The Municipalities of Gondomar and Póvoa de Lanhoso, the two main centers of excellence for Portuguese Filigree production, will present, on the upcoming 12th at 5 pm, at the Pousada do Porto, Hotel Palácio do Freixo, the certification of the product “Filigrana de Portugal”.

The “Filigrana de Portugal” – a product that aims to preserve the core characteristics of an autonomous artisanal production within Portuguese goldsmithing – will necessarily be hallmarked. In addition, each goldsmith must have a punch with the certification mark to stamp on the piece and that, together with a label, identifies it as “Filigrana de Portugal”, a certified traditional artisanal technique.

The specification book for the certification of “Filigrana de Portugal” was established by Adere-Minho – Association for the Regional Development of Minho, the only certification body in Portugal for traditional (non-food) artisanal productions.
