Bling You Can Brag About

Formia Design

How do we put this gently? So far the doodles have been, well, disappointing. A Pollock imitation one day. A Twombly wannabe the next. But what have we here? A head. Two eyes. A body even!

That’s right. It’s baby’s first figurative drawing – and you couldn’t be any prouder if she’d won that Baby Gap casting call!

So what now? Framing is a given, but there must be something else you can do to commemorate this momentous milestone.

Ooh, we  know! Why don’t you turn that drawing into an heirloom-quality charm that you can wear forever? At Formia Design, master goldsmith Mia van Beek turns children’s artwork into gold, titanium and silver charms and keychains.

So next time someone likes your necklace, you can say, “Thanks! Actually, my three-year-old designed it.”

Go ahead. You know you want to.
