    Meet the Vendors: Rochelle’s Designs

    Rochelle’s Designs started at Nuke Con years ago creating jewelry for game lovers.  Lanyards turned into RPG accessories and now custom pieces, which you can order by contacting Rochelle at rogallagher2@gmail.com.  The last couple years we have added dice earrings and meeples.  We look forward to creating new expressions every year.
