You might wonder...

How long does the gold plated last?

The durability of the plated should last a very long time. but still it depends on the care given to the piece.

Does the brand respect the environment?

Raquel Poço Jewellery takes the environment into account. The silver used in the pieces is reused. The packaging of the orders does not contain plastic and utilize reused cardboard.

Where does the name of the collection 'Três Marias' originate from?

The collection is made to pay homage to a part of the feminist movement in Portugal – referring to the writers of As Novas Cartas Portuguesas of 1972, Maria Velho da Costa, Maria Teresa Horta and Maria Isabel Barreno – and to a personal part of the life of Raquel Poço – Maria is the name of her grandmother, mother and daughter. Thus, each of the pieces is named after the nickname of the different Marias who contributed to a structural change in Portugal.
