We've featured the fantastically creative [steampunk jewelery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-mechanical-timepieces) by EDM Designs before, but our last feature was prodominently of more masculine-looking accessories. This time around, we're putting our metaphorical spectacles to the designer's more peculiar pieces, like a [gothic wrist cuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival) with a magpie bird and a steampuck vintage silver ring made of pocket watch parts and a red [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop) crystal. A similar piece by EDM Designs previosly caught the attention of Auxiliary Fashion Magazine who plunked a green version of the stunner inside a model's mouth on its cover.

Check out some of EDM Designs most creative marvels.
