Lugar da Jóia project started long before the opening of its first commercial space. Its founder, António Miranda, began his professional activity as an apprentice, eventually starting to set up his own jewelry production, import and distribution company. The first Lugar da Jóia establishment was created in 2006 as a project aimed at a young middle and upper class audience and intended to represent a breath of fresh air in the national jewelry and traditional watch market traditionally associated with the high class.

Founded in 1928, Pedro A. Baptista is distinguished by gold and silver jewelery, with its own design and execution by hand, guaranteeing the quality and prestige that characterizes it. This establishment was founded by António Dias Ribeiro Gasparinho Júnior, a merchant who stands out for his creativity, making him one of the most respected goldsmiths in the country. In 1928 the company is acquired by Pedro A. Batista who continues this prestigious goldsmith. This entrepreneur gave the space more refinement and kept the good taste in the pieces. To this fact contributed greatly the creative capacity of his brother-in-law, architect Fernando Bastos Monteiro.
