Top 25 Steampunk Jewelry Designs That Will Blow Your Mind - By Rebels Market Website

Steampunk the Victorian Science Fiction movement that's become a cultural phenomenon. What started as a fiction genre describing alternative history novels and science fiction set in retro-futuristic worlds where civilization had not progressed past the age of steam, is now a subculture unto it's own, with its own distinctive art, literature, movies, aesthetics, and fashion elements.

One of the best ways to give a retro-futuristic vibe to any steampunk clothing outfit is to adorn yourself with some steampunk jewelry. You can choose dainty, understated pieces, or bold cog and compass artful adornments that appear as remnants of forgotten inventions. Steampunk jewelry is an art in and of itself.

The light bulb was invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison, and scientists were conducting all sorts of experiments on electricity during the Victorian age … some more esoteric than others.
