The Heart of Viana, or Coração de Viana, is a stunning piece of traditional Portuguese jewelry. Its intricate filigree design, made from delicate gold or silver wires, is a testament to centuries of artisanal skill. But the heart's true beauty lies in its rich and evolving history.

 

From Religious Devotion to National Treasure

 

The story of the Heart of Viana dates back to the 18th century, when it was born out of religious devotion. Queen Maria I, in gratitude for the birth of her male child, commissioned a gold heart to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This religious origin is why the heart is often depicted with flames at the top, a symbol of divine love.

Over time, the heart's meaning transcended its religious roots. It became a powerful symbol of love and national identity. The heart is closely associated with the Minho region of Portugal, where it is a central part of the traditional costume. Women from Minho proudly wear these filigree hearts as a symbol of their cultural identity and connection to tradition. Families pass the hearts down from mother to daughter, making them treasured heirlooms that carry a legacy of love, wisdom, and history.

The heart’s timeless appeal has made it an ambassador for Portuguese culture worldwide. It has evolved from a regional specialty into a national treasure, appearing on everything from jewelry to clothing and home decor. The heart now represents universal values like life, love, friendship, and fraternity, speaking to our shared humanity regardless of cultural background.

Our Heart of Viana mug beautifully captures this evolution of meaning. The mug features the heart's iconic filigree design, allowing you to hold a piece of Portuguese history in your hands every day. It’s a way to connect with a culture that values craftsmanship, tradition, and, most importantly, love.
