“Joy is the most serious thing in life!”

Almada Negreiros, Portuguese multidisciplinary artist

Let’s party! Tincal lab turns 10 in 2025 and it seems like the perfect time to reflect on the power of jewelry when it comes to celebrate special moments.

Jewels are often connected to collective rituals and long-time traditions. Think about weddings, coronation or awards ceremonies, graduations and anniversaries. 

In the context of celebration, a jewel can be universally recognized as a symbol of a commitment or an achievement. On a more personal level, it can celebrate memories, emotions and feelings. As a sign of intimacy, it can hide secrets whose meaning is only noticed by the wearer and someone who has the key. Often left as a heirloom or gifted on special dates, a jewel can bear layers of meanings that connect us to people we love or special events in our lives. With or without the weight of its material value, it can be carried like a treasure we cherish more than gold.

A metaphor, a memory vessel, a souvenir, a reflexion of a personal expression, a display of social status, a symbol of love that stands the test of time. Jewelry is definitely a way to celebrate life in all its variety of forms and expressions. You’re invited to join the celebration!
