Description
I present to you my first Mechanical Memory Pendant. This beautiful item is in the same style as my previous USB keys but also doubles as a unique steampunk necklace.The item has been made from the ground up taking 13 hours to complete. I have used the highest quality 8GB flash memory, housed in a hand carved zebrano chassis with 10 rubies. It features a blue activity LED that shows through the top of the key when working. So it can be worn as a necklace I added an aluminium tube to the key which I have threaded leather thonging through, this clips behind the neck with a matching magnetic clasp. The back of the key is a simple aluminium plate which would be suitable for engraving.
All the watch parts have come from damaged or irreparable pocket watches that have been hand disassembled and then combined to create a true, miniature work of art.
I plan to list this item in the next few weeks on my etsy shop.

I looked on your etsy page, and idk if everything you've made has already been sold, or maybe I'm not looking in the right spot, but I'd like to get one of these! I love your USB creations, and I would like to get one of those pendants like this one. Please let me know if you've got any left, or you're planning on making more!

I really dislike seeing steampunk all over the place on DA, but this piece is gorgeous... and incredibly unique. Love the idea!

Just curious, is that around the same price as normal flashdrives? Around fourteen dollars?

Mechanical? So is this a moving one, or are you just refering to the use of cogs?
Glad to see you'll be listing these in your shop, they are wonderful! I love how you've used the little clasp? on the side

It's a pendant that I would tottaly wear! It's so beautiful... Congrats for your work!
And the ideia of this "collection" is very interesting too. This mix of past and future... I don't know how to explain in English what I fell.
Well, congratulations again, beautiful work!

Amazing! I looked for one of these in your shop to favorite but it wasn't there. Do these run similar in price to the Pebbls?

Spectacular! Not only a lovely crafted piece of steam punk jewelry, but a cleverly hidden flash drive. Lovely, seriously, I adore that it's art with an implication <3

Hey there, Yes I do sell them through my etsy, but they tend to sell much faster than I can make them (usually in the first couple of hours!) If your interested I can add you to my mailing list so that I can notify you prior to the items being listed if you like? Just send me your mail in a private message... Thanks again!

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! It's an amazing piece of jewelery, but it's useful at the same time!
It may be small, but it can hold a lot inside! XD
And I am thoroughly amazed by the intricacy of the clockwork. There's actually layers, and it's not just flat. They fit together firmly like a real system instead of plain decorative steam punk jewelery.

Thanks Kuramay! I'm delighted that you like my latest work. I've worked hard over the last 18months to devise a technique that's believable, multi-layered & 'ascetically functional'. Your comment is very gratefully received! Thanks again!

So cool! I love steam punk style jewelry. I make jewelry too and found a bunch of old broken watches. This deviation has inspired me to make the most of them!
