Real stories inspired by the Azores. Kind words from customers who connected with the beauty, spirit, and craftsmanship behind Artzores
We love the pieces we have purchased from Artzores! We found them at the Christmas market in Ponta Delgada and got some necklaces to give as gifts. My wife also got a resin necklace for herself, and a wooden ornament for our Christmas tree. We commissioned a wooden sign for our house as well. Everything is so well done, creative, and reminiscent of the island that we love.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the exceptional craftsmanship and quality of the jewelry inspired by the natural beauty of the Azores, from the Vulcana rocks to the flowers and ocean. Every single piece is stunning, and my only challenge is deciding which one to choose!

I’m very grateful that your jewelry is unisex. We have made several purchases for men and women. Your jewelry is remarkably unique in that the soul of the Azores comes through with each piece of jewelry. We look forward to enjoy the continued expansion of your jewelry line that deeply expresses the wonder of life in the Azores. Obrigado!

I love Artzores! Heather Villavicencio is an artisan and master jeweller who designs and products azorean inspired works of art! My first purchase was a gorgeous layered wood cross with stunning details. Then, a discovered a breathtaking etched Sterling bracelet. I had to have it! During a Christmas market, I was delighted to find and buy a dozen laser cut wooden ornaments featuring all names of the island and the Ponta Delgada arch! @artzores collection of fishscale and hydrangeas earings and necklaces are next on my list of must haves!

If you are looking for something out-of-the-ordinary to celebrate your time on the island (whether you are visiting or living in the Azores), you can’t go wrong with art from Artzores. Because everything is made individually by hand, each piece is slightly different. You will own a treasure that is truly unique!"

Heather creates wonderful and special jewelry and gifts. Many made with local materials, always stunning and wearable for a friendly price. Her wood cut wall art is so pretty you want to collect them all! If you need a nice gift for yourself or someone else definitely take a look. There is something for every budget!
