What is Filigree?

Portuguese Filigree is today an important part of Portuguese jewelry. It is a technique and an art form that, through a delicate union of wires and balls made on silver or gold, creates beautiful patterns in the manufacture of filigree jewelry with great precision and using manual tools and the use of heat. It is often referred to as Viana Filigree (Filigrana de Viana) because it is widely used to complement the regional costumes of girls and ladies in the region and today it is produced in the north of Portugal by artisans who have completed a long apprenticeship over many years.

It is much appreciated in Portugal and throughout the world for the delicacy and beauty of its pieces and the international recognition came mainly from the Heart of Viana Pendant (Coração de Viana), as it was used by Sharon Stone, at the time one of the world cinema stars.
