About Mia Krstic

Working from her studio in Hoxton, East London, since 1997, Mia Krstic crafts distinctive fine jewellery which creates 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 20 years, working closely with the brand’s founder, Vicki Sarge.

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 fine jewellery with delicately tactile and textural qualities. She carefully sources traceable gemstones from the far-flung locations encountered during these regular journeys, favouring coloured Sapphires and Tourmalines as opposed to diamonds. 

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.
