Is it possible to fall in love with a ring? I feel I can when I look at mine. Thank you, Mia, for crafting it. I can’t describe with words how happy I am that I can have the drawings of both of my sons carved onto the same ring. Wonderful piece of fine craftsmanship, I am grateful for it. Szilvi from Sweden
Mia is the only person I trust with the gemstones passed down to me by my grandmother. She makes breathtaking pieces out of my old jewels. I always receive compliments when wearing Formia Design items.
Mia, thanks for everything. The pendant you made me is perfect. Excellent service from start to finish. You have a customer for life!! I’m so pleased with the work- it’s exceptional!!!!!
Mia is absolutely fantastic to work with! We were given a family brooch to use for our wedding jewelry and Mia used the stones and gold to create the perfect engagement and wedding rings for us! Definitely talk to Mia if you need any kind of jewelry - her prices are very competitive compared to what we saw, and the end product is far superior!
From start to finish, Mia offered a comforting energy that eased any anxiety about crafting an engagement ring. Throughout the process, she provided tangible options to view and consider, she remained open to any changes in ideas, and she always allowed us to take our time when deciding. Through her past work, Mia can facilitate the visualization process for anyone unsure of their preferences, and her creativity and confidence in her craftsmanship open doors of possibility. Above all, Mia listened intently every step of the way, and we both love the ring she created. We know the engagement ring will always carry many memories - including ones about the process of its creation, so thank you Mia!
I have the highest praise for Mia and her work redesigning my wedding band. I could not be happier with the final piece, which goes with my engagement ring as if they were meant to be. It was my first time working with Mia, and some may say I was crazy to do so with my wedding band. It was not a lightly taken decision for me, and I researched several jewelers before going with Mia. She is exceptional at her craft...her portfolio captures her true versatility, and her range is incredible.
I found Formia Design and Mia through Pinterest and I could not be happier. I contacted Mia because I wanted to do something special with my grandparents wedding band and my fathers wedding band. I sent her some inspiration pics of my rough ideas and she took it from there and created a beautiful bracelet with my grandparents bands and an amazing stacked necklace with my dads band and a loose diamond that I had. She was sensitive to the fact that I wanted to preserve the basic integrity and the engraving in the bands. In addition to be a great artist she has the ability to listen to the customers needs and take our basic ideas and create something beautiful. would definitely work with her again.
I am a returning customer of Mia, this time I’ve requested 3 identical pendants with a very detailed and intricate design. The execution of those is amazing, the end result is a creation that definitely will connect us as a family for years to come, everlasting bonding jewelries. Thank you .
Mia!!! I just opened your email to see the picture of the finished piece for my daughter...the tears flowed! Your work is a beautiful gift and is beyond my expectations. I cant thank you enough for your guidance from start to finish...and I can hardly wait for my daughter to open it on Christmas Eve. We will be face timing as she opens it! We will absolutely be in touch again!Thank you so, so much!Mary
We are giving my daughter a charm bracelet for graduation. The charms are supposed to represent special people and events in her live. While looking for the charms I found Formia. My husband was so excited. He always draws a little dog. He puts it on letters, cards and random notes and places. So he wanted to have a charm made of this little dog. So We submit our order online and also gave them a call. Then nervously waited. With in a short time it was at my door. I opened the box it was perfect! Exactly what we visioned. My husband couldnt be more happy. Its a charm that she can look at for the rest of her life and smile thinking of her dad. Thank you so much you made this 2020 Graduation extra special!
A holiday tradition! Mia always makes the magic come to life and the thoughtfulness brings tears of joy every single time. Almost time for another charm bracelet.
I am so happy with how my rings came back from Formia! 3 years ago when I was pregnant my hands swelled up terribly and I couldnt get one of my wedding rings off. My dad had to saw off my band! Both rings had been on so tight that I had a terrible rash on my finger for weeks, even after the rings were off. I researched jewelers in CVille and loved that I could email Mia pictures and details about my rings. She replied back quickly and even included a quote. I dropped them off at her studio - easy peasy! I just picked up my rings today, and she fixed the solitaire, soldered the one that was sawed in half, and resized both of them. They sparkle like they did 8 years ago! Great customer service, great craftsmanship, great lady, great prices.
Mia was great to work with on a custom ring for my wife. She provided great feedback and was very helpful with the design. The end result came out great!
Mia did an AMAZING job with a pair of rings I had, turning them into a beautiful pendant for my stepdaughter; a high school graduation gift for her, and a perfect way to remember her Mom :-)
I would recommend Formia Design without any hesitation. I waited MANY years to replace my original wedding rings, mainly because I could not find anything unique that I really liked until I found Mia at Formica Design. She was most helpful and created the most exquisite ring that was above and beyond what I had hoped for. Very talented artist - she will not disappoint!
Mia and her team are amazing. They have made birthdays and holidays truly special wiry their spot on rendering of my son’s artwork into beautiful jewelry. Fair prices too for precious keepsakes! Always on time and helpful.Mark Z
I had ordered a charm for my wife for Mothers Day. I had my son draw me 2 pictures, one of him and one of our dog. They were able to do both to one charm for me and also etch my sons writing of their names on the back. What a personalized gift. She has been begging me to get one made for her. She should be totally surprised. Everyone was great and the detail included everything my son drew. Shipping was quick also. Cant wait to see the expression on her face when she opens it. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
I sent in some photos of my daughters handwriting of her name to be transposed into a necklace design for my wife for Christmas. Formia Design had great customer service and very fast turn around to receive in time for Christmas. The design turned out great! Very appreciate of their work! Highly recommend!
Beautiful work, fantastic customer service, and quick turn around! Formia Design is everything a company should be. The people who work there were great about returning calls the same day I left a message, and worked with me to make a key chain within a week of Fathers Day that arrived on time, if not early. And the finished product itself exceeded my expectations - it was perfect, and a huge hit. The key chain was based off a drawing of my son and his father, with the word DAD cut out on his shirt. I loved it so much, I want to get one for me. I will definitely be ordering again, and have recommended Formia Design to others.
Love both pendants.....I can now wear memories of my two son’s drawings that they drew many years ago..Thanks so much!🤗
Mia is truly amazing. I had a vision for a pendant for my wife. I told Mia exactly what I wanted, including a written note from my son to my wife, which I wanted on the pendant. She turned my vision into a real thing that my wife absolutely loves. She created exactly what I wanted. Miais the best and I would definitely go back to her again.
Absolutely love Mias work!!! I first brought my curb bracelet to another goldsmith to take out one link, was advised that it was impossible to do so because of the structure of the bracelet. Mia not only did a perfect job taking out the link but also threw in a free polish. My bracelet looks amazing when I took it back, and I absolutely admire Mias work! Even the free polish is thorough to every corner of the bracelet! Will definitely go back for future works! Thanks so much!
Custom orders from Formia has been so amazing and above and beyond my expectations. I had ordered two silver necklace pendents for myself and my mom and was so happy with the results that I ordered a third. This third one is actually going to be in 14K gold and was so happy to know they do use gold too. I dont have it yet but I have no doubts it will be just as beautiful as the silver! I also found that if you have any questions regarding their product they are just a email away and respond within hours of sending your questions. I was also very happy with the time it took to make an order and have it shipped to me in a timely manner! I 100% recommend this product if you are looking for something personal. It may cost you more than the others but its well worth its weight in gold! No pun intended!
I was absolutely blown away when I received the custom pendant I had ordered for my wife on her birthday. I used handprints of our 2 young sons (one inside the other) and it came out absolutely amazing. Words cannot describe the look on her face when she opened up the box. She knows this is a one of a kind piece of jewelry. You cannot put a price on that!The entire process from start to finish was so easy. I sent my idea and within minutes had a response. I was very impressed with the timeliness of their response, but even more so with the attention I was given. You really feel like they care about what you are trying to do. Finally, the craftsmanship was outstanding. You can see the time and effort put into the design and production. I would absolutely recommend Formia to anyone looking to do something different.To quote the recipient of the gift The bar has been set, how can you top this?Thanks to Formia!
My husband had a bracelet made for me by Formia design as a Christmas gift. The two charms were created from the drawings of my five year old twins. I LOVE this bracelet and get comments on it all the time. It is by far my favorite gift. I hope to add two more charms to it this year! Thanks Mia!!
LOVE it! The key chain I had made looks exactly- EXACTLY- like my daughters drawing. I am very impressed! It came packaged beautifully, as well. I can not wait to give this gift! I will definitely be a repeat customer!
Mia is an amazing artist and a master craftsman, and has a very unique and special vision. Ive seen many pieces that shes done and Im always amazed at how she captures the heart and the essence of childrens drawings and not just the technical aspects. When I see a piece that shes done and the drawing that it came from, Im always amazed at how faithful the piece is to the drawing. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her work.
Joan was amazing. For my husbands birthday I wanted him to have something of our recently miscarried sons to carry with him. The final product of their footprints turned into keychains was perfect. Not only was Joan incredibly kind, but she managed to have it done and delivered just in time for his birthday. Thank you, the gift was perfect and my husband absolutely loved it.
Mia was very quick to respond to all my emails. The finished product, a key chain of a drawing my daughter did, was amazing!! The details were superb, packaging was great, and turnaround time was fast. I would highly recommend Formia Design for anyone looking for a unique gift!!
I am struggling to find the words. Mia fulfilled a decades long dream for me today. I am a science fiction/fantasy author. A special pendant is described in my books. It is an alien frog-like creature sitting on a leaf. Ive had a sketch of this pendant for many years and Ive wanted to have it made into a real pendant. Ive tried several times without success. Then, I saw a clip about Formia Design on I Want That. I was intrigued and wondered if they might be able to make this dream a reality for me.So, I contacted them. I wanted something slightly different than what they normally do. I wanted this piece to be layered so the creature is actually sitting on the leaf. We had some back and forth discussions about it and I put my trust in Mia.My pendant arrived earlier today. I cannot believe I am actually holding Vitoras pendant in my hand. It looks absolutely amazing - right down the the genuine emeralds in the eyes.Formia fulfilled a dream for me today and I couldnt not be happier.
My pendant safely arrived and there were definitely tears of happiness. Wow - Im completely blown away! I have done a lot of reviews since I started blogging but I have to say, none have had the kind of effect that this product has had on me. Im so very excited to share this with my readers, especially with Mothers Day coming up. This is without a doubt the most perfect gift for any Mom, in fact, I already told my husband he didnt need to get me anything for Mothers Day because no store bought gift could ever come close to topping this pendant. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will truly cherish this forever! -Blogger from Our Southern Style
Hi, Joan,Finally the gift arrived. The key chain looks exactly to our little daughters drawing and my wife is really happy with it.Thank you very much for your creative work.Best regards,Xavier
Uploaded my Granddaughters drawing for a key chain to Formia Design and quickly received an estimate. Just received the key chain in the mail today and it is beautiful and exceeds all my expectations. GREAT JOB Formia Design! Even though it is so close to Christmas, from the date ordered to delivery was only nine business days.
My daughter is going to LOVE her necklace. I cried when I opened the delivery and there is no doubt that she will shed tears also. My grandson is going to be so proud, seeing his mom wearing his art work. Wonderful job Formia Design !!!!
I ordered a keychain for my sister for her birthday, using one of my 6 year old nephews drawings. It was AMAZING! My sister absolutely adores it, and its something shell have forever. (Unlike the original drawing, which has not survived being in a house with an active 6 year old!)
My children created a drawing for their father this past Christmas that was rather complicated. Formia Design replicated it beautifully and exactly as my kids made it! The key ring is the perfect size without sacrificing detail :) Id highly recommend Formia to my friends and Ill be ordering again.
Wonderful service and execution! I asked them to replicate a paper ring my daughter made for me, and they were able to copy it precisely, and were communicative with me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them.
I had a keychain made for my husband of our sons first self portrait and it is AMAZING. Its honestly just the sweetest thing Ive ever seen and Im just waiting for my daughter to be old enough to draw so I can do the same with her first self portrait :)Thank you so much Mia!
Thanks so much for everything. My wife loves her new necklace. It was exactly what we were hoping for and something she will cherish forever. It was a pleasure to do business with you.
Second year in a row, best gift of the year! Great designs and super fast delivery. Thanks Mia!!!
I was really impressed with my experience with Formia Design. From the beginning of the transaction, there was a lot of communication. I sent them a drawing that my daughter made and had them create a keychain for my husband from it. The turn around time was very fast and the product was amazing! I couldnt believe that they were able to capture all of the detail from the original drawing. My husband says it was the best gift he had ever received. It really was a great experience and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for custom jewelry, keychains, etc.
I am so glad I used these fine ladies for my engagement ring. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. Being a young, sloppy bachelor type, I had no idea what I was looking for and was very afraid of being taken advantage of. I do computers and cars, not jewelry. My lady IS very special to me, and a little off the beaten path, so I really did not want to get her something that looks like it came from the mall (either of them, lol). Eventually I decided on Formia Design, based on a referral from one of my customers. I spoke with Mia and Joan for a few minutes on several occasions of the idea I had conjured up in my head, and they were able to hone in on an absolutely perfect design. After each sketch, I kept adding in little extra designs, stones, etched into what was ultimately a beautiful rose gold band. Im sure I drove her nuts, but Mia stuck with it and produced an absolutely AMAZING ring. I held onto it for an extra two months from the intended proposal date just so I could show people and brag about it. Email me for a picture-youll see that this is one-of-a-kind art, whether it is your style or not. The price was very fair I learned, after showing some of my friends who are more educated in the matter. Anyway, I highly recommend Formia Design for any of your jewelry needs. Whether its repairs, custom designs from your childs drawings, rings, gold, silver, diamonds, etc, you will be pleased. Dont lessen your choices or the quality by rushing in and out of a retail store-go here for the full-service intimate experience. Thanks again!
I couldnt be happier to write a review for Formia Design and the incredible people behind this company. I was looking to turn a drawing done by my son into a necklace for my wife and they could not have been more helpful in the process. This includes multiple and immediate e-mail or phone call responses to several questions I had. In fact they even called me to double check whether the subject of the drawing had his mouth opened or closed as it was not clearly apparent. That attention to detail says it all about their customer service, led by their incredibly warm and friendly office manager Joan.When the necklace arrived and I gave it to my wife she quickly had tears streaming down her cheeks. The look on her face was priceless and she made it clear this was one of the most thoughtful and wonderful gifts a woman could get. I couldnt agree more.Andy K.
From the beginning to the end part of this process....what an incredible experience. The end result was just perfect!
Had such a nice experience working with Mia, highly recommended!
I had an excellent experience with Formia, with prompt customer service and amazing design and work performed. I highly recommend them!
AMAZING! I contacted through Etsy, to have a keychain made. My husband had commented on how much he loved the idea. I was on a very tight time limit, which proved to be NO ISSUE! I had a beautiful keychain, made to perfection! Turn around time including shipping was 6 days! I was amazed at the customer service, the product, every little detail! I WILL be coming back for Christmas gifts, and am excited to work with Formia Design again! Thank you for a wonderful wonderful experience!
The gold one inch Vixen SBC pendant was even more beautiful than the picture. The craftmanship was exquisite, the gold reflects light beautifully, and this will be a signature piece of my jewelry wardrobe. They selected a perfect chain to hang it on, and followed my instructions about shipping to the letter, since I was going to be away and I worried about it arriving when I was not home, especially if it was sent via UPS or FEDEX. They used Priority mail with tracking, so I was able to home at lunch time when it was delivered. Will definitely consider buying from them again, and will heartily recommend this item to everyone I know among Sweet Briar people.
Expert, friendly, fairly-priced goldsmith repairs and Keeley design.
Great fast work! Thank you!!!
Friendly, helpful and professional people. They transform our childrens works of art into real jewels. Make them immortal!
