Steampunk; Steam pretty

I'm not entirely certain what the Steampunk genre is about, but I am becoming impressed with it. Especially its intricacy- look at this piece by earthfirestudio:

I love the glitter to it as well as the cogs and the watch like aspect of it.

Then there are pieces that seem so feminine married with functionality. http://www.etsy.com/listing/47918017/steampunk-necklace-ooak-the-steampunk?ref=v1_other_2

I almost expect to touch something and have the working pieces of a watch to churn about on this piece. Its no secret that I love feminine things (and LJCTtree's soaps!) . I wonder how on earth this is crafted. Do you know what Steampunk is all about?
