The steampunk brooch is an ornamental pin in the shape of six interlocking gears, finished in a brown, bronzed, weathered shade. What immediately catches the eye are the two small stones in the center of two gears, which add a rainbow shimmer to the dark, metallic-looking design. It can be worn by women or men at a themed party or costume evening with a retro-futuristic touch.
What exactly does this gear brooch look like?
- The brooch consists of six gears of different sizes that partially overlap, from two large gears on the right to a small gear at the bottom.
- Most gears have four spokes and a central hub, while the gear at the bottom left has a rim with square cutouts.
- Two gears feature a sparkling stone with a rainbow shimmer in the center.
- The color is brown with a bronzed, slightly weathered finish, giving the gears a used appearance.
- The back has a pin clasp for attaching the brooch to your clothing.
- The brooch comes on a Funny Fashion card and is intended for women and men.
Gears on a brooch and the steam-powered era
Gears are the hallmark of the retro-futuristic style, which imagines the nineteenth century as if steam power had never been overtaken by electricity. In this imagined world, fashion and machinery blend together, and inventors, airship captains, and explorers wear their technology right on their clothing. Copper and bronze tones are part of this look, as they evoke old boilers, pipes, and clocks.
How to build a complete outfit around the brooch
Pin the steampunk brooch to the lapel of a dark waistcoat or long jacket, and add a top hat and goggles for the classic inventor look. As a woman, wear it on a corset or a high-collared blouse, perhaps with a lace glove and a pocket watch on a chain. Because the six gears together form one large piece of jewelry, choose it if you want a single striking focal point instead of several small pins scattered across your costume. Keep the rest of your accessories in brown and copper tones to tie everything together.
