The ClockworkZero store on Etsy specializes in steampunk and cyberpunk jewelry as well as geek gifts. Many of the pieces are made with repurposed components. Take for instance, my favorite, the recycled chainsaw blade earrings set off by garnet beads, shown as the lead photo in the gallery above.
The self-described ‘geek girl’ behind ClockworkZero is also a Science Fiction and horror short story writer who is published under the name C.A. Manestar.
