The amazing Allison, aka RockLove, brings our next piece: a Steampunk Keyhole Plate Pendant! Like all of her creations, this pendant is hand-carved and cast nickle-free sterling silver. The pendant measures 3″ long. It has been oxidized and then repolished for maximum contrast and depth of color, and comes with both a silk ribbon and leather cord.
Allison’s work speaks for itself. Check out her online store, particularly the steampunky Victorian Glam items and eco-friendly leather and brass cuffs (airship pirate!). Her newest line of items will be an Imperial Collection, inspired by pre-1900s communist military buttons and sovereign regalia, in sterling silver, vermeil, and 14K. (Alert! Haute Macabre is giving away the first of these items, a gorgeous garnet Maltese Cross. Go throw your hat in!)
She’s also offered us a sneak peek of some of these items: check out these soon-to-be-released pendants crafted from authentic pre-1900s communist military coat buttons!
Her only request is that you check out her site and let her know what items you like best.

That Keyhole Plate Pendant is very beautiful. So unique and elegant.
Beautiful! I want.
All of RockLove’s work is fantastic and creative. I really cannot wait to see all of the new pieces she’s coming out with. :D
Gorgeous pendant! I just fell hard for steampunk this week Wednesday at 10:37 a.m. But I don’t care for the gear shape in my jewelry, funnily enough. The keyhole plate pendant is a lovely steampunky way around that. Have always loved keys, locks, etc.
For the wife!
That’s very nice.
nice.
Shiny!

commenting, commenting…anybody there?
Love, love love her stuff!!

I adore this pendant. I really love it, but can’t afford it.
Allison makes such beautiful jewlery :)
Nice
Very nice.
Very very beautiful, but alas, also very, very expensive.
Beautiful!!!!
Very nice. A gift for my daughter.
I shall enter this drawing. If I win, then I will solemnly accept both the lock and the quest to find its key.
There is an empty lot on Nineteenth Street in the Heights Historic District. Not too far from the old trolley line, the lot recently held an outdoor junk shop. It was attended by three older gentlemen with straw hats, white beards and plaid shirts. The fence was strewn with shelves that held the most amazing metal bric-a-brac, toys, antique tools, and instruments. Behind the fence was scrap wood, a boiler, and various furnishings. The men would sell any of it only for cash and only after hard bargaining. But before, long ago, there had been a building. And the front door had been very special. The lock was even more special. If one wishes to tease out the secret of the old lot, one must attach the lock to the fence on the night of a waxing moon. Then the key must be joined in the lock and turned counter-clockwise.
I want anything from the victorian glam
Very nice!
Oh, that’s lovely!
I have the REPO scalpel necklace and think that Allison’s work is completely amazing! Would love to win this one. Love it!
Very pretty.
Nice, “Does that unlock your heart?”
I cut my literary teeth on steampunk, and like the ethos of the whole genre.
awesome
I would like to give this to my wife!
Pretty!
ooh, me please!
Fingers crossed.
Very cool and creative. Love it!
I’ll take one. Love her work.

Hi everyone! Not sure if you’ll find this but I think it’s time for a…
***DISCLAIMER BY THE ARTIST***
I love that you are all so historically inclined, but I’ve gotten 5 emails now from people giving me polite to nasty timeline lessons.
The new collection is inspired by Imperial, Soviet, Communist, etc imagery. AND you haven’t seen the whole collection yet. These buttons happen to be from Communist Ethiopia, the Boer War, etc. An couple shield pendants which haven’t even been photographed yet, are from part of Russian and English drape medallions. The Maltese crosses are inspired by medieval monarchy. And more pieces which are not even finished, charting everything from China to South Africa.
So now that we know, no more nasty messages flexing your knowledge until the ENTIRE COLLECTION is released.
*ahhhh feels relieved* Thank you to all the LOVELY messages though :) It out-ways the hatemail
That’s very cool.
please
That’s absolutely gorgeous. Toss my name into the hat, please!

Please choose me!
I like this one :)
Pretty cool, wish i could make one!!
RockLove’s jewelry is phenomenal. And personally, I think SHE makes her brand. While her work speaks for itself, she is one of the greatest people to do business with. She is such a pleasure and is extremely accommodating with her customers.
I spread the word whenever I can about her work! here’s to hoping I win that! If not… I’ll probably buy it anyways.
Allison is incredibly talented! Not to mention drop-dead gorgeous.
I would buy this pendant in a heart beat – as soon as i gets the money :) The military buttons would also make great cufflinks. I love cufflinks.
Very cool!
Very pretty! Yes, please!
Those are awesome looking. The GF would love one.
Very Victorian. I do like this one.
Beautiful!
Pretty; my wife would love it.
Me please!
Very nice!
I hope I’m not to late to enter . . .
Too late?
Nice pendant
Please enter me in the drawing . . .
thx
Love the leather wrist cuffs!!! I think the Imperial collection will be amazing. Looking forward to it!
Wow. ^-^
So who won? It’s two days past, and no winner announced?
Oh poop, I love her stuff and I think I missed this. Insert sad face here!
