I have to show you my new vintage steampunk necklace design. The necklace is made with vintage findings, watch parts and swarovski crystals. The metal is a antiqued copper making this a wonderful vintage steampunk look. Following are closeup views of this Necklace.

	Since I have a love for machinery, with all the gears and things, steampunk is a style that I love also.
The centerpiece is made with vintage copper findings, Swarovski crystals, and vintage wrist watch parts.
	I built the chain of the necklace with links of Swarovski Crystals, watch gears, and vintage stampings.
I like to sign my one-of-a-kind pieces. This is the back of the centerpiece.
	I finished the necklace with an antiqued copper toggle clasp.
