Rebecca Epp, Artist & Creator of The Steampunk Buddha

Hi, I’m Rebecca Epp—artist, jewelry maker, and the creator behind The Steampunk Buddha.  My work lives in that space where fantasy meets real life, where time-worn metal fuses with vibrant color, and where the weird and the beautiful coexist. I design one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry with a steampunk and alternative twist, blending vintage watch parts, bold colors, and unexpected details to create pieces that are truly unique.

My style is a little goth, a little whimsical, and completely original. I don’t do trends—I do what feels authentic. Every piece I make is infused with intention—vintage watch parts, bold colors, goth glamour, a touch of chaos, and always, a piece of my soul. Nothing here is mass-produced. Nothing here is boring. Every piece I make is carefully crafted by hand, with attention to detail and a touch of my own personality woven in.

I started The Steampunk Buddha because I wanted to create art that stood out, something different from what you’d find in a typical jewelry store. Over time, it’s grown into something bigger: a place where people who don’t fit the mold can find art that speaks their language. I love mixing old and new, hard and soft, strange and beautiful. It’s about contrast, emotion, and expression. Jewelry should feel like a small piece of magic you get to wear.

Beyond jewelry, I’m also a painter and a designer. When I’m not creating jewelry, I paint, design websites, and explore ways to merge traditional craftsmanship with digital design. I like working quietly, creating things that speak louder than I do. Whether you’re here for something dark and dramatic or colorful and quirky, you’re welcome in my little world.

Thanks for stopping by.
