Amélia Correia
The Origin
Amélia Correia was born in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal and discovered early on that drawing was her natural form of expression. At the Soares dos Reis School of Arts, in Porto, she began shaping a language where form, emotion and identity coexist. Metal soon became an extension of her hands.
The Craft
After completing her artistic training, Amélia refined her technical skills in high jewellery, working with gold and silver in a professional context. In 2008, she founded her own brand and atelier, embracing an independent, author-led path. Portuguese tradition began to dialogue naturally with contemporary design in each creation.
Recognition
In 2012, her work was awarded Best Piece – Tradition at the 1st Iberian Congress of Jewellery, in Viana do Castelo. That same year, she took part in the Iberian Conference on Jewellery – Tradition, Design and Technology and was invited to contribute to the Presidency of the Republic Jewellery Project. Since then, her work has received honourable mentions, APIO distinctions and regular presence in national exhibitions.
