Time Capsule

As with the fashioning of my chimes and light fixtures, half the fun of creating a piece of jewelry is locating the many items of paraphernalia of which it is comprised.  A wrist watch interior is a pre-assembled visual microcosm of minuscule screws, gears and jewels and has been a favourite theme of mine. Accentuated with a tiny brass clock gear, this particular version is surrounded by a decorative ring of plated copper from which a modified wrist watch casing containing a miniature ivory flower, a brass butterfly and a silver heart is suspended - in turn, all hung from a chain of brass. $125CD
