Product Description:
Not all jewelry tells a story. This one carries centuries of one.
The Colar Coração de Viana is rooted in one of Portugal's most treasured art forms — traditional filigree. Each pendant is individually handmade by skilled artisans in Portugal, who transform fine threads of 925 sterling silver into an intricate, lace-like structure that is at once featherlight and remarkably enduring. No two pendants are exactly alike. That's the nature of something truly made by hand.
The Coração de Viana — Heart of Viana — is one of the most iconic and beloved symbols in Portuguese culture. Originating from the goldsmithing traditions of the Minho region in northern Portugal, this distinctive heart shape has for centuries represented love, devotion, and cultural pride. It is jewelry with meaning, worn close to the heart in every sense.
At 1.1" × 0.7", this pendant is intentionally petite — the kind of piece that draws people closer to appreciate it. Its small scale is not a limitation; it is the point. The intricate openwork filigree — each tiny loop and curl placed entirely by hand — becomes all the more astonishing when you consider how much artistry has been compressed into something so delicate. It sits at the collarbone with quiet presence, layering beautifully on its own or alongside other pieces, effortlessly moving from morning to evening without ever needing to be reconsidered.
The 15.7" chain with a 1.9" adjustable extension ensures a comfortable, customizable fit, while the lightweight construction means you'll forget you're wearing it — until someone asks where it's from.
Finished with a rich gold coating applied in 9K and 19K gold, the result is a radiant, enduring glow — a reflection of the craft and care that has gone into every single piece.
