Searching for Steampunk

I am trying to assemble a Steampunk bracelet...something that embodies that futuristic Victorian vibe. This is what I have so far:


I chose Waterlily because it is modern. I selected Thor's Hammer to represent machinery. I picked Jugend and Art Deco to be Beauty.

What would you add? It could be production or uniques. You all are very creative! I want to add the new bumpy style bead with the double bumps followed by a center circle/bump in a repeating pattern.

Oh course, nothing says Steampunk like the Bullfrog beads , but I will have to make do without until I manage to save the funds!!

Nothing screams steampunk quite so much as an octopus

What a great idea for a bracelet, and I love your choices so far. What about the waves bead? I think a bead with that kind of movement would look great and quite industrial, as well as linking to Jules Verne... water/steam... Atlantis? I can't wait to see which beads you choose and how it looks at the end!

I love the idea of a steampunk bracelet.
What about adding smiling cylinders and black silk ?
When DH saw smiling cylinders for the first time, he thought it could be part of an ancient machine

Hmmm...I do have that bead. Maybe Silver Bead with Garnets, too? I don't have a Black Silk yet.

I also thought about a Waves bead. I don't have one of those yet.

I just noticed one of the UK jewellers has the waves bead for only £22.40, not sure how it compares with the US price but for us that is super cheap. Thought I would let you know just in case. I think smiling cylinders is a great idea! I have the silver with garnets bead and absolutely love mine, so I am bias but recommend that too.
