Product Info

Handmade with love, it's perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your everyday.

Drawing inspiration from elegant Portuguese Filigree, this necklace is expertly crafted, with durable stainless steel, perfect for everyday wear.

The Heart of Viana, a symbol of Viana do Castelo, first appeared in Portugal during the 18th century with the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is now a cherished and renowned part of Portugal's filigree art and heritage, recognized globally.

Originally created as a religious symbol of God's boundless love, it was initially worn around the neck, near the heart. Over time, this sacred image evolved into a symbol of love between two individuals and was also incorporated into other forms of jewelry, such as earrings and rings.

A bit of history: According to some writers, Queen Maria I was among the first to promote the usage of this symbol, but its popularity grew during the 19th century among the affluent women of the middle-class families in Viana do Castelo. However, its name may be deceiving, as the Heart of Viana was and still is created outside of Viana do Castelo, where many goldsmith workshops are located. Therefore, the city of Viana has become associated with this piece, which has become an essential accessory in the Pilgrimages of Our Lady of Agony, adorning the chests of those who take part in them.

Gold plated Stainless Steel charm and chain. Made to last with waterproof and anti-tarnish properties, this necklace will keep its shine for years to come.

This beautiful bauble could make a stunning present for a mother, companion, confidante, sibling, and so forth. A timeless piece of jewelry that can be admired for years to come, our jewelry is a meaningful and lasting gift for any special someone.

Chain size: 18 inches (45cm) necklace + 5cm extender | Charms size: 25mm
