Steampunk jewelry Artist : Daniel Proulx

My name is Daniel Proulx from Montreal. I make Wire-wrapped Steampunk Jewelry with brass, copper and gemstones

INSPIRATION:

I always was very interested in fantasy imaginary world such as Dungeon & Dragon, Lord of the Rings and Science fiction. I’m also inspired by the mix of mechanical, organic shapes and contrast between ancient and futuristic designs.

HOW IT BEGAN:

In April of 2008 I started to make rings just for fun after Catherine (My better half) learned how to make simple wire rings during a 2 hour lesson. I just watched how she made it and tried. Since then I spent several hours every day perfecting and developing my own technique to create an original design. I quickly started to make very retro-futurist model of rings. At that time I decided embarked into this adventure, quit my job and try to live on my jewelry full-time.

One day a friend told me what i was doing was Steampunk . I research the subject and fell in love with this culture . I always liked Steampunk but i didn't know there was a name for it . 

Since 2008 i have sold over 5000 pieces , including sculptures of robots , insect and interesting critters . 

Since then i have also been given the amazing opportunity to have my work featured the first ever Steampunk Exhibition to be held at a major museum at the University of Oxford in the UK in 2009 at the Mark Twain and House Museum Steampunk Exhibition and the Kew Steam bridge Museum . 

My creations also been featured in several Magazine , Newspapers and Books :

- The Art of Steampunk by Art Donovan 

- 1000 Steampunk Creations 

- Steampunk: An Illustrated History of Fantastical Fiction, Fanciful Film and Other Victorian Visions

- International Steampunk Fashion 

Recently one of my rings was also worn by Allison Scagliotti ( Claudia Donovan ) in Warehouse 13 season 2 and one of my sculpture is featured on one of Neil Gaiman's book .

In addition i have been invited as a Special Guest at Fan Expo Canada , ComicCon Montreal , ComicCon Ottawa and Otakuthon where i organized panels with the collaborations of the local Steampunk Community , Steampunk Montreal and Steampunk Canada . 

See the full list of my acheivement's here : http://danielproulx.blogspot.ca/2010/03/steampunk-jewelry-designer-daniel.html

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me .

I really appreciate all the support you have given me .

It helped me become a successful artist.

Sincerely

Daniel Proulx

Steampunk Jewelry : Rings

The first jewelry i ever made was a ring and for a long time i was selling only rings in my Etsy Boutique ; CatherinetteRings. Originally i used only copper . Then i started to use brass and Sterling silver .

My rings started from the idea that in a steampunk parallel universe , a scientist found a way to channel the various powers locked into gemstones by inventing jewelry using ancient mystical technology . Each stone is linked to a different plane of existence , they are fossilized fragment from these dimensional plane that can be found deep into the earth . Long time ago in a forgotten time these plane were once one with our world but for some mysterious reason they were separated .
