This is one of my all-time favorite steampunk pendants! To create the light, I immersed an LED and in UV resin with purple pigment, set in a crystal-shaped mold. Next, I mounted the crystal LED on black perfboard with a 3V battery holder on the back. The board was then fitted with a removable wire-wrapped frame, woven by-hand with upcycled brass watch parts and a natural, polished amethyst bead, set in stacked brass bead caps.
This pendant measures 61x38x24mm (2.4" x 1.5" x 0.9"), 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 repair ever be required. 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.
*Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, filled in and signed by the artist; photo of the piece and materials are listed on the reverse side of the card. There is also a little surprise when you push the button!
**All measurements were taken without the battery inserted.
***BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. Runs on a single CR2032 coin cell.
