It was I who did it!

It is perhaps a little late to the party grandmothers, but not for Mother's Day!

The Swedish brand Formia Design proposes to transform any child's drawing into a beautiful jewel in silver.

The end collars noodles?

The "precious" drawings of our children

Written Federica 4 Comments

Mia Van Beek

 

Nt is not the first time in my wanderings online, I sometimes see Jewelry recalling the world of childhood.

These, however, I was struck immediately by how they are made.
Will be that Tita is exactly in this phase of artistic activity, that his designs are similar to those in picture .. anyway, I find these gems truly congenial to the spirit of childhood and an original idea for a gift to grandparents, to Mom and / or dad but also for the children themselves!
Introduces them Mia Van Beek in steel and Silver , Swedish transplanted in the United States, selling over Etsy but also Site where you can upload his own with a few clicks of the drawings your "painters" (as Tita would say) and get them directly home after 2 weeks of work.
This tells us Mia but it probably applies only to the American market, I believe that for the ships in Italy We want more time!
If you are interested try to ask info here!

Wear Your Child’s Artwork As Unique Jewelry

Visited 244 times, 25 so far today

dancersMany mothers know how uniquely hilarious and special their children’s early drawing can be. Now these images can be captured on one of a kind jewelry thanks to Formia Designs.

Artist and goldsmith, Mia Van Beek, is a Swedish born jewelry designer that has been creating one of a kind pieces for years. After achieving several degrees in jewelry and design, Van Beek began creating hand made pieces that earned her top recognition and praise. In 2004 she received the Best new designer of the year award at Stockholm jewelry show. That same year she created Formia Designs in Virginia, USA.

Van Beek became inspired by her own preschooler while trying to create a gift for her daughter’s teacher. Using her daughter’s own artwork, she created a unique gift. This one time inspiration has become the basis of a new and exciting jewelry line. All created from children’s artwork.

Parents can submit their children’s drawings and have them created into pendants, earrings, and keychain accessories. Instead of tossing out drawings, or collecting them in boxes, turning them into jewelry is a beautiful way to preserve those special memories. And children can feel incredibly proud that their artwork was turned into special jewelry. These can be the perfect gifts for parents, grandparents, teachers, and close friends.

The pieces by Van Beek can be a bit expensive. Some silver pendants cost more than $200. However, the price reflects the enormous amount of quality that is put into each handcrafted piece. Each piece of jewelry will become a special piece to be worn for years and years.
