Gondomar launches brand in gold & jewellery sector
On April 20th, the Municipal Council of Gondomar launched the Gondomar Original Jewellery Brand at the Fundação Júlio Resende – a new company “which aims to connect and promote the jewellery and gold pieces of the country”. This seal of certification will now identify the pieces from the region.
The Municipality of Gondomar hosted an event to promote the sector, bringing together goldsmiths and entrepreneurs from various branches of the industry and with the presence of the brand ambassador, Maria Cerqueira Gomes.
The Mayor of Gondomar, Marco Martins, emphasised that “the network allows for the strengthening of the Gondomar jewellery industry and promote the work of our goldsmiths internationally”, referring also to “the differentiating characteristics of what is produced in Gondomar”, especially in an environment that increasingly combines tradition and innovation.
The president also spoke about the strategic importance of “Gondomar being supported by the Contrastaria1, an important relationship for the continuity and growth of the sector in the region”.
Cláudia Vieira, the councillor in charge of economic development, said that this is a campaign “that is not from the Municipality, but from all the people who are part of it, because it came about due to the very strong involvement of our goldsmiths and their opinions as to what is really important in the industry”.
She also added that it is expected that the Gondomar Original Jewellery brand, besides just “forming a common identity”, will also be a great opportunity for the jewellery industry, giving them an international presence.
