Jewelry x Bionic Unicorn

Want to make a statement? Checkout Bionic Unicorn's beautiful jewelry. Each creation is a one of a kind masterpiece. Truly, truly.... artsy!
"Bionic Unicorn features handmade costume jewelry in styles of steampunk, neo victorian, woodland, tribal, nature inspired & astrology."
Designer, Kristin Berwald, specializes in "creating unique steampunk jewelry with enamel flowers and romantic elements." Her designs are eco-friendly, featuring as many vintage and recycled elements as she can.
Kristin has a "formal art background branching from photography, painting, mixed media, and graphic design." However, jewelry is her passion.
Kristin's favorite trend is "steampunk." "Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victiorian era England - but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other)." - Wikipedia
Kristin loves to create "blooming landscapes of watch gears, flowers, and magical creatues." She is inspired by "color, organic shapes, and cultural influences from the world." Her designs are "statements of bio-mechanic harmony, of plants and nature wound with machines."
I absolutely love that her jewelry has its own style, though influenced by current trends... she puts her own "spin" on each piece. Further, her photography is gorgeous! - I could look at her jewelry photos all day long!
You must visit Bionic Unicorn's links below. I had a hard time narrowing down which pieces to include in this post - there are too many and so hard to choose!
