Portugal has a longtime tradition in the gemstone world. From the vibrant garnets mined near Lisbon in Roman times, to all the gems materials brought by Portuguese navigators from the Orient and, later, with the abundant diamonds and coloured gemstones from Brazil, there is plenty to talk about during this Lunch & Talk at the JNcQUOI Club on October 7 in an exclusive event supported by LAUREL Associação Portuguesa da Marcas de Excelência, Member of European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance (ECCIA)).
There might be still available seats here:
See you at lunch in Lisbon!
