Steampunk typewriter key jewelry -- Boing Boing Gadgets

By at 1:40 pm Tuesday, Jul 22

I've blogged before about the lovely steampunk jewelry on offer from Etsy seller FringeLore, but over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our John has spotted this wonderful new range of items made with vintage typewriter keys.

The soul recoils and throws up a bit as it thinks of some beautiful typewriter's tattooed ivory teeth being pried out with a flathead screw driver to make buttons, earrings and necklaces, but the results are undeniably striking.
