Jewelry has the unique ability to inspire and transport wearers to other places and times. During a time when fashion is riding the "geek chic" wave, now is the time to cast your jewelry-making spell on the ever-growing fantasy culture. Not all geeks are Trekkies, and some prefer to escape reality to worlds of magic and adventure through their wardrobe and accessories. Use your fantastical jewelry to send customers on magical quests fraught with dangerous creatures and epic rewards inspired by their favorite book-inspired TV series, movies and more.

Big names including Chanel, have capitalized on our interest in fantasy fashion for more than one season. While comic conventions and cosplay (dressing up as favorite characters) trends remain popular, creative designers find a lucrative niche for both sci-fi and fantasy themes. Customers have the opportunity to traverse an epic world where jewelry is inspired by mystical lands or mythological fairy tale creatures. Dragons don't only exist in these realms; they're the norm, along with fairies, wizards and more. Ways to enchant with this trend include:
