OURIVESARIA TAVARES
DISCOVER THE GOLDSMITHERY’S ETERNAL VALUE
OF FUSING TRADITION WITH INNOVATION
Established in 1922, Ourivesaria Tavares is one of the most presti-
gious goldsmithery factories in Portugal, based in Póvoa do Varzim.
They are best known for creating jewellery and sacred art pieces
that amalgamate an unrivalled level of tradition and innovation.
In all of their creations, they focus on using only the best mate-
rials and techniques while always paying maximum attention
to details. Their collections of jewellery are simply exceptional
where GIA-certified diamonds and other precious stones take the
spotlight. Ourivesaria Tavares’ commitment to the construction
of an innovative future has granted them a unique distinction
among the artistic community of the city back in 2016.
Luxury and craftsmanship are two terms that have been always
associated to the outstanding work of Ourivesaria Tavares and
according to Carlos Tavares, “luxury results from the value of
the materials used, especially, the valued added by the artisan. In
light of such, we have accepted - throughout almost 100 years -
challenges proposed by our clients to develop unique pieces with
exclusive and personalised details. Craftsmanship is, therefore,
the assumption of luxury in all of our pieces”.
Many of their pieces are inspired by the rich history of Portugal,
such as the “Baixela Portugália”, an hand-carved design where
each piece has the coat of arms of D. Carlos. Another prime ex-
ample is “Siglas Poveiras” a unique silver collection where graph-
ics were applied to each piece in a representation of the fishing
families that would use these elements to highlight maritime
and homemade objects.
