I was so inspired by the gorgeous original, that I took the used pocket watches I had (you can get them from second hand stores for about 5 dollars or less- wrist watches work too)and spent an hour dismantling them and used super glue to meld most of the gears and rhinestones together on the face. I used a soldering gun to join the adjustable ring to the face. One pocket watch was a one-jewel watch,(a teensy ruby) which worked out complementing the faux stones I got out of broken earrings. I can honestly say this ring has bling.
