Portuguese filigree survived the global crisis when the jewellery industry was in decline. In those difficult times, the number of orders decreased so much that many craftsmen had to leave the industry.
Only passion can explain how the filigree technique has survived in the municipality of Gondomar since the 18th century and continues to be one of the driving sectors of the local economy.
The difficult period is now behind us. Portuguese filigree is growing in popularity. There are more and more connoisseurs of this art.
The industry is lacking specialists.
