Arlindo Moura

It is in the workshop that once belonged to his grandfather that Arlindo feels whole. The late afternoon sun streams through the windowpanes as if they weren’t there, casting a poetic, almost mystical glow over the rich brown tones of the wooden benches and worktables. It’s as if his grandfather were still there, hunched over in his corner, meticulously crafting filigree, lost in the precision of his art.

J. Soares

Adelino Soares has filigree in his genes. He studied jewelry making simply because it felt right, and in his first year, he chose his path. He would be an artisan, letting his hands be his tools. Nothing fascinated him more than his mother’s hands—worn by time and labor, yet capable of creating wonders.

Eugénia Seixas

There’s something both heroic and unconventional about Eugénia’s personality. But then… well, at heart, she’s quite down-to-earth. The world is a noisy, contradictory, and chaotic place. “Where do I find inspiration? In the sea.” It’s the sea that shapes the waves in her mind—the same curves that filigree will take in her jewelry. By the time her pencil touches paper, the sea has already spoken. Boldness is her signature.

And she embraced it with the determination of someone ready to write a new chapter in the family’s story. Now, as the sixth generation takes shape, she ensures the legacy will live on—refined by time, woven into delicate filigree.

António Martins Castro & Filhos

António’s story is one of constant new beginnings. After his days as a sailor, he devoted himself to something greater than himself—his craft. “Filigree is my life,” he never tires of saying. In his workshop, intricate Caravels, Naus, and Rabelo boats take shape, masterfully crafted from fine twisted and beaten gold wires. Their structures are filled with delicate cornucopias, spirals, granules, and rosettes. The sea is still there—but in filigree.

Abel Armando Silva

Rosa has been an artisan for as long as she can remember. On the wall of her workshop hangs a memory of her father Abel’s portrait. In her heart, countless others. Outside, the church bells ring, calling Rosa to mass. She carries with her the filigree rosary that once belonged to her mother, passing the Viana beads through her fingers, following the rhythm of prayer. And of the heart.
