Crafting Timeless Beauty
At Elements 75'80 , jewelry is much more than a craft; it's heritage , passion , and an expression of identity . Nuno and Marco dos Santos, influenced by their family heritage from an early age, naturally developed a unique taste for one of the most beautiful decorative arts: jewelry. Guided by an insatiable curiosity and a profound respect for detail, they pursued training at the world's leading gemological institutes, such as the GIA in the United States and the HRD in Belgium, where they deepened their technical knowledge and reinforced their commitment to excellence.
They were pioneers in Portugal in the democratization and appreciation of design in jewelry by founding the "Elements" jewelry stores, stores with a gallery soul, which gave space and visibility to the creativity and rebellious minds of renowned international jewelers who joined them.
The microcosm of precious stones is their favorite territory, and it was natural that they began creating their own jewelry, which seeks to achieve the perfect symbiosis between the best that Nature offers us and human ingenuity.
What we like to call, Art .
