A few I've found today:

SteamPunk Fuchsia Crystal Phoenix Bird Statement Ring

Again with the shiny pink things...

Grid Iron Old Fashioned Football Helmet Hat Vinyl Brown Aviator Steampunk Sport

This one I can almost seen being used to create something steampunk, but in and of itself...definitely not (in my opinion anyway).

On the Run GIRAFFE Ring on Filigree BOHO Steampunk Ant. BRASS Art Nouveau Style

Nothing is more steampunk than a running giraffe captured as a ring.

VINTAGE HIPSTER SUNGLASSES - NOS STOCK - DEPP Steampunk Gray/Green Lens

This is just offensive.

5 CLOCK MOVEMENT GEARS*PARTS ALTERED ART*STEAMPUNK NR

And this is just ridiculous.
I sincerely hope that nobody is thick enough to spend $18 on five gears...

I'd have no problem spending $18 on five gears- but they'd have to be substantially larger than a quarter.

That's a good point!
I had meant to write that as part of my original statement, but apparently forgot to.
But asking $18 for five gears of that size is ridiculous.
Especially when you could (probably) buy the clock that those gears (and more) came out of for less than that price.

I'm actually more offended by the phrase "vintage hipster sunglasses" than the fact that they threw Steampunk at the end.  Implying that these hipsters have been here a while and that their style had remained constant.  Although band wagoners are nothing new, what they glom on to has changed wildly.

I'm gonna have to go with Rev. Jade.



Although the hello kitty rings are VERY non steampunk they got titled as many different things (goth, love, heart, etc.) This one seemed to be titled only as steampunk, and that's why I chose it.

That looks more like symptoms of possession by a minor demon than a fashion accessory. It would probably itch.

i was reading this thread and i agree with most but i think the chloroform would be steampunk if you creating a bad guy steam punk persona such as a pirate, or theif, or kidnapper, jack the ripper style. then chloroform on the neck would be a good idea, like an assassin would have poison, or an alcoholic alcohol

I think the cuffs look less steampunk than the spigot handles.

The handles at least look useful, if rather gaudy and, according to the description, plastic.

Those cuffs look distressingly organic, and with that color rather unwell at that.  And the embossed smirking skulls just look humorous.  The whole thing has a knobbly silhouette from a distance that suggests something a little more primitive than steampunk.

I'll let them off with the rice paper steampunk butterfly cake toppers as I'm nice and if you squint at them they look brassy and engineered

I just don't see these as being used in anything steampunk, while the spigot handles at least have some potential, despite the ugly plastic coatings on them.

Just think, Bon Jovi was a steampunk band all this time and I never knew.
Speaking of T shirts, I think that this one deserves a mention.

The blouse is fairly Steamy, and the mannequin provably looks quite nice, in the original Japanese coloring. Japanese features on a redhead with blue-green eyes is two great looks that clash horribly.
