Our Story


Ciao, I’m Valentina. I grew up between Salvador and Rome, with a Brazilian mother and an Italian father, and I’ve lived in London for 20 years.

I grew up surrounded by strong women who appreciated the beauty of well-made jewellery, and that inspired me to turn my passion for accessories into Valentina Castro Jewellery. As a way to pay homage to my Brazilian heritage, I use my grandparents’ surname, Castro. This whole venture is very personal to me.




Each of these places inspires the designs I create today. From the vibrancy of Italian art and history to the captivating confidence of women in Brazil, and the unconventional style of London, every one of them adds something unique and important to the jewellery at Valentina Castro Jewellery

Our Products

Today, my jewellery is mainly made in a family-run manufacturer in Spain and France, working with talented artisans who specialise in high quality craftsmanship and modern techniques. Many designs feature natural stones, real pearls, and durable finishes that are water-resistant and tarnish-resistant, perfect for everyday wear.

I carefully curate every piece that becomes part of my brand, making sure each one reflects my heritage, my aesthetic, and the quality you expect. From natural gemstones to freshwater pearls, every material is chosen with intention, always with durability and long lasting beauty in mind.


Your jewellery arrives beautifully packaged, ready to gift or keep, and always made to become a special part of your everyday moments.
