Working with Mia on my engagement ring design was an absolute pleasure! She somehow managed to capture the image in my... head and make it even better and I know this is going to be something I cherish for the rest of my life! If you’re looking for a unique and special jewelry piece I cannot imagine there is anyone better in or around Charlottesville! Thank you for everything Mia and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough!read more

Mia is a ring sizing genius!Three jewelers told me it couldn't be done - she did it and it's perfect.Her space is... beatiful, she is incredibly kind and personal, and her jewelry is stunning. She also made my friend's engagement ring - very unique, and the care that went into the design and craftsmanship is evident.read more

I recently asked Formia Design to design a custom pendant for me. Since I am Norwegian, I wanted a Viking design. Mia... Van Beek not only met my expectations, she exceeded my expectations 100 percent. The design was spot on, and the details were just stunning. I will definitely go back, and I will refer all of my friends her way. Awesome Job!read more

Mia was so sweet and helpful from the very first consultation. She took all of my ideas with my grandma's diamonds and... combined them into the most beautiful engagement ring I ever imagined. She even finished ahead of schedule which was an amazing surprise! If you're looking to have a unique design that is your own, Formia Design is the place to go and very trustworthy.read more

Absolutely amazing and so kind to work with. I went to multiple jewelers to see if they could resize my ring with a... complex design and they all turned me down except for Formia Design! And she did an amazing job. I will be coming definitely come back for more custom jewelry! Thank you thank you!read more

I worked with Mia to redesign my wedding/engagement rings. The whole process from the initial appointment to final... pickup could not have been smoother. Mia was completely transparent about pricing and presented me with wonderful options for the ring design. The end result surpassed my expectations. I could not be happier. I have received many compliments and would recommend Mia to anyone looking for something truly special.read more

Mia is very talented. She has made amazing pieces for me to gift my wife. I most recently returned for a second... Valentine’s Day to have a second set of charms added to my wife’s bracelet. The first set of charms were recreations of our children's art and the second set are profiles of our children. Thank you Mia!read more

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.

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!read more

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!read more

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.read more

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 father's 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 dad's 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 customer's needs and take our basic ideas and create something beautiful. would definitely work with her again.read more

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 couldn't 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!read more

I absolutely adore my necklace! My grand-niece had hand drawn my birthday card for my 60th. Mia took a not so great... photo and turned into an exact replica. I'm proud to wear it, my grand-niece thought it was the best thing ever, and I can pass it down to her when she gets older.read more
