Portuguese filigree shines again at one of the most symbolic moments in the country's history

Three Hearts of Viana adorned the dress of the wife of Portugal's new President António José Seguro on the day of his inauguration on March 9, 2026.

The filigree Hearts of Viana is an iconic Portuguese piece of jewelry, one of the most recognizable in European jewelry. It is a symbol of love, faith, and identity.

The president was accompanied to the inauguration ceremony by his family—his wife and two children. They arrived at Belém Palace hand in hand. Three Hearts of Viana adorned the dress of Margarida Maldonado Freitas, the president's wife.

We applaud Margarida Maldonado Freitas for this elegant and bold way in which she introduced the art of Portuguese filigree to the world.
