Handcrafted Stainless Steel Steampunk Bumblebee Pin – Light-Up Clockwork Filigree Brooch
£34.95

Inspired by the imaginative world of steampunk, my jewellery and sculptures blend the elegance of the Victorian era with the intrigue of futuristic invention. I’m endlessly drawn to the neo-Victorian aesthetic, where ornate design meets impossible machinery and fantastical creatures. This handcrafted Victorian-inspired brooch captures that spirit beautifully. Made from stainless steel filigree findings, a glass pumpkin vial, stainless steel casing, and a soft internal light, it’s a striking piece of wearable art. The illustrated wings shimmer with iridescence and are finished with delicate filigree details and a tiny cog, creating a perfect balance of elegance and mechanical charm.

Wearable Art with a Mechanical Soul

Hi there, I’m Denise, the creator behind Spanky Spangler Design.

From my studio in Gateshead, I fuse a love for science fiction with the ornate elegance of neo-Victorian Steampunk. My passion is creative upcycling, breathing new life into broken watches, vintage cogs, and dead lightbulbs by transforming them into intricate clockwork insects and wearable sculptures.

For years, people loved my lightbulb bugs but always asked: "Do they actually light up?" In 2020, after months of tinkering and engineering, I made it my mission to make it happen. Today, my signature light-up brooches and glowing cyberpunk wasps are the crown jewels of my collection.

Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, unique, and designed to be a definitive conversation starter. Whether you are a cosplayer, a dreamer, or just love the extraordinary, welcome to my whimsical clockwork world!
