Steampunk Engraved Keys

Incredible Key by Steamgadget!
I was reading the Breaking Bad subreddit this morning and clicked on an image link... and another picture caught my eye, which led me to this most AMAZING engraved key I've ever seen!  I don't know this etsy seller (steamgadget), and I hope he's okay with me posting his image of his work of ART, but I just had to say this.  This engraving work he does (by hand!  with chisels!!) on regular brass keys is breathtaking! AND the key is still fully functional!  He even shows the process to achieve this beautiful key.  It's amazing to scroll down and see that!

HERE is his etsy shop.  (He says more will be added---I hope so!)

HERE are some of his works on imgur. 

I love some Steampunk pieces and I'm not a fan of others (no more goggles or gas masks please!!).   But I've never seen anything quite like this hand-engraved key by steamgadget -- it's so fantastic!  The handmade (and engraved) bail is sterling silver, as are the two plaques on the sides of this particular key.  He hand-fabricated that rose in the center of the cross out of sterling as well. 

On imgur he shows another key with sterling silver on one side, like a swirling wave, that I covet!  Steamgadget, you are a true artist!  Bravo!
