Cláudia Soares, the owner, has always worked in the goldsmithery/watchmaking area. After many years of experience she decided to open her own space. In January 2020 she acquired this establishment and decided to do some work in order to receive her clients in a modern and welcoming space, barely knowing that a pandemic would delay its opening. However, it opened its doors to the public on July 1st, with a varied offer in silver, gold, steel and watches. The bet is clear: always try to have the latest trends in the area, with refinement and with affordable and competitive prices. There is a clear bet on personalised service because, as the owner says, captivating customers “is part of my day to day”.

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.
