Guitar String Steampunk Jewelry Antique Typewriter Key by Tanith

Shared by Tanith in the Jewellery


Product Description:

This steampunk choker is made from an antique key that I salvaged from a 1917 Royal No. 5 typewriter, and a vintage brass clock gear. The pendant is strung on a brass guitar string. The gear and typewriter key pendant measures about 3/4" in diameter. The choker measures about 16" long, and has a gold plated hook and eye style clasp.

All of my guitar and bass string jewelry is made from previously played strings. Some strings may have some discoloration, but I feel this adds to the character of the pieces. Since most guitar strings are made up of more than one metal, for example steel and nickel, they are not able to be recycled. Unless the strings are given a new use they will just end up in the trash, which makes my guitar string jewelry eco-friendly as well as being beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry.
