ABOUT
Discover CINCO fine jewelry, designed in Portugal. Jewelry made to last, crafted in 925 sterling silver and 18ct gold. Defined by clean forms, considered proportions, and intentional details. We returned to what gives jewelry its meaning. We didn’t set out to reinvent jewelry. We simply went back to what jewelry always was — before it became disconnected from its meaning.
OUR FOUNDERS
All our pieces are designed in-house.
Founded and designed by Li Furtado, with a background in geography, the brand carries a singular way of seeing the world — through structures, proportions, and relationships. This foundation translates into pieces with presence: precise lines, bold volumes, forms that feel inevitable. They don’t follow trends — they create their own language. There is an intentional tension between delicacy and strength. Between the essential and the striking. Jewelry that doesn’t seek validation — it claims its space. CINCO was built on a shared vision — of creating something lasting, with meaning and independence at its core.
Together with Miguel, whose background in business management brought structure to that vision, the brand found both its foundation and its home in Coimbra, Portugal. For over two decades, they have built this journey side by side — shaping not only a brand, but a way of working rooted in commitment, resilience, and continuity. Today, CINCO remains a reflection of that balance: between creativity and discipline, instinct and structure, vision and execution.

PEOPLE
We work with those who see the world differently — and create for those who do the same. Over time, this has shaped a close and considered relationship between us and the people we collaborate with.
Each CINCO piece is thoughtfully crafted with the intention of lasting — designed to be worn, kept, and passed on. We prioritize responsible practices at every stage: using recycled and ethically sourced 925 sterling silver and gold, alongside carefully selected semi-precious materials. Many of our pieces are made to order, allowing us to reduce waste and produce with greater intention.
Because creating less — but better — is part of the process.
