In the taking apart of a DVD player, I sympathize, after a while you will work out what appliances are likely to yield parts (scan Keith’s blog for more hints), that said, stepper motors are probably useful if you can build a driver, and some are also good generators.
People say we are crazy, but we still do it.

What’s your time frame for ASAP?

First, almost all salvaged electronic parts, and probably about half of all new parts, contain quite a bit of lead, typically on the surface of the wires, which is exactly where you don’t want it. There are efforts to reduce or eliminate lead in electronics (you may see RoHS on parts — Reduction of Hazardous Substances), but they’re fairly recent and not yet as widespread as they will be in a few more years. If you’re going to make jewelry with these kinds of parts, you may want to have some strategy to deal with the lead. I don’t have a suggestion; I just bring this up so you’re aware of it.

Second, if you’re handy with a heat gun, you can get lots and lots of salvage for free out of discarded computers and printers that people set out at the curb during spring/fall cleanup.

Third, if you can identify particular components that are visually interesting to you, I can certainly suggest sources to find more of them. You can look through my pictures above and point out interesting stuff, or I may be able to point you to other photographs where you can identify things you like.

Fourth, I don’t have much of an idea about watch and clock parts, but I’d suggest asking a jeweler in your area who services watches. He/she may have a steady stream of inexpensive, broken timepieces that people realize they don’t actually want to fix after they learn the cost involved.

Hope this helps, and have fun making stuff!
