The Ranis key

Another strange key, this one was found grasped in the paw of a koala bear. He was unwilling to give it up even for a large branch of eucalyptus, however it was eventually given into the safekeeping of a Moon Opal heiress from Adelaide.

It forms part of her not inconsiderable trousseau, her father is of course, well known inventor sir reginald dewsbury, creator of the everlasting ethernet.

We believe gentlemen have come from far and wide in order to duel for her hand in marriage. Let us hope the best man wins!

Cravat pin of Rassilon

A delightful gentlemans cravat pin in pure silver with stunning verdigris patina.

This piece was found adorning the neck wear of an Antipodean gentleman. He was most cagey about it's origins and we hear he eloped soon after with an heiress from Adelaide.

Their whereabouts is not currently known, but it is possible they are honeymooning on the aethership currently in orbit around Juno.

Whispered Romance

A gorgeous asymmetric necklace, created from a vintage watch and brass filigree. It also has a tiny precious crystal heart and real pearls.

There are two brass chains on one side and one on the other from which the piece is suspended. This is the same chain which can be found in many of the mechanisms of the punchcard princesses, and they buy it 'by the mile' from a chain mine nearby.

It comes in a presentation jewel case .

Please note these steampunk devices are one-of-a-kind art pieces and should be worn with respect. Some edges may be sharp and gems fragile.

Steampunk Tiara

This extraordinary tiara is created from brass wire and filligree, moon opals, iridescent crystal snowflakes and real gold pearls. Pieces of quartz tiny cogs and wheels and Swarovski crystals are also entwined.

It is is so tiny it can also be worn as a bracelet, measuring only two and a half inches in diameter.

The clockwork princesses all wear tiaras for their afternoon tea, and were most generous in loaning their visitors these beautiful objects.

Steampunk Tiaras are available to buy in The Shop

Princess Pendant

This Pendant is owned by the delightful Miss Cornelia Rothschild, the punchcard princesses herself, who made me so welcome at her beautiful Caledonian chateau on the isle of Teslace.

An ornate brass punchcard is decorated with real pearls, pink crystals, a glass heart, a tiny silver corset and a spare key with which she can be wound every 50 years or so...

The whole ensemble is completely rust proof, she assures me, and will last her many centuries.

Clockwork Heart Choker

A delightful pendant from pink, red, and turquoise mokume gane, shot through with silver leaf that sits atop a large brass tag. It hangs from a red satin ribbon and the ensemble is held together with a tiny brass cog and a garnet bead.

An absolutely beautiful example of the steampunk jewellery the mechanical maidens like to wear.

Brass Roses Earrings

These pretty earrings are made from a glass superconductor decorated with roses and finished with tiny brass hearts. Sadly the gear-filled princess to whom these belonged said they made her hair curl with static. Tests have shown they have no such side effects on human girls.

They come in a presentation jewel case .

Spare Heart Pin

This useful broach holds 5 assorted spare hearts, in case of breakage (by accident or romance).

They come to auction hardly used at all, as the previous owner claimed to be "very careful with her heart". She no longer needs these, having obtained her dream of becoming "a real girl", thanks to a wishing pocket.

Lockheart Earrings

These beautiful earrings have a gorgeous engraved bronze heart, accompanied by Swarovski crystals in ruby and fuchsia.
A tiny lock dangles below.

The young lady to whom these belonged said the hearts were of exceptional durability, as she already had several spare ones she was quite happy to pass these on to someone who might need them.

The Stone of Rassilon



This pendant has at its center an unusual purple stone with streaks of iridescence. This large and unusual Gem is curiously emblazoned with an ancient design in midnight ink. The design is reminiscent of a Celtic knot work hourglass. The stone is surrounded by delicate brass filigree and suspended from what seems to be a tiny star location instrument, creating overall a fascinating piece of steam punk jewelery.
It may perhaps be some sort of seal, those who have examined it carefully think the stone probably originated off earth, possibly falling to our own planet as a meteor? It now resides in a private collection.

TARDIS key

An extraordinary key-like device which was discovered sticking out of a police box in central London 1812.

It has tiny cogs and gears on one side, some embossed into and others raised from the surface. On the reverse it has a planetary conjunction, or perhaps a star chart? A leading expert, apparently a renowned Doctor, has confirmed it as a 'TARDIS key' but declined to explain or evaluated on the piece further.

It is constructed entirely in solid silver and measures only an inch and a half in length. An unusual addition to any steampunk jewellery collection.

Cavorite Tie Pin

A large piece of Cavorite is bound to the pin by means of brass filligree and chain, while a substantial vintage steampunk cog provides ballast.

This pin was found at some distance from the aether ship, and the moon dust had been disturbed, so it is possible it came loose during an affray. But with whom? Martians? We can only guess...

The Cavourite gives off an unearthly glow in darkness.
