Headquartered in Madrid, Carrera y Carrera is a premier Spanish jewelry company that dates back to 1885, when Saturio Esteban Carrera opened a small jewelry workshop; that business was carried on by a son and his four nephews. In 1960, when Queen Fabiola of Belgium planned her nuptials to King Baudoin, the company was commissioned to make the royal wedding tiara. The distinction associated with this prestigious commission perfectly positioned the company for successful growth.

In 1965, Saturio’s great-grandson, Manuel, opened his own shop, in Madrid intent on creating an internationally recognized brand. By the 1970s, he and another great-grandson, Juan Jose–through travel and exhibitions–had succeeded in building the company we know today.
