Creating a Steampunk Brooch and keyring

As promised in my last post What is steampunk?  I have created two pieces of jewellery in the steampunk style.
The first is a brooch, which at first started out as a pendant but during making it i decided it might just be better off as a brooch!
I used a Abalone pendant, a tiny butterfly charm, a old watch face, a cog charm, a bolt and 2 clear cabochons that reminded me of a mystics glass ball.

This a fairly simple design.
It basically just involves arranging the pieces in a arrangement you like then gluing it all in place.

All there you have it the basics of a brooch, next is just to attach the brooch back and its finished.

The second design is the key keyring, this one is a little more difficult. To make this i used a old watch keyring which i dismantled, a key charm, beads, jump rings and keyring.

First i dismantled the watch in the key, (the clock face is the one used in the brooch) the space where the battery sat i filled with diamante. I also used diamante to cover the information and add a bit of detail. The glue i used is G-S Hypo Cement which has a precision applicator, which just makes things easier

The next step was to make the chain it all hangs from. This is made of jump rings which i strung together and added the charm and beads to. For the pearl, here's a quick run down in pictures of how to make it.

 Lastly the keyring was attached to the top jump ring.

This was a bit of a rush through of how i made the two items, please ask any questions.
