Raquel Poço Jewellery x RIMA lab

GUARD[ARTE]

Guard[arte] begins with a simple gesture: a child’s drawing.

Drawn with intention rather than technique, children’s drawings have a unique honesty. A house may float above the ground, a portrait may have uneven arms, a heart may sit in the middle of the page simply because that is where it belongs.

Their value does not lie in perfection, but in the meaning they carry.

Guard[arte] was created to preserve these gestures and give them permanence.

Starting from a drawing shared by you, the original artwork is carefully prepared and transformed into two complementary pieces: a minimalist print and an engraved medal.

THE PROJECT

Guard[arte] is a collaboration between Raquel Poço Jewellery and RIMA lab, bringing together two ways of preserving a gesture.

At its core is the transformation of a drawing into a piece of jewellery. Raquel Poço Jewellery engraves the original gesture into a medal, allowing it to be worn and kept close to the body.

Alongside this, RIMA lab works the drawing so it can exist as a print, preserving the richness and character of the original illustration.

GUARD[ARTE] NECKLACE

The Guard[arte] Necklace transforms a child’s drawing into something that can be carried with you.

Each piece begins with an original gesture, carefully adapted to be engraved in metal. To ensure the best result, the drawing may be slightly simplified, always with the intention of preserving its essence. The engraving is done by hand, giving each medal a unique and tactile presence.

A piece made to hold meaning. To be worn close, and kept for years to come.

GUARD(ARTE) PRINT

The Guard[arte] Print preserves the drawing in its most complete and expressive form.

Set within a soft, neutral composition, the line remains raw and honest, carrying the energy of the original gesture. This careful treatment gives the piece a contemporary feel, allowing it to sit naturally within any space, making it both personal and quietly aesthetic.

Each print is finished with a discreet caption, naming the moment and its author.
