Since 1880 Machado Joalheiro has been dedicated to much more than jewelry. In this family business, passed down from generation to generation, each piece of this jewelery founded in Porto is a celebration of luxury and elegance. It is the statement that modernity and tradition complement each other, and that the passion for detail and commitment to excellence can be passed down from generation to generation. From the most prestigious international watch and jewelery brands, to the contemporary and sophisticated own collections of jewelery, there is a trait common to all Machado Joalheiro pieces: the assurance of the highest quality and the guarantee that every choice will be the best way to celebrate. unique moments.

For many the oldest goldsmith in the city, what is certain is that the Coutinho Goldsmith was born in 1859, belongs to the same family since 1919, and has stories to tell that no other Porto remember. There were 37 goldsmiths in this area, being inserted in a bourgeois area, and today few remain. Inside we can find gold, silver and filigree, such as Viana’s hearts, cutlery, clocks, among others. Being in an area with high tourist incidence, it ends up having as clients many of these foreign passersby, but also keeping whole families who continue to shop here.

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”.
