What You Need To Know When Choosing Steam Punk Earrings

By Beryl Dalton


One of the funnest fashion trends around is known as "steam punk". There are a large number of people who love the sense of fun and whimsy that this trend brings with it. If you want to add pieces to your own wardrobe, you may want to consider smaller pieces such as steam punk earrings. That way you can embrace this trend without making it impossible for you to carry it over into your daily life.

If you are not familiar with this style, it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. Part of this is because the style is quite similar to modern day style. In this alternate universe, however, it is steam power that fuels vehicles and industry. Followers of the author H. G. Wells will find it easy to envision this world. There is often a Victorian flare to things that are worn or used.

Once you start shopping you will begin to see certain trends and certain themes repeated. Clasps, gears, goggles and fasteners are all part of the style. Also, its not uncommon to see vintage uniform pieces such as jackets, boots and helmets included in this style of outfit. Other people will wear pieces that have a more western feel to them.

Before you shop, you might want to look at the other jewelry pieces that you own. This can help you avoid buying something which you might not be comfortable wearing. If your current pieces are small and understated, your new pieces should be as well. Over time, if you want to start increasing the size of your earrings or other pieces, you can do so as well.

Researching the eras that are part of this genre can also help you when you go shopping. Once you have a feel for what you want, you can look both online and in vintage stores as well. It may not take much to adapt vintage pieces to give them the feel you are looking for.

The internet can also help you find a number of websites that feature this kind of style. You can find many different types of jewelry including necklaces, pins, bracelets and rings. You may also be able to find some smaller items such as individual gears that can help you create earrings that are one of a kind.

Balance is key when adding any accessory to an outfit. Pieces such as earrings can be the focal point of an outfit but you want to make sure that the rest of your outfit won't pull attention away from them. You might want to keep your clothing and accessories neutral and understated so that your steam punk side can be seen easily and tastefully.

This particular style can be a lot of fun and its no surprise that it is as popular as it is. Even if you cannot dress this way from head to toe, you can at least enjoy accessories such as earrings that are fun and beautiful to wear.
