Working from her studio in Hoxton, East London, Mia Krstic crafts distinctive
fine and fashion jewellery pieces which create a sense of balance, harmony and power.

These wearable-art pieces are enjoyed by an eclectic, global and ever-growing
fanbase. High-profile enthusiasts of designs created by Mia over the years
include Thandi Newton, Rihanna, Beverley Knight,
Paloma Faith and Michelle Obama.

Originally hailing from Belgrade, Serbia, before settling in London, Mia has a
rich history as a designer and maker, spanning across two decades. Initially
training to degree-level in Theatre Design, she subsequently forged a career in
costume and fashion jewellery, as a Senior Designer for Erickson Beamon for 14
years. Following this, Mia launched the London-based Heiter Jewellery line in
2014 - producing both costume and fine jewellery, which seamlessly feed into
one another, with subsequent collections referencing inspirations from film and
art shown seasonally during Paris Fashion Week.

She has also undertaken freelance collaborations with iconic brands
including Swarovski, Topshop (Mia made all the jewellery for the Topshop
Unique show in 2016), as well as Burberry, creating unforgettable couture
capes for the luxury British fashion house in 2017.
In 2020, Mia was offered a place on the MA Ceramics, Furniture and Jewellery
course at Central Saint Martins. During her time at the prestigious institution,
from which she successfully graduated in 2022, she further-honed her
approach to design, focusing on fine jewellery and
producing a remarkable graduate collection which drew inspiration from
cinnamon sticks as a symbol of the tree of life.

Mia’s passion for travel, natural environments and varied landscapes – the
dramatic expanse of the North African desert, the bustle of Bangkok, or the
calm of the Komodo sea – imbues her jewellery with delicately tactile and
textural qualities.

She carefully sources traceable gemstones from the far-flung locations
encountered during these regular journeys as well as hand crafted beads for
her practice . Hand carved wax and precious metals feature within her design
practice, reinforcing the human touch and relationship with nature which
characterise Mia’s work, resulting in subtly sculptural pieces
infused with emotion and adventure.
