Lea Nogueira
Behind every Ignis piece is Lea Nogueira, who designs and makes each jewel by hand, from the first idea to the final finish. Her work combines traditional Portuguese goldsmithing techniques — filigree, forging and repoussé — with a contemporary design inspired by nature and memory.
In the same atelier where the collections are born, Lea shares these techniques in workshops and private lessons, so more people can experience the slow time of making by hand.
Three traditional techniques
Filigree
Portugal's most iconic jewellery technique: extremely fine silver or gold wires, twisted and shaped into designs of great delicacy.
Learn it in a workshop →Forging
Metal shaped by hammer blows — a technique of gesture and rhythm that gives pieces their sculptural character.
Learn it in a workshop →Repoussé
Relief worked from the back of the metal, revealing volume and depth.
