Our Story


Growing up surrounded by strong women who appreciated the beauty of well-made jewelry, Valentina was inspired to pursue her passion for accessories by creating the stunning, semiprecious jewelry brand, by Valentina Castro. As a way to pay homage to her Brazilian heritage, Valentina uses her grandparent’s surname of Castro; this entire venture is very personal for the multi-cultural designer.
After spending her youth in Salvador, Brazil and Rome, Italy with her Brazilian mother and Italian father, Valentina moved to London where she has spent the last 16 years. Her connection to each of these various cultures are what inspires the designs she creates today. From the vibrancy of Italian art and history to the captivating confidence of women in Brazil, and the unconventional style of London, each place contributes a unique and important aspect to the jewelry at by Valentina Castro.
