Tiny Steampunk Telescope - working brass telescope necklace by ClockworkZero

Description

Perfect for a steampunk pirate, stargazer or spy, this tiny little working telescope makes a fantastic necklace. It's quite beautiful - and it works too! The telescope is a bright shining brass, and you carefully pull it out to extend the sections. Because it is a real telescope - though tiny - it is a bit stiff opening. I suspect as you collape and extend it though it will get easier to move. I actually prefer it closed when it's a necklace as shown in the photo taken on the leaves.

Fully extended its 8cm long (just over 3 inches) and closed up its just 4cm (just a bit over 2 inches!). Ever so cool :D

I've taken a "ship wheel" to go with this piece. Its a good compliment and the round shape reminds me of all the telescopes I had as a child with the big round adjustment knobs. It does look extra gear-like though! A great little steampunk pendent.

PLEASE let me know if there is some other kind of charm you might prefer! I have a variety and I'm always willing to create something custom if I have it. Some examples might be hearts, keys, etc.

The chain on this is an antiqued brass - which is a good compliment to the brass telescope. The chain is about 20 inches long - so it hangs down lower then many of my necklaces because it is larger and heavy. If you want it shorter let me know. It can hang even lower though since there's a bit of an extension chain.

The brass shows a few light scratches on the surface but its in great shape. Although its toy sized it works, and would be a great gift, and the few people who have seen it have been amazed. Of course the magnification won't allow you to see incredible distances but it does work and you'll love it!
