The Etsy shop Londons Gate is jam packed with wonderfully steampunk designs. Their pieces range from steampunk to gothic to victorian to just plain dark.
Many of their pieces involve the use of watch movements being repurposed into the focal point of the entire piece of jewelry. They’ve got a fantastic selection of rings available on their site featuring many different kinds of watch movements. One thing that I really like about this site is that what is pictured is exactly what you receive. It’s not similar to or like what’s pictured, it really is the actual item. This means you know exactly what the piece you choose will look like!
They do custom pieces or you can choose from their ever expanding selection available in their store. I use the term “store” loosely as they claim this is not a business. Just two young people working together developing their craft!
The pieces are quite affordable as well. The ring pictured here is priced at $35. It’s a 17 jewel watch movement attached to a filigree adjustable band. That’s a steal of a deal for the huge statement that such a piece would make! The ring prices vary in range but all are extremely budget friendly.
They’ve also got a variety of necklaces, cufflinks and even earrings for sale that utilize various watch movements. My favorite necklace is the one pictured here with the black flower. What a stunning accent piece that would look good in everything from casual wear to the office to a beautiful necklace to go with that little black dress. It uses a vintage watch movement mounted to a vintage silver setting. The black rose is what really set it off though.
This is definitely an Etsy shop worth checking back into again and again. It sounds as though items are added almost daily. They currently have 273 items for sale and I love almost each and every one. Some of my favorites are the Lolita gothic hair clips that they have available in vintage silver settings. Absolutely adorable!! I love the flower designs and the skull designs. You can even have them made in a different color to match a certain outfit!!
