SteamPunk tech

SteamPunk is not just about using old watch cogs and wheels.

 To me it's about technology, new and old. It's about the idea of technology, about where we have been and where we are going to.

With this in mind I give you......

Bold and Beautiful

These have been the most outstandingly popular design from Philip's recent "Bold and Beautiful" Range. Available in Shiny as shown, Heavily Beaten finish and Matt Beaten finish, Philip has recently added a Pendant to match any of the finishes on a Nitrol Necklace.
Nitrol is a magic modern product which is used for washers and seals in car engines. It is acid proof, heat proof and oil proof, so it stands up to all of those things the body throws at it and unlike silk or cotton cords, does not break down, nor fill up with body oils and become stiff and smelly. Philip cuts it to whatever necklace lengths you desire and fits Sterling Silver fittings. www.philipthornton.co.nz

Gothic Glory
