Joana is an artist, she makes jewellery from recycled items she finds, like a scarf from an old tie with some golden bits, and even earrings from orange peels. I buy a lot of gifts from her because the pieces are original, affordable, and she doesn't make two pieces in the same design. She also repaired my broken golden collar and gave it a new life, and I thought that was cheap. She is a very creative person, very kind and gentle, and I think she is a real artist.

A friend introduced me to Joana’s shop a few years ago, and since then we have bought several things there, especially with my husband. He showed her photos of a ring and a bracelet, and she reproduced them, and really, it could not have been better. Her jewelry is very beautiful and very original, the materials are eco friendly, and she is serious, available, and a very good person. We have nothing to say but good things about her work, and the price felt very good for what we got.

Joana is very creative, every time I go to her shop there is new jewelry, with different colors, shapes, and materials, and it is always special. I also had old inherited jewelry with a lot of emotional value, and she transformed it into new, modern pieces that are very unique and very special for me. When I want to buy jewelry, it is my place. It is not cheap, but the quality has a price, and the pieces are different.
How much do jewelers cost in Lisbon?
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted jewelers actually do. Updated July 2026
Custom jewellery design
How much does custom jewellery design cost in Lisbon?
Fixando puts a custom-made piece in Lisbon between €50 and €500, with an average around €275 and workshop time at about €30 an hour. The metal and any stones are what move the price, so a silver pendant sits at the low end and a gold ring with a stone can go past the top of that range. Bring a sketch or a photo, ask for a quote that separates design, labour and materials, and ask about the hallmark, the small contrastaria stamp Portuguese jewellers put on gold and silver.
Simple custom piece, low end
from €50
Typical commission, Lisbon average
around €275
Fuller piece in gold or with stones
up to €500 and beyond
Design and workshop time
around €30 an hour
Engagement and wedding rings
How much do engagement and wedding rings cost in Lisbon?
Wedding jewellers in Lisbon list starting prices from about €40 to €180 on casamentos.pt, and that floor buys you the simplest bands. Anything with a diamond or a coloured stone is quoted on request, since the stone decides most of the price, so ask for the quote in writing with the carat, cut and metal spelled out. Try the bands on in person (width and profile change the comfort a lot), and ask whether engraving is included, some shops throw it in on bands bought there.

Matching pair made to order
quoted after a consultation
Jewellery remodelling
How much does it cost to remodel a piece of jewellery in Lisbon?
Turning an old family piece into something you'll actually wear is quoted case by case in Lisbon, since it depends on how much of your own gold and stones can be reused and how far the new design goes. As a guide, Fixando's range for custom jewellery work in the city is €50 to €500, and a remodel is priced much like a commission. Get the quote in writing, ask what happens to any leftover metal, and have the stones photographed before they come out of the old setting.
Small rework (new setting, stone reset)
quoted after a look at the piece
Full redesign using your own gold and stones
quoted case by case
Custom work in Lisbon, as a reference
€50 to €500
Cleaning and restoring
How much does it cost to clean or restore jewellery in Lisbon?
Lisbon workshops quote cleaning and restoration case by case, since it depends on the metal, the finish you want (a polish, a rhodium or gold re-plate, a pearl restring) and how worn the piece is. None of the shops we read publish a price list for it, so send a clear photo or drop in, and get the quote in writing before you leave the piece. Ask whether the shop has its own workshop or sends pieces out, it changes the wait and sometimes the price.
Clean and polish, gold or silver piece
quoted after a look at the piece
Rhodium or gold re-plating
quoted by piece and finish
Restringing a pearl necklace
quoted by length and clasp
Full restoration of an heirloom piece
quoted after a workshop check
Jewellery repair
How much does jewellery repair cost in Lisbon?
Repairs are quoted case by case in Lisbon, since it depends on the metal (gold, silver or platinum), whether a stone has to be replaced and how fiddly the piece is. Most workshops will give you a price after a quick look or from a clear photo, and a directory we read lists ten shops around Lisbon, Sintra, Amadora and Cascais that take repairs in. Get the quote in writing, and for anything with sentimental value ask whether the work is done in-house or sent away.
Broken chain or clasp, soldered
quoted on the spot
Loose or lost stone, reset or replaced
quoted by the stone
Antique or heirloom piece
quoted after a workshop check
Valuation for insurance
How much does a jewellery valuation for insurance cost in Lisbon?
A written valuation for your insurer is quoted per piece in Lisbon, since it depends on how many items you bring and whether a stone needs a proper gemmological check. Some shops offer a free appraisal by an official valuer accredited by the Casa da Moeda (the state mint, which also handles hallmarking), though that usually sits alongside a gold-buying service, so be clear you want a signed document for insurance and not an offer to buy. Check the valuer's accreditation and that the report describes each stone and hallmark.
Appraisal by an accredited official valuer
free at some shops
Written valuation report for an insurer
quoted per piece
Gemmological check on a diamond or coloured stone
quoted per stone
Engraving
How much does jewellery engraving cost in Lisbon?
Engraving is quoted per piece in Lisbon, since it depends on whether it's done by hand or by laser, how long the message is and what the piece is made of. The shops we read don't publish a rate, but at least one throws engraving in free on wedding bands and anything bought there, so ask before you pay for it elsewhere. Write the exact text down (spelling, date format, accents) and get it confirmed back to you, a wrong letter on a wedding band is hard to undo.
Names or a date inside a band bought there
free at some shops
Hand or laser engraving on a piece you own
quoted per piece
Longer message or a drawing
quoted after seeing the piece
Ring resizing
How much does ring resizing cost in Lisbon?
Resizing is quoted on the spot in Lisbon, since it depends on whether the ring goes down (metal taken out) or up (metal added, at the day's gold or silver price) and on whether stones sit around the band. Workshops that do repairs list it as a standard job, but none we read publish a fixed price, so ask for the quote before handing the ring over. If you're buying a ring, get sized properly first, most shops have a size guide and a fitting is quicker and cheaper than a resize.
Plain gold or silver band, sized down
quoted on the spot
Sized up, metal added
quoted with the metal price
Band with stones all the way round
ask first, not always possible
Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring jewelers in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking jewelers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring jewelers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring jewelers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say jewelers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, jewelers are usually called joalheiros. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find jewelers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
