THE HOUSE OF FILIGREE WAS BORN TO SAVE HANDMADE FILIGREE

The House of Filigree project was established by Luísa and Pedro Rosas. Their passion for delicate and carefully crafted jewellery runs in the family: they are the children of Maria Luísa and David Rosas, founder of the fine jewellery and luxury watches company that bears their name, and belong to the fifth generation of a family with links to goldsmithery since the mid-19th century. Two of Luísa and Pedro's great-grandfathers founded two of the most important filigree workshops in Portugal. Nowadays, the current generation is committed to preserving this ancient technique.

HOW CAN WE DEFEND A HERITAGE IF WE DON'T KNOW IT?

Only when we know what the filigree technique really is can we give value to hand-made pieces and defend those who produce them. This is the model of economic sustainability and cultural heritage that we believe in, because we know that the value of an original, unique and unrepeatable piece cannot be the same as that of a mould-made replica. It is only fair, that creativity, skill, time and perfection are attributed value. Same as the value of a painting is higher than that of a print. The former is called art, the latter is called a copy.

100% LOCAL, 100% ALIVE AND 100% HUMAN FILIGREE

In an effort to encourage sustainability and cultural diversity, the House of Filigree relies on partnerships with small workshops, where the best artisans keep tradition and ancestral knowledge alive.
