A miniature glass bottle filled assorted tiny gemstones and vintage watch parts including gears, watch hands, wheels, and a brass key. I added a gold dragonfly charm to the watch gear bail. This comes with a 24 inch gold plated chain.  Includes amethyst, aventurine, rose quartz, tiger eye, turquoise, fluorite, jasper, moss agate, and other gemstones. A sweet little Steampunk design.

Combining mechanical items like vintage watch parts with items like crystals is something that I think makes each item stand out, and yet be a part of the whole Steampunk creation. I like the idea of being able to recycle vintage items and turn them into something new and different. It is recycling in its finest form.

Dragonfly symbolism is used in many cultures. Common symbolic meanings include renewal and a positive life force. Dragonflies can represent a sense of self that comes with age and maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly often represents change and rebirth. Because a dragonfly lives such a short life, it must live its life to the fullest, which is a lesson we each need to learn.

Dragonflies are often seen as symbols of courage, strength, joy and light. Some Native traditions believe them to be the souls of those who have crossed over. Faeries are said to ride upon their backs.
