Hello! I’m Michael Charles, The Crystal Smyth, an extradimensional artificer who crafts relics from the doomed world of Arth.

Each of my creations – be they crown, circlet, chain – is a fragment of myth made tangible. Through my work, I unveil the histories, tragedies, and triumphs of Arth’s many realms. I forge artifacts that carry beauty and story.

I invite all mortals to peer into this otherworld, to collect its relics, and to join the unfolding chronicle of a world long lost.

Starting in 2016 – originally as ‘The Imperial Forge’ – my studio is based in Denver, Colorado. Many of my works have been featured on stage and screen, at LARPs and faires, and in countless make-believe worlds.

I design and produce all of my pieces from scratch in my little workshop, and take great pride in sharing them and their stories with you!
