There are certain things that really add the finishing touches to anything Steampunk for me, and a convoluted but marvellous name helps.  The Tempest Aberration Cynosure is one such name – the above creation by Ms Amanda Stark, jewellery instructor at BGSU.  This one, which I like to imagine serves to measure the ætheric storm currents lashing our tiny planet, is made from Sterling silver, copper, nu-gold(?) and glass.  There are three others too – the Calerdrical Continuance Register (obviously some sort of pan-dimentional timepiece, in my humble opinion), the Zephyr Emanation Observer (1 of 4) , which actually might serve as a wind-sensor, and the Resonance Compilation Monitor, which I have to admit, stumps even my attempts at guessing its Steampunk purpose.

Simply amazing, and really very inspiring.  I can imagine whole stories being woven around one of these artifacts of a never-time.  Whole worlds set up to have made one of these devices not only exist, but required for some people’s daily tasks.  Wonderful stuff – thank you very much to Blacklines (Mr/Ms?) for sending this in.  I wonder if Ms Stark has any more in this vein?
