Amazing Steampunk-inspired fine jewelers # Steampunk Hands Around the World 2017

1.- About Steampunk Hands Around the World

For fourth year in a row, Steampunk Hands around the World is taking place throughout the month of February.

As the promoter of this event, Kevin Steil, said, ‘the 2017 theme of the annual month long blogathon is “Making Life Better”. Each day from Wednesday, February 1st through Tuesday the 28th, contributors will share some of the many ways in which steampunk can and has made life better. Everyone, steampunks and non-steampunks alike, will be able to share in the information about who and what inspires us to keep exploring, expanding, and enhancing our community every day’.

2.- Our approach

Las year we explored how Steampunk influences other alternative lifestyles (we focused on the existing relationship between Steampunk and the fetish latex scene). This year we wanted to pay attention to one of the key facets of our lifes: our activity as jewelers. Not by accident steampunk inspired our Machinarium collection.

How has Steampunk made jewelry better? The truth is that there are many talented people that create costume jewelry with steampunk inspiration. And that’s lovely. However, there are less artisans that design and manufacture fine jewelry taking Steampunk as an influence. This is why we wanted to highlight their works.

We have gathered a group of outstanding international jewelers that have two things in common:

1. They use precious materials (noble metals, gemstones, etc.) and professional metalsmithing techniques.
2. They acknowledge Steampunk inspiration.

We do hope that you like our selection (and if you know of other fine jewelers that acknowledge Steampunk inspiration, let us know!). If you love steampunk, you will like it. If you love jewelry, you will be delighted. And if you love both steampunk and jewelry… well, you cannot miss this!
