The “Rose Window Flower” Miniature stands as a “Window to the World” and these are inspiringly described by Fernando Pessoa in the poem: “It’s not enough to open the window / To see the fields and the river / It’s not enough to be blind / To see the trees and the flowers. / It’s also necessary not to see any philosophy. / With philosophy there are no trees: there are just ideas. / There is just each one of us, as a cave. / There is just one window closed, and all the world outside; / And a dream about what you could see if the window would open, / That it’s never what you see when the window opens.”
The “Rose Window Flower” Miniature was inspired by the mystery and beauty on the Rose Window of the Jerónimos Monastery – one of the most emblematic Monuments of the Portuguese Maritime Expansion – as it reflects the spirit of the Gothic and Manueline architectural styles, in the 16th century. This Rose Window allows an entrance of light to the inside of the Church of Santa Maria de Belém, providing it with a mystical and magical environment!
The “Rose Window Flower” Miniature represents this magic light entering inside the Jerónimos Monastery. It is made of silver-plated brass, with a polished finish and we offer you a 3D printed stand where you can exhibit your Miniature. It has 60mm in diameter and an approximate weight of 108g in silver-plated brass, certified by a professional silversmith that transformed it into a precious Jewel.

The Rose Window represents the Divine Light, because of its inherent characteristics when offering such a special light inside the Churches. Its circular shape is the symbol of Eternity, with its endless curve. Inside the Rose Windows it is usual to find an amazing work of stone filigree, that translate into several arches shaping the stained glass and producing a unique atmosphere. This Divine Light entering the Church lets us travel through Time and we can easily imagine what it was like in this meditation atmosphere, just after the Church of Santa Maria de Belém was built, in the beginning of the 16th century, during the Maritime Silk Road.
Como produzimos as suas Jóias
Numa primeira fase, o seu design foi produzido com um esquisso inspirado nos bonitos pormenores arquitetónicos no Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. Uma segunda etapa seguiu-se aplicando a Modelação 3D com parâmetros específicos com um software de design 3D – Fusion e AutoCAD – em conjunto com a Tecnologia de Impressão 3D, numa Impressora 3D da FormLabs produzindo uma peça em resina própria para Joalharia. Numa terceira fase, esta peça foi entregue numa Oficina de Joalharia, nas mãos de um artesão certificado de Joalharia, e que a transformou numa Jóia em prata. Estes 3 passos foram cuidadosamente executados e acompanhados c/ especial atenção a todos os detalhes, p/ que o resultado fosse uma Jóia única com um significado especial e qualidade de topo.
As Rosáceas são um dos elementos mais bonitos em Arquitetura e têm sido fundamentais ao longo da história ao proporcionarem uma luz especial no interior de muitas Igrejas e Mosteiros. Esta luz transmitiu e ainda hoje transmite Esperança a muitos, particularmente nos tempos mais difíceis, e esta é a nossa mensagem.
