ABOUT US:
CATHERINE:

DANIEL:
I’m a full-time Steampunk jewelry designer and sculptor .I make all the Steampunk rings, earrings, bracelet, I also choose the design for the Steampunk necklace ,take pictures and list new items . I'm the designer behind the Steampunk line of jewelry.
All other tasks are shared between ourselves as a team.
We discovered this website in 2008 and we are happy to share our creativity with you!
Daniel Proulx was born in Montreal and spent a considerable time traveling the world before returning to his artistic roots, becoming an independent artist in 2008. He has found great inspiration in the steam era and now makes Steampunk jewelry with metal wire, gemstones, vintage clock parts and other unusual components. He loves creating organic shapes from wire and developing intricate designs with a mechanical/industrial feel. When Daniel was little he used to daydream about fantastic imaginary worlds. He would draw monsters, invent stories about magical items, or role-play with friends. Now he brings his art to life with stories from a distant parallel Steampunk universe. He uses his creations to share his passion for the world of Steampunk with the rest of us .
