Our story
Three Generations
This is a story of three generations. Different life experiences and practices acquired over time are combined.
Rui Vieira is the company's founder and the one who inspired Monseo way of life. Monseo was created because our family decided to take his legacy into the future.
José and Manuela take the team everyday to the fascinating world of gemology and craftsmanship. For these two persons to design and think about all the details of a jewellery piece is a form of true luxury and a form of art. They have two cutting edge daughters.
Diana is an architect and interior designer and very early she had contact with the passion of her grandfather and her parents in the business and developed a growing interest in the art of jewellery through her life. Nowadays, as Creative Director, she seeks to articulate Monseo DNA with a new, modern but still sophisticated approach. Her designs are already known for their highly sculptural and architectural forms.
Always committed with Monseo, Raquel is an independent graphic designer, art director and photographer based in London and keeps her collaborations with the brand among different projects.
The name Monseo means a desire, above all, a dream. Monseo specialises in the creation and production of high jewellery pieces in gold with natural precious stones.
