driven by passion

 

Cris Maria Jewelry is a Portuguese designer jewelry brand created by me, Cristina Costa.

I'm from Lisbon, I'm a geological engineer by training and I've always had a passion for rings.

The curiosity of trying to understand how they were made and the desire to discover led me to the world of jewelry.

"I like what is simple and beautiful. Silver has always been my metal of choice and since I learned how to work with it, it's through it that I give shape to what's in my soul and makes me feel alive."

For me, creating is a way of communicating, from the inside out, of crossing my story with the story of my clients, creating timeless experiences and moments.

Nature is my main source of inspiration and I also like to combine it with elements based on art and world cultures.

I love working with rough surfaces and transforming them into delicate and elegant pieces, exploring textures and contrasts between the shine of polished and the matt of satin finishes.

The social sustainability of production processes and responsible consumption are part of the concerns and objectives I have for the future of the brand, which as of 2017 has become one of my life projects.

"I create collections that are intended to be versatile and timeless, to be worn over time and not by seasons"

I have my atelier-shop in Alfama, located in the heart of Lisbon, from where pieces go all over the country and the world. Every year, many people stop by and buy my pieces, and their stories and experiences also play a part in building the brand's inspirations.

I find this exchange very enriching as a person and as the creator that I am.

Thank you to all our customers, partners and friends!

Love,
Cris
