Trinket #170 - Clockwork Brooch

In the interest of full disclosure, I purchased the bones for this brooch as a necklace from Etsy. It never worked well as a necklace, so I moved a few bits around, added a couple of little things, and attached the whole construction to a brooch pin. I think this reinvented trinket would look dandy on a lapel or even on a hatband with some sort of upscale lady's steampunk ensemble...

    I have that exact design of filigree... Very steam-punkish and I love it!

    (PS.. I was trying to find a way to bend it and make it into a finger ring) :D

    I wonder if heating it would make it more pliable without cracking or flaking the finish when it bends? Hmmm... Now you have me thinking about experimenting...
