Formia Designs

Prepare to wow her with this gift! The chance to give her something no one else can, a way to turn her child’s treasured artwork into jewellery. Transforming your own child’s artwork into precious metal keepsakes including necklaces, charms, keychains, Christmas ornaments and more.  I had a piece made for myself, a key chain.  The process from artwork to keepsake is easy for the customer.  How is it done?  I simply sent off pictures of drawings my girls did when they were little.  These drawings were combined into one piece and I was consulted with to see if I approved of the idea.  I did.  When my beautiful, one of kind piece, arrived, I may have teared up just a little.  Okay, maybe more than a little.  I’m officially crushing on a keychain.  My daughters artwork forever protected like this?  I was overcome with joy.  What an incredible way to preserve some of your very favourite artwork!  My next challenge, which artwork to transform next.
