Ricky Wolbrom of New York is the designer of steampunk jewelry. Her Etsy store is called EDM Designs. She collects vintage Swiss watch parts to make her jewelry. Some designs are so painstakingly put together, they could take her days to complete. She mounts these watch parts on rings and cuff links. She also incorporates them into pendants and earrings. The result is a unique form of jewelry which brings back the beauty of these old timepieces.

The word “steampunk” apparently originated in the 1980’s to describe science fiction literature set in a bygone age in the style of 19th century science fantasy books by H. G. Wells (The Time Machine, War of the Worlds) and Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). Steampunk fans for e.g. wear clothes from a different century and favour technological designs which look like they came from the 19th century. Ricky’s designs are sure to please steampunk fans.

Her stuff may look nice and shiny, but be VERY careful when dealing with this person. I did a quick Google and came up with some pretty scary stuff. http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3/?p=1631 Make sure you read the comments! 0_o http://www.ripoffreport.com/jewelry-stores/edmdesigns/edmdesigns-edm-designs-ricky-8bc42.htm If that's not enough, go to her Etsy store and look at her feedback. LOTS of angry customers who got their packages late, were lied to about shipping dates, got faulty merchandise, and then got verbally abused for their troubles. The feedback she leaves for anyone who dares complain is creepy in it's vehemence. There are WAY too many truly talented steampunk designers out there, don't bother with this one, she's a nutter!

PLEASE by ALL MEANS, go check out the above link provided by "Albert". The poster did not "find" any such link, she CREATED the link and is in a sad, downward spiral "trying" to defame the talented artist above. Why? The comment and associated link were created by the same CYNTHIA GRACE ACOSTA (or just GRACE, as she likes to call herself), who USED to sell her own Steampunk jewelry on Etsy.com, but was thrown off and her accounts were terminated. EDMDesigns was her larger and MUCH more successful competitor, so what did GRACE do? She created numerous phony accounts and proceeded to use them to "purchase" ALL of her competitors items from her store without paying - some 300 products ($10,000 plus) every "strike". Obviously she had her accounts revoked and no longer has any viable venue to sell her... "items" we'll call them (not ideal for those with taste). Anyway, why is she still going at it? Cause she lives on disability, having conveniently undiagnosable ailments, so she lives off of other taxpayers' money while she sits at home and thinks of ways to blame others for why she is, unfortunately, a loser. Very sad. And to boot, REAL PROFESSIONALS try to calm the demons in the self-admittedly unstable person's brain, with prescriptions of Buspar (yeesh), but when you don't work for a living to support your own family and feel worthless, you either do something to change your life or lash out at others. So with all of the free time of those who consciously choose to let others carry their weight, you find flame posts like the one above. Fortunately anyone with half a wit's insight can see what's really going on. And if you want a laugh, check out the link she gives above, it's a real hoot!

I checked: As of right now, EDM Designs Etsy shop has 100% positive feedback from 2884 buyers. Looks like the service is as great as the designs!
