«The Fátima Jewels collection really started with the centennial pieces. While wondering what we would do for this centennial, we thought: “we made the crown in ‘42, let’s make reproductions of the crown”. But it wouldn’t make any sense to sell reproductions of the crown of Our Lady of Fátima, so we went in search of the person who made the image of Our Lady that is in the sanctuary and we found the nephew of the person who made the original image, who is still a wood carver in the North of Portugal.»
