The Earthquake of Lisboa: 250 years after

2005 Event

On the occasion of the 250-year over the terrible earthquake that devastated the city of Lisbon and its environs, a Contemporary Jewellery Collection was created, including pieces in silver, resin and reproductions of images* taken from plastic works allusive to the violent earthquake, which anonymous authors from German origin engraved in copper (late 18th c.).
