Steampunk Month Giveaway: Modded Book Locket Necklace

Torie Atkinson

I have a lot of books, don’t I?

This stunning pendant is a modified book locket keychain that the incredible Tanya, aka VividWhimsy, made into the necklace you see before you. It is adorned with a vintage 17 jewel rectangular watch movement and a wee vintage cream rose cabochon that used to be part of a brooch. Try to contain your jewelry lust. No wait, don’t.

The pendant, measuring 1 ¼", hangs from a fine, vintage goldtone 31" chain.

Tanya is extraordinary—be sure to check out her entire Etsy shop of handmade vintage creations.

The Rules: To get this giveaway, all you need to do is comment (once—duplicates won’t count) on this post. The winner will be selected at random. You have until noon EST on Monday, October 26th, to comment here. Please check your e-mail on this day—you have 24 hours to respond before I select a new winner.


Torie Atkinson’s inner magpie is a dangerous thing.

In the mid nineteen hundreds, while on an expedition into the Andes Mountains, Professor Mandan came upon an ancient Inca Temple. The temple was small and had but one treasure, this very same small device this now adorns your book. It was the lone remaining evidence pointing to a fabled civilization that predated the Incas, the Mechanars. Theirs was a civilization built on metallurgy and mechanics. But at several thousand years before the Incas, we know that is impossible. The whole earth was in the Stone Age.

Professor Mandan gave this small device to his daughter, Eastelle. Who made a pendant of it and wore it always. She took after her father and became adventuring scientist. She went with her father to discover an ancient mine which he believed was developed by the Mechanars. When there was a cave in at the mine, her only hope to rescue her father was the discovery of an ancient Mechanar mining machine. When she finally finds the machine and is struggling to try and find a way to start the machine, she realizes that her pendant is the mechanical key that starts the machine.

She wrote down her adventures in a small book and attached the mechanical key to the top of it.
