with a tiny brass cog and a garnet bead.

An absolutely beautiful example of the steampunk jewellery the mechanical maidens like to wear.

Brass Roses Earrings

These pretty earrings are made from a glass superconductor decorated with roses and finished with tiny brass hearts. Sadly the gear-filled princess to whom these belonged said they made her hair curl with static. Tests have shown they have no such side effects on human girls.

Spare Heart Pin

This useful broach holds 5 assorted spare hearts, in case of breakage (by accident or romance).

They come to auction hardly used at all, as the previous owner claimed to be "very careful with her heart". She no longer needs these, having obtained her dream of becoming "a real girl", thanks to a wishing pocket.

Punchcard Princess Chatelaine

This wonderful collection of essential maintenance pieces includes cogs, a garnet crystal, several spare hearts and a tiny crown, as well as a miniature brass punchcard with verdigris embellishment.

A beautiful present for any punchcard princess. It can be attached to a telephonic device or worn as a tassel from bag or chain.

Lockheart Earrings

These beautiful earrings have a gorgeous engraved bronze heart, accompanied by Swarovski crystals in ruby and fuchsia.
A tiny lock dangles below.

The young lady to whom these belonged said the hearts were of exceptional durability, as she already had several spare ones she was quite happy to pass these on to someone who might need them.
