Mother And Daughter Turn Used Antique Pocketwatch Parts Into One-Of-A-Kind Jewelry

ADVERTISEMENT

Mother Elainer and Daughter Alice from Hampshire, UK teamed up to take Steampunk to the next level with their imaginative creations and painstaking attention to details.

Back in 2011 the duo found a bag of old 1930’s-1960’s watch parts in their garage, given to Elaine back in the 1980’s when she used to run a craft shop.
They thought the parts were too unusual and beautiful to be hidden in the garage and started creating jewelry from them.

Wow - just magical, especially the animal ones. The owl, bee, rat & fox. I prefer the ones without diamante.

Are these working watches that have value? or broken watches with no value. Would be a shame to destroy valuable watch.

Hi MarkConnelly, they are broken watch pieces beyond repair. We would obviously never use pieces which have any value or work.

They have completely and utterly destroyed, very, very valuable antique watch movements. People have paid thousands for those. Good job.
