Stitch a unique collection of beaded gears! The gear is a standard component of mechanical machines, which are most elegantly expressed through the inner workings of clocks. While steampunk jewelry typically highlights clockwork mechanisms through metal gears and chains, this piece comes together entirely from glass and crystal. Stitch lots of two-hole Miyuki Half Tilas and Quarter Tilas together along with several types of Japanese bugle beads to create each gear. Tons of variations are possible using these beaded gears; use them to stitch bracelets, earrings, and several combinations of long or short pendants!
