Stopped by here on my last day in Portugal looking for some jewelry/accessories that were a little nicer and more personalized than the generic cheap stuff that is sold in every single shop in town.

I chose one of the more expensive earrings because I fell in love with them. Beautiful design, high quality, unique. They stand behind their products and if there is a problem when I get home, I simply send back and they will repair. ...
