My name is Santa Mieriiga, and I am a passionate self-taught beading artist based in Riga, Latvia with over 15 years of experience. My journey with beading took a special turn four years ago when my beloved corgi, Luna, joined my family. She was the inspiration behind my very first pet-themed brooch, and since then my work is dedicated to those who want to celebrate the life of their pets or hold onto the memory of a furry friend who has crossed the rainbow bridge.

What sets my work apart is that I don’t just create generic representations of dogs, cats, or other animals - I create a portrait of your pet. Every brooch is custom-made to reflect the individual personality, appearance, and spirit of the pet you love. Whether it's the distinctive markings on your cat’s fur, playful tilt of your dog’s ears, I strive to capture those special traits that make your pet truly one-of-a-kind.
