Steampunk earrings with wings are dangling jewelry featuring a silver-colored metal wing hidden beneath gold-colored gears and decorative scrolls. They are designed for women who want to complete a steampunk outfit for a themed party or costume evening with a mechanical detail at the ear. The two-tone metal stands out against loose hair and remains visible even under a top hat.
How the wing pendants are constructed
- At the top is a large, openwork gear in a gold-colored, slightly distressed shade, with a smaller gear underneath.
- Gold-colored scrolls and small beads run around the gears, giving the design an elegant, Victorian shape.
- Below this is a silver-colored wing with engraved feather lines, ending in a narrow, slightly curved point.
- The material is 100% zinc.
- You receive a pair of earrings in a women's style, with the wings mirrored so they look the same on both sides.
What makes a wing with gears different from a regular angel wing?
The gears make the difference: without that machinery, a wing looks like an angel or fairy wing, but with gears on top, it becomes a steam-era flying machine. Steampunk is a style that blends the Victorian era of steam engines, copper pipes, and pocket watches with fantasies about airships and inventions that never existed. In this context, the wing represents the dream of flight, while the gear represents the technology that is meant to make it possible. If you want your jewelry to immediately belong with a mechanical look rather than an angel costume, then this combination of silver and gold is the right choice.
Making your steampunk look recognizable around the wing earrings
A steampunk outfit becomes recognizable by repeating the same material feel from head to toe. Therefore, wear a top hat with goggles in copper or gold, so that the gears at your ears have a counterpart above your face. A striped corset in brown and gold with a lace bolero over it creates the Victorian silhouette, and fingerless arm sleeves with buckles complete the traveler look. If you want to let your face do the talking, choose a half-mask with gears, with the wing pendants peeking out from under the hair on the free side.
Choose the steampunk earrings with wings and give your outfit for a themed party a mechanical flight on both ears.
