Our history
About
Who we are
Rígido was born in 2020 with the premise of delivering modern, sustainable designs through artisanal craftsmanship. Based out of A Coruña, in Spain, Carla Barral and Javier González focus on durability and quality of materials. The end results are unique, carefully crafted pieces with a clean, minimal touch.
Galicia, the brand's home region, is known for its myriad of small villages, towns, and endless nature.
This protected environment has given rise to extraordinary displays of craftsmanship. By utilizing these historic techniques, Rigido aims to create modern design proposals that embody simplicity and innovation.

Our values
Local and artisanal production
All of our products are handcrafted and locally made in our workshop in A Coruña. We decided to focus on local production to promote our local industry.
Quality of materials
All of our pieces bear the seal of quality from the hallmarking laboratory in A Coruña, Galicia, which confirms the authenticity of our precious metals. We work with the highest quality materials: 18-karat gold and sterling silver. We also make pieces in vermeil: sterling silver plated with 18-karat gold.
Circular economy
All the materials we use, as well as our slow production philosophy, are based on the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Responsible consumption
On-demand production, reusable and recycled packaging with non-polluting inks.
Without seasons
We create timeless pieces that don't follow trends.
Diversity
As a brand, we want to convey and celebrate the values of gender, sexual, and racial diversity to create real and tangible inclusivity. We do this through the representation of our brand, as well as the models and creatives we work with.
