Jean Paul Gaultier Paris designed this stunning pendant necklace in the 1990s for his Steampunk collection. The design features a silvered metal chain with a lobster closing clasp, ornate with a transparent and black multi-layer teardrop pendant. The medallion has a Roman-inspired gilded metal cameo embedded in the material. The piece is signed at the back with a Gaultier metal tag.
 
Note: Steampunk fashion is a subgenre of the steampunk movement in science fiction. It is a mixture of the Victorian era's romantic view of science in literature and elements from the Industrial Revolution in Europe during the 1800s. The fashion is designed with a post-apocalyptic era in mind. Steampunk fashion encompasses clothing, hairstyling, jewelry, body modification, and make-up.
In 2010, steampunk style entered the high-end fashion market as designer John Galliano brought elements from the trend to his spring haute couture show for Christian Dior. Another designer associated with the steampunk style is Jean Paul Gaultier, who, from the 1990s, integrated elements of this current into his fashion and jewelry collections. In particular, he frequently uses corsets made of different materials in his fashion shows.
