Geek Chic Fandom Jewelry
Geek chic and fandom jewelry have taken the world by storm, merging pop culture with personal style. Jewelry makers have been inspired by blockbuster films, smash video games, best-selling books, sold-out comic-cons and other expressions of geek chic.
Fandom jewelry is a collaborative and creative trend—whether it's futuristic explorers, superheroes, dragon trainers, Greek mythology, mustachioed plumbers or any other fictional favorites. Like sports fans wearing their teams' colors and mascots, fandom jewelry lets the world know where someone feels they belong.
This trend can have a literal approach—where a designer recreates a famous accessory or prop—or choose a more inspirational method that balances the designer's style with the source material. Geek chic and fandom jewelry isn’t just for Comic-Con attendees; it’s a billion-dollar industry flourishing worldwide. That's a huge market and you, too, can design for it.
