Our Story
Mia Sophia Design was born in Florida as a heartfelt legacy for my twin daughters, Mia Elizabeth and Eliz Sophia. Created to honor their future, this brand is a reflection of love, heritage, and purpose—celebrating the beauty of womanhood, culture, and handmade artistry.
Along the way, I met Colombian designer Brenda Pavon, and what began as a professional collaboration blossomed into a meaningful friendship. Together, we discovered a shared Christian faith, a love for family, and a passion for our Hispanic traditions.
At Mia Sophia Design, we craft our jewelry in small batches using 24KT gold or rhodium over bronze, combining timeless elegance with a bohemian soul. But our mission goes beyond beauty.
A portion of every sale helps support local shelters—providing essentials for homeless mothers in our community. We are also passionate about expanding our giving to support missionaries around the world who are spreading the gospel and offering food, clothing, and care to those in need.
Because we believe that when women support women—and when faith leads the way—jewelry becomes more than adornment. It becomes a legacy of love, hope, and purpose.
Blessings always,
- Liz Marie Cancel, Founder ☺️
