AN EARLY INNOVATOR & EXPLORER

Throughout her career, Paula Vieira has always strived for innovation in her work. During her education, Paula was inspired and encouraged by her masters at the Contacto Directo School in Lisbon to think not just about what already exists, but to imagine what could be. This set her on a path of obsessive experimentation into new contemporary jewellery techniques and unique inspirations. Working with internationally renowned jewellers such as Otto Künzli, Robert Smit and Harold O'Connor further fuelled her passion and would change her life in design forever. The Studio, her Artistic Laboratory In 1998 Paula Vieira founded her own jewellery brand, and opened a studio in Porto, where she lived at that time. Upon its creation, Paula soon ceased to create for other brands and focused her whole heart on her own designs. In addition to an extensive collection of unique gold pieces, Paula Vieira successfully developed silver pieces with small gold details, giving them a unique perceptive value at the time. After some years Paula began to feel the longing (saudade) for her place of birth, and so she hitched up her studio and travelled back down to Lisbon - a move which would bring about her greatest period of experimentation into new materials and never seen techniques.

ALWAYS HANDCRAFTED, ALWAYS UNIQUE
