What is steampunk jewelry?

Steampunk is a new round of retro fashion trend, with old craftsmanship and yellowed metal texture, these steampunk jewelry will always take you back to the steam era and feel the romance and luxury of that era. Nowadays, many steampunk rings, necklaces, earrings, clothing, etc. have formed steampunk fashion, which is loved by young people.

What is Steampunk Jewelry

Steampunk is a synthetic word made up of the words steam and punk. Steampunk is an artistic aesthetic set in the steam era of the 19th century. In the 20th century, a group of artists used a lot of core elements such as steel, machinery and steam engines in an overhead worldview, combined with the aesthetic characteristics of Victorian England and the Taisho era in Japan, and added wild magic and imagination to form the steampunk style we see today.

And steampunk jewelry draws on the unique mechanical beauty of the steam age and the aesthetic principles of the Victorian period, and tries to combine the two. However, steampunk style jewelry does not have a fixed form. Everyone's different understanding of the steampunk style creates the diversity of details. Next, I will share a few Gthic steampunk jewelry with you.

Gear Jewelry

Steampunk's unique mechanical aesthetic is also an important part of what makes it unique. Gears have always been one of the most important elements of steampunk. In mechanical equipment, it is the element that transmits motion and power, and is one of the most commonly used and important parts on the machine. Because of its functionality, the gears symbolize every ordinary but vital person in jewelry design.

These earrings are shaped like gears to create a classic steampunk look, and besides that, they are made of 925 silver, which is hypoallergenic. Such earrings will look cool and punk when you match your outfit casually.

Also using gears to showcase the sophistication of steampunk is this ring in pewter. The ring in pure pewter shows off the details of the gears better. It is a simple gear system where gears of varying sizes mesh with each other; imagine that once one gear moves, the other gears will turn as well. This gear system adds a sense of motion to this ring. A gear ring can elevate your taste to a rugged yet subtle level.

Retro Machinery

Steampunk actually encompasses two aspects, one is mechanical texture and the other is ecological mimicry. Most steampunk jewelry embodies classicism and mechanical aesthetics.

But where machinery is concerned, there must be no shortage of such elements as metal. Those who have a hobby of collecting should not miss this engine ring. Five different engine rings are available for you to choose from, and they incorporate various elements such as skulls and locomotives to form a mechanically magical steampunk style. Steampunk is an all-encompassing style that can give people a lot of room for creativity.

The first industrial revolution brought the steam engines and also promoted the development of navigation. Therefore, steampunk and navigation are also very appropriate. There is no fixed form of steampunk jewelry, designers will create some steampunk animal jewelry based on some steampunk works. This octopus ring is very magical. The twisted octopus legs and the suction cup of the delicate image are displayed in stainless steel, which has a metallic texture and a retro style. The skull design adds a touch of magic, making the ring unique and eye-catching.

Victorian Retro Jewelry

The popularity of steampunk jewelry is inseparable from the retro Victorian aesthetic. At that time, men wore orthodox suits or tuxedos with decorative objects such as ties, walking sticks, pocket watches, and top hats.

This pendant shows the steampunk style of men at that time. This is a skull pendant with a comical twist. The gear-shaped eye socket holds a small skull. With a retro moustache and a top hat, he looks like a gentleman and a happy tramp (similar to Chaplin's pantomime).

Each keel of this bracelet is movable, and the hard metal is used to show the flexible twist of the dragon. The details of this bracelet are worn to show its vintage. Mechanically imitating the form of a dragon, creating a sinister and rugged look. This is a comfortable and masculine bracelet, I hope you like it.

Summarize

Pastiche is one of the distinctive features of the postmodernist aesthetic, as is the case with steampunk. In fact steampunk absorbs more material than any other avenue, with elements of the future and the past, reality and imagination, magic and science confused with each other and appearing in a mishmash, like a house built from several completely different piles of building blocks. Simply put, the steampunk worldview is one in which backwardness and advancement coexist, magic and science coexist, and a utopian ideal is spiritually pursued. This is the positive and most appealing feature.
