And though I claim no affiliation with the movement, I admit that my engines are fired by that same spark of wonder, that blazing spirit of invention.
Like the relic of some long long-lost machinist cult, or the herald of new and wondrous age, these mysterious emblems are certainly objects of intrigue. They appear both curiously mechanical and curiously alive.
The pendant is solid brass, featuring hand-made acrylic irises, and measures 18mm in diameter. Chains are purchased separately.
