Etsy shop Altered Beauty

At first glance, one might think that AlteredBeauty's Etsy shop is a very nice shop that has great steampunk jewelry. But, once there, I was enticed to stroll about and learn more about the passion that's put into each and every piece. It became obvious that the creator of this beautiful jewelry is a deep thinker who expresses herself through her art.

The artist's favorite piece is the Atropos necklace, and I have to agree that it's mine, too. The necklace is extremely interesting because of the mythological story behind the Goddess, Atropos, the oldest of the three Fates, who's work involved death and the ultimate destiny of souls.

The necklace is better described in the listing:

"This necklace represents Atropos using three items. The first is a beautifully detailed skull charm, symbolizing death. The second is a tiny pair of scissors, representing her "abhorred shears" used to cut the thread of life. The third item is a beautiful vintage watch movement, representing both the mechanism of death and cycle of life. The chain is long and can easily be slipped over your head without the use of a clasp or toggle. This is truly a one of a kind piece. I will be making jewelry representing the other Moirae as well, but Atropos has always been my favorite so I created this one first."

I'm looking forward to more of such creations. Please stop by AlertedBeauty's shop to take a better look
