The complex filigree jewelry of gold and diamonds by Eleuterio, a Portuguese brand That uses this technique goldsmith antique.
Around the World on the watermark. It’s something like this the story of Eleuterio, a brand born in Portugal in 1925 by Eleuterio Antunes. The filigree technique is ancient and difficult: to maintain this tradition goldsmith, especially at a high level, as in the case of Eleuterio is even commendable. The goldsmith filigree technique originated over 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, where the ancient Sumerians wove the golden threads to realize complex and light fabrics and jewelry. From the Middle East, by sea, this way of interpreting the jewelry came up on Portuguese coast and is now kept alive by two grandsons of the founder, Luis Antunes, and the creative director Rosa Antunes. Thin wires like hair intertwine to form bracelets, pendants and rings. The jewelry can remember certain complex geometric patterns of the Arab cultures, but Also flowers and figures. Among other things, Eleuterio jewels in 2016 have had a place of honor to the sophisticated Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève: especially the Couture collection, with a necklace made with 177 diamonds. As well as in Portugal, the brand is present Also in Russia. Lavinia Andorno
