Portuguese Filigree
The Heart of Fado Jewels
At Fado Jewels, we believe jewelry is more than adornment — it is memory, tradition, and connection.
Our pieces are born from the centuries-old Portuguese art of filigree, where thin strands of gold and silver are twisted, coiled, and soldered into breathtaking lace-like designs. Each jewel is a testament to patience, artistry, and heritage.
We honor this legacy by reimagining traditional designs — the Heart of Viana, the Queen Earrings, the sacred Our Lady of Fátima pendants — for women who value craftsmanship, meaning, and timeless beauty.
What Filigree Represents
Portuguese filigree is not only jewelry — it is an emotional symbol. For centuries, it has celebrated faith, love, protection, and identity.
- The Heart of Viana symbolizes love and devotion.
- The Our Lady of Fátima pendants remind us of faith and protection.
- The Viana beads celebrate femininity and tradition.
Every design carries the weight of stories told through generations. By wearing Fado Jewels, you carry this heritage forward.
Handmade, Sustainable and Authentic
Our jewels are made by skilled artisans in Portugal, following the same techniques that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
We work with sterling silver, gold-plated silver, and 19.2K Portuguese gold, all hallmarked and certified by the official Contrastaria Portuguesa.
Each piece is handmade using recycled metals, supporting sustainability without compromising on quality.
Because every jewel is handwoven and carefully polished, no two pieces are exactly the same — making yours truly unique.
Why Fado Jewels?
We created Fado Jewels to give Portuguese heritage a voice beyond borders. Our goal is to bring the beauty of filigree to women across the United States and worldwide — especially those who feel a connection to their roots or who admire authentic, sustainable luxury.
Whether it is a gift, a family heirloom, or a statement of your individuality, our jewels are bridges between the past and the present.
