Located in downtown Porto, Ourivesaria Brilhante is currently one of the Portuguese official licensed evaluators. It features a vast collection of gold and silver jewelery and decorative items.

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.
