The Street of Junqueira is one of the most emblematic in Póvoa de Varzim. Its 900 m in length were, in 1792, adorned with 49 houses on the left side and 29 on the right side, all of them belonging to fishing families. Over the years and after some renovations, the Junqueira It was increasingly becoming a place of commerce. It was at number 54 of this street that Tavares was established, when it was still called Rua 5 de outubro. in 1937.
Even today, it is on this historic street in Póvoa de Varzim that Tavares remains. A space that is much more than a store, like a magical tunnel the jewelry store extends along its length revealing different spaces that take us on a journey through the company’s history.
Right at the entrance you’ll find a beautiful, recently renovated retail space, full of gold, silver and precious stone pieces, with the same counter that has become Tavares’ trademark.
This is followed by a more intimate space prepared for special orders, then a gallery, where Tavares ‘ treasures come to life and where customers are invited to learn more about the history of goldsmithing in Portugal, through exhibitions and small events.
This gallery is a tribute to Carlos and Ana’s father, Miguel Tavares, who always dreamed of a special space that would reflect the heart of this family business.
This is where our skilled goldsmiths bring the most special pieces in our collection to life. Inside a glass case, open to all who are curious, we reveal the meticulous process behind each piece of jewelry we create.
With talented hands and a unique devotion to their craft, our goldsmiths forge every detail by hand, transforming Tavares’ most special pieces. But our workshop is not just the cradle of our creations. It is here that the most incredible pieces of jewelry are restored and the oaths of love that the jewels eternalize are engraved.
Our workshop is the beating heart of our jewelry business, where tradition meets innovation, and where each creation is a journey through our history and the history of those who trust us.

When placed on your finger, the ring should be comfortable so that it does not fall off, but loose enough to slide off when you want to take it off.
The size of your finger varies depending on the time of day and the weather. To obtain the best results, measure your finger:
— At the end of the day or when your finger is warm (fingers are thinner early in the morning or when the weather is cold);
— Measure your finger size 3 to 4 times to avoid possible reading errors.
To obtain more accurate measurements, you should avoid using string or paper to measure your finger size, as these materials can stretch or twist, distorting the actual measurement. If you are ordering from abroad, you can determine your ring size according to your country, using the table above, matching the Portuguese size with the international size.
Print the page here and check the scale with a ruler. Place one of your rings over the circles. The inner diameter of the ring must match the circle.
