Steampunk-Inspired Collar Necklace

What could this be?

Oooooo, shiny!

This, my friends, is a close-up of a steampunk-inspired collar necklace...  A steampunk-inspired collar necklace that I just so happened to list on my store today.

Honestly, I am beyond pleased with this necklace.  It took quite a long time to make... wire-wrapping the gears, making sure the pattern would look right when worn.  

It was worth it, though--the results are stunning.

And so, let me introduce to you:

The Inventor's Workshop

Collar Necklace

 

Here are some shots of it, not on the model...

And, here's the story:

Among outsiders, the technology of the Landus Fantasticus is not considered highly advanced. There are no watches or typewriters—and certainly no laptops or cell phones or cars. 

This does not, however, mean that the Landus Fantasticus is devoid of technology. Quite the contrary, in fact. There simply have been several unique challenges that their society has had to face that other countries have not. While they may not have steam powered locomotives, for example, they do have an extremely sophisticated alarm system to alert citizens of impending dragon attack. 

This particular invention has saved many lives, and certainly encourages more people to seek solutions to their country’s unique problems. Indeed, it is this desire and need for progress makes the Landus Fantasticus riddled with innovators and inventors—people whose ingenuity cannot be bridled. 

With mismatched metals and a touch of elegance, this elaborate collar necklace looks like it could have belonged to one of these inventors—made out of bits and pieces lying around the workshop, meant to be touch of class while working on ever-growing inventions.

So, there you have it.  Thank you for letting me share this with you...  As I said, I'm very happy with how it turned out!
