About Fantasy Trove
Long before I started making jewelry, I taught myself how to sew and make costumes because I thought it would be exciting to cosplay (dress up) as my favorite fictional characters!

From there, I learned how to make props, such as armor, swords and shields - each unique to the character I wanted to represent.
To achieve the most accurate cosplay, I taught myself how to use epoxy resin, make silicone molds, use a 3D printer and more!

My costumes and prop tutorials have been featured in magazines.
I was a cosplay guest at Indiana Comic Con in 2017. And I won “Best In Show” at Anime Crossroads in 2019.

Also in 2019, I published a book about how to Cosplay on a budget, entitled 'Cosplay Cents', which featured many popular characters, their creators and valuable tips about crafting.

Moving Onto Jewelry
Although making costumes was fun, it got tiresome after awhile. So I decided to refocus my learned skills into making jewelry!
Since I am a big fan of vintage and fantasy, most of my jewelry carries those themes.
I create whatever makes me happy and what I believe would bring happiness to others!
I love making things that have a chance to become part of someone's cherished memories. People have worn my designs to weddings, proms, renaissance fairs and more.
One extra special story was from a woman who had recently lost her son. She said that he'd loved dragons, so she ordered a dragon locket to keep his memory alive.

My Promise To You
I WILL NEVER DROP SHIP!
Often, people get tricked into buying something from someone who uses a third party to ship their item. These sellers never actually see the item beforehand. And, therefore, they cannot check it for quality.
As a result, their customers receive merchandise that is damaged or looks nothing like what they had ordered. In some cases, they do not even receive their order at all!
