The Difference Engine Steampunk Bracelet

Description

The Difference Engine is technically a charm bracelet, but really, it's so much more. It's a wearable assemblage. It represents the industrial age and turn-of-the-century hopes for the future.

In this bracelet, cool gunmetal is paired with warm copper, and balanced with hematite, which is both stone and metal....warm and cool. The oily darkness of the gunmetal and hematite is highlighted with silver tone charms, watch gears, and bells. I've included The Statue of Liberty and face charm to add a spark of humanity to this piece. Industry creates civilizations, but humanity is what creates industry.

Total length of The Difference Engine is 19.70 cm or 7.75". If you require the length to be lengthened or shortened, I can easily do this. The chain is sturdy and thick; it features a large and very secure lobster claw clasp.

Inspiration behind this Product:

"These black behemoths, mecha-monster robots seized motionless in rust, occult a city at dusk with their mass, their height."
