In the world of sustainable fine jewellery, Matilde Mourinho, daughter of famous Portuguese football coach José Mourinho, is redefining the jewellery industry with its eco-conscious approach and beautiful designs. Founded in London in 2020, the jewellery designer’s mission is to blend 21st-century values with traditional craftsmanship by using only the finest recycled 14k gold and lab grown diamonds.
José Mourinho as one of the biggest supporters
Matilde Jewellery offers a range of stunning pieces which also includes a line for men (launched in 2021). Each item, from rings and necklaces to earrings and bracelets, is crafted from recycled 14k gold and studded with lab-grown diamonds.
Even her father José Mourinho, former head coach of AS Roma in Italy, has been seen wearing these pieces during football matches. On top, Mourinho himself is one of the biggest supporters of Matilde Jewellery on Instagram and comments almost under every post of the growing brand.
Mission of modern sustainability
The brand’s mission is to bring contemporary values to the forefront of jewellery making. By focusing on quality and sustainability, Matilde Jewellery provides clients with the opportunity to wear not just beautiful jewellery, but pieces with a meaningful story. Their commitment to use only recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds ensures that each piece is as responsible as it is radiant.
Inspired by Portuguese summers
The Tróia collection draws inspiration from Matilde’s childhood memories of Portuguese summers spent in Tróia. Each piece in this collection, from the Mar and Areia necklaces to earrings and rings, embodies the natural beauty of the Portuguese coastline.
The use of green elements like lab-grown sapphires and natural crystal beads adds a unique touch, which makes each item a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Celestial elegance from Matilde Jewellery
The latest Eclipse collection from Matilde Jewellery launched online in November 2023 and is a testament to sustainable luxury. Inspired by celestial shapes and the eternal elegance of the cosmos, each piece in this collection is a blend of modern design and fine craftsmanship.
The Eclipse Collection is also made from their signature 14k recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds and symbolizes the brand’s dedication to sustainable and modern luxury.
A sustainable future in jewellery
Matilde Jewellery stands as a shining example of how fashion and sustainability can coexist. Winning the Revelation Jewellery Brand of the Year award in 2021, the brand continues to expand its collection and proves that luxury and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. With collections like Tróia and Eclipse, Matilde Jewellery invites us to celebrate the beauty of our world while preserving it for future generations. We can only hope that one day Matilde Jewellery will further root its presence in Portugal with a dedicated store promising a new chapter of sustainable elegance!
