This thread will be interestingI should have started this thread earlier. I fly to Lisbon tomorrow, but should be able to see responses over the next month. My flight home is June 1 and my 7th wedding anniversary is the day before, May 31. I would like to buy some traditional Portuguese jewelry for my wife (or not come home!). I'm in Lisbon the last 2 days and would buy it before flying back. No earrings. Necklace, broach, bracelets are possible. Nothing Camino specific (since she did not walk it). Not worrying about price right now, but let's keep it realistic. OK Camino women - what should I buy?
hm ... never even noticed particular portuguese jewelry. in the northern parts you might find items w/ some celtic influences.I should have started this thread earlier.

It's a brave man who thinks he can buy underwear that his wife will actual like.
Jose, I might forget, so tell Natercia I want to look at this too. lol OHMG only 63 more days... So excited. Hugs to the both of you. Ingrid100% Portuguese jewelry seen nowhere else is filigree. The portuguese word is filigrana.
But you can loose your head (and all your money) in the fancy jewelry shops Lisbon downtown.
The hearth of Viana (Coração de Viana) is a very known design, but there's much more options.
You can google "filigrana" pictures.
So, I live in Lisboa, my wife loves filigree, call her and she will be delighted to help you choose. She is the one answering the SOS Pilgrim's phone of the portuguese association Via Lusitana, (+351) 915 595 213. You can say you're a pilgrim in trouble, and it seems you will be if you return home empty hands
This is Sharon Stone with a oversized Hearth of Viana.

Oh my word that is absolutely beautiful! Now I want to go jewelry shopping...lolI just love this one
ME TOO!I just love this one
OK - I had intended to post this last year after returning home, but better late than never. Here is a photo of the Heart of Viana filigree necklace I purchased in Lisbon. It's modeled by my wife who was very pleased to receive it.
And when will you be here again?Absolutely beautiful, Steve. Much prettier than the one Sharon Stone was wearing, IMO. You don't by any chance remember the name of the store where you bought it, do you? I go to Lisbon every year and wouldn't mind stopping by......
And when will you be here again?
