Botanical Clockwork: a steampunk brooch
I can't tell you how long it took me to figure out the dangling centre. I tried about 8 different things before I went for something simple. There's a tiny garnet tip on a delicate silver beaded end... then a bit of gear. It swings too - which was a trick.
Two of the small dragonflies flank either side, effectively hiding the broach back. The "leaf" is a real find. A tiny sterling silver spider is about to climb it and head for those dragonflies! heh.
The flower part itself is an aged brass piece that I've had for about 10 years. I've uploaded the broach set that includes the earrings.
