The "Viana's Heart" is a distinctive piece of jewelry originating from Portugal, specifically known for its intricate design and craftsmanship. This particular piece is crafted from 19 karat yellow gold, showcasing a rich and warm hue that adds to its elegance. The standout feature of the jewelry is its filigree work, a delicate and ornamental technique involving the use of fine, twisted threads of gold. Filigree is a traditional art form in Portuguese jewelry, and it involves skillful manipulation of the precious metal to create lace-like patterns and openwork designs. In Portugal, the Heart of Viana has a religious origin. It appeared in the 18th century with the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Beyond its religious connotation, today it symbolizes life, love, fraternity, friendship and universal love. Although it is called "Coração de Viana", named after the city of Viana do Castelo (Northern Portugal), it is rather from the Minho region. In the form of pendants or earrings, these filigree Viana Hearts are worn by the women of the region (the Minhotas) with great pride. Viana's hearts (In Portuguese: Coração De Viana) are a lucky charm for brides who pass it on from mother to daughter. Their amazing modernity is linked to this reverse curve which gives them a very particular elegance. Overall, the "Viana's Heart" in 19 karat yellow gold with filigree work is likely to be a cherished and culturally meaningful piece of jewelry, representing both the skill of the artisan and the traditional artistry of Portuguese craftsmanship.
