Seasonal Colors Leaf Necklace with Upcycled Electronic and Watch Parts, Steampun. Heather Jordan Heather Jordan Jewelry
   
To make this piece, I first embedded a red-green led in uv resin, which was poured into a leaf-shaped mold. Sea salt was sprinkled lightly on the top of the resin, just before setting to add a more natural, granular texture to the leaf and diffuse the light. The resin leaf was then set behind on black perfboard. The board was then fitted with a removable wire-wrapped frame, upon which a vast array of upcycled stainless steel watch parts were woven in several layers-- first plates, then gears and finally accent beads, on top. Two glossy hematite beads, set in Sterling silver bead caps complete the otherworldly look of the piece. The colors slowly fade through the seasons; spring-to-summer runs chartreuse to bright green and then a gradual fade through yellow, orange and red into fall, concluding with fade into winter (dying of the light). An ATtiny85 chip controls the lighting pattern and is set in a socket so the chip may be removed for re-programming, if desired. This is led jewelry on a whole new level!

This pendant measures 57x38x29mm (2.2» X 1.5» X 1.1»), and comes suspended on your choice of chain. The circuitry is sealed in a combination of hot glue and electrical tape to keep out dirt/moisture, while affording access to the circuitry, should that ever be needed. The wire-wrapped frame may also be removed (by unscrewing the two nuts & bolts at the top of the frame) to make cleaning easier. Please bear in mind, however that this piece is not waterproof and moisture should be avoided.

The pendant comes wired directly to a black leather/silicone electrical wire necklace. I set a micro-USB port near the clasp at the back of the necklace, where you can plug in a power supply. This necklace comes with a 2-coin cell cr2032 holder for shorter periods of wear (1-2 days) and your choice of either alkaline battery pack or rechargeable power bank with holster that lasts a few weeks.

This piece comes in a futuristic metal box, with custom-fitted foam inserts to protect this edgy and very precious piece of art. It also ships fully-insured and with international tracking, for your convenience and peace of mind. I also include a clip-on charm with qr code (shown) so you can contact me easily.

No more lame glow-in-the-dark, costume jewelry! This shines brightly and will get you noticed!
