Dereck Maltez Rocks Steampunk Jewelry Designs!
Red, Taxidemist's Reptilian Eye Ring w/ Copper Wiring and Gear
Steampunk Reptilian Eye Ring Screams Futuristic!
Mr. Maltez's Description of These Rings:
"...ring is hand made with insulated copper wire and electric copper wire, this is a craft, with a rifle Bullet Casings and mounted, glass taxidermy eye and gear from watch and bead.
The Dame's Point:
Visiting Mr. Maltez's "Wire Jewelry and Steampunk Jewelry by Dereck Maltez" on Etsy is an incredible experience! I ran across the shop by a crazy happenstance this past weekend. The jewelry designs jumped out at me because of his use of taxidermy, of all things! What a genius idea for the perfect concoction of steampunk and sy-fy accouterments.
What I also love about Dereck's designs is that it reflects steampunk's vital genre grounding: female and male equality. Both men and women will look kranked in his jewelry. The assortment of styles and pieces Dereck has mixes things madly. And, his prices are too reasonable, with the rings shown above going for under $60.00. That's just a steal.
I Love The Heavily Geared and Sproketed Look of This One with the Jewel!
A Frightening Masterpiece of a Mechanical Spider--Pendant or Pin
$250.00
The Spider's inspiration was the mechanical one in "Wild, Wild West" movie!

In Conclusion :
I'm hoping to get an interview with Dereck in the near future with a forecast of his new designs for the Winter and Spring. Can you see the influence of Florida beaches and sunshine?

The red reptilian eye ring reminds me of Sauron's eye from the Lord of the Rings. You have a cool jewelry collection here, thanks for sharing!
