OUR FOUNDERS
all our pieces are designed in house by li furtado, our founder. li was born in a small village in alentejo (portugal). between stones and performance, in an early stage she chose to understand the earth by studying geography. but during her twenties and while she dedicated herself to a solid career in territorial planning, she began to discover the world of jewelry and fashion. without any inheritance or study in this field, quite slowly she started CINCO, always trying to create a brand that reveals her vision that accessories can empower women personality. fashion is history and jewelry is part of it. so at the age of 35, li furtado quit her job with the strong support of all the women and men behind her, especially her husband, miguel pereira.
miguel is the reason why CINCO is based in coimbra and why li never gave up on this dream. with a background in business management and a great passion for motorcycles, this duo has been working in love and life for almost 20 years now and has a little girl who will help them tell the story that is CINCO, hopefully for a long time to come, along with zaza and zizou, their beloved dogs.
THE DESIGNS
founded in 2017, CINCO is an independent design house that embraces minimalist jewelry with a timeless approach. each piece is simple yet full of character, designed for those who value effortless style without sacrificing elegance. we craft demi-fine and fine jewelry using responsibly sourced 925 sterling silver, 18 ct gold, precious stones, and semi-precious gemstones, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship.
the brand’s collections emphasizing thoughtful proportions and timeless appeal. the quality standard in portugal is high and maybe that’s why so many brands chose portugal for production.
we believe we really know how to make an idea come to life. the production and handmade factor are still an important part of the process and every single one of our pieces is thought and handled by many people, just so we know it’s perfect.
