What You Need To Know When Choosing Steam Punk Earrings

By Beryl Dalton


One of the fun things about modern fashion is the ability to mix and match from different styles and looks. One particular style that is being seen on a larger number of people is the steam punk style. Whether they are using this fashion esthetic for a head-to-toe look or are simply adding something like steam punk earrings to a more mainstream outfit, it is becoming more common to see unique pieces popping up in all walks of life.

If you are not familiar with this style, it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. Part of this is because the style is quite similar to modern day style. In this alternate universe, however, it is steam power that fuels vehicles and industry. Followers of the author H. G. Wells will find it easy to envision this world. There is often a Victorian flare to things that are worn or used.

There are some elements that are common to all steam punk pieces. It is not uncommon to see Victorian clasps or fasteners on clothing. Goggles are very much a part of the look as are exposed gears. Some items may seem very dark, sombre and Gothic. Other items may actually have a military feel (think uniforms and pith helmets) or even a western flare to them. All of these things will work well within this particular style. This is part of what makes it so popular with its fans.

When it is time to go shopping you may want to think about how obvious you want your pieces to be. Do you want to go head to toe or just add a few smaller items? This could tell you how large you want your earrings or other jewelry pieces to be.

Looking at images of costumes from the Victorian era can be helpful before you go shopping. You may find that you are able to adapt vintage jewelry pieces so that they fit the steam punk look. Some of these may be quite affordable and easier to find than pieces that are specific to the steam punk genre.

The internet can also help you find a number of websites that feature this kind of style. You can find many different types of jewelry including necklaces, pins, bracelets and rings. You may also be able to find some smaller items such as individual gears that can help you create earrings that are one of a kind.

Just keep balance in mind when adding any unique piece to your outfit. It may not be as important if you are going to an event where this style is common. If, however, you are trying to achieve a more versatile look, an understated outfit will allow you to show off your more unusual accessories without looking odd or out of place.

This particular style can be a lot of fun and its no surprise that it is as popular as it is. Even if you cannot dress this way from head to toe, you can at least enjoy accessories such as earrings that are fun and beautiful to wear.
