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.

Tincal Lab is a contemporary jewellery shop and atelier space founded by Ana Pina. As the showroom of the brand it is possible to contact the artist directly, see her work live and get to know the space where the jewellery is created. Under the motto “curatorship and experimentation in contemporary jewellery”, regular collaborations and events are launched which help to promote and energise this creative area, such as workshops with guest jewellers, individual and collective exhibitions, by local and international artists. There is the possibility of monthly or punctual occupation, for artists looking for a specialised, inspiring and central workspace.

The owner of Antoniu’s Jewelers is a deep gemstone connoisseur who, before opening his own establishment, already had enormous experience in this area. For example, he worked at two major jewelry chains and attended the famous Frankfurt Fair.
In this space, which has been serving the public for over 30 years, the client can find a careful but wide selection of jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings and rings in gold and silver, as well as decoration pieces. Visitors can also draw on the experience gained over the years by the owner of this establishment to advise them on the best way to make sure that their demand is matched.
