{"product_id":"watch-mechanism-drop-earrings","title":"Watch Mechanism Drop Earrings, Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTiny working-style mechanics, worn as jewellery. Each earring holds a 16mm watch movement rescued from a vintage wristwatch of the 1960s or 70s, set in a sterling silver claw setting so the gears, screws and tiny wheels are on show from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese are a delicate, modern take on steampunk fashion. Instead of oversized cogs and brass, the mechanics are small, refined and set in polished silver, so they work as easily with everyday outfits as with a full steampunk look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe movements are 17-jewel calibres, which means the ruby jewels that once kept the watches running smoothly are still in place. Look closely and you'll spot the flashes of ruby red and brass gold among the silver cogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWatches of this era were made to be repaired and kept for life, but many have been left in drawers or discarded when they stopped ticking. We give their movements a second life as wearable trench art. As the parts are salvaged, no two movements are exactly alike, so your pair will have its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey hang from sterling silver ear wires and are light enough for all-day wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch movement size: 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovements: vintage 1960s and 70s wristwatches, 17 ruby jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting and ear wires: sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: steampunk-inspired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe movements no longer run and are decorative; the earrings are not waterproof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order in our workshop near Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and ready to send within 3 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a beautiful black box with the Thornhill logo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thornhill Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65014714827129,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/6945\/files\/watchearrings.jpg?v=1793109812","url":"https:\/\/www.thornhilljewellery.com\/products\/watch-mechanism-drop-earrings","provider":"Thornhill Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
