Fandom Necklaces

[yourlibrarian]

Although a number of necklaces I make have themes, some are inspired by types of fandoms or specific ones.

Although I have made other steampunk pieces with more direct allusions to machinery, I wanted to go more elegant with this one. The Steampunk heart above was a wide pendant though, so I used wide beads in red for a chunky look. Then I added in various types of metal beads -- some small alternating color heart ones in the extension, and wide silver and brass ones to echo the pendant metals.



I liked the look of these pineapples and, when deciding on a pattern, was reminded of how they signified wealth back in the Victorian period. I remember a scene in Sanditon that revolved around the arrival of a pineapple for a dinner party.

The black and white pattern thus reminded me of floor patterns and the look of those houses.

Both of these look amazing, but I love the steampunk one best.

Thanks! I'm glad that's the case as I was trying not to repeat myself and am glad the end result worked.

Wow!

That pendant is so cool 😎

I have come across several steampunk pendants in the past, including another heart but it was smaller I believe.
