Price range: Starting at $12
Everything’s Shiny Creations features unique and custom jewelry and accessories, specializing in “”geek chic”” and pop culture.

All items are hand-crafted and individually made.
Most of the things I create are inspired by my love of geek and pop culture. I started my business because it can be hard to find geek jewelry that is appropriate to wear in everyday/professional settings, and I wanted to be able to help others celebrate their fandoms.
