I Turn Old Watch Parts Into Steampunk Jewelry

ADVERTISEMENT

I am Ernoldas, a Lithuanian-born, United Kingdom based artist “Nestre”. I am working a full-time boring job in a warehouse. So I’d say I’m a part-time artist because making jewelry is my hobby, which started couple years ago, when I decided to make jewelry to my girlfriend – now wife. I enjoy creating new items from old watch parts and bring them back to life as steampunk jewelry.

All jewelry is made by hand, using tiny, real wristwatch and pocket watch parts (gears, cogs, arrows, wheels, bridges, springs etc.). They are positioned in an antique brass, copper or bronze-colored base and sealed with a transparent resin which comes out as glass. The result seems almost eternal.

Not to be mean or anything, but your "antique" bases come from ebay, taobao, aliexpress or something. So if I'm correct, you buy cheap bases and you resin some clock parts in them? They look really cute but it's not as special as you make it sound, anyone can do this
