As confirmed by EL CORREO, the piece Cristiano Ronaldo chose to propose to Georgina Rodríguez was made by the Spanish jewelry company Damaso Martínez , located in the city of Bilbao . " We create exclusive pieces of fine jewelry so you can shine both in your everyday life and on your most special occasions," they boast on their website, where you can browse some of their designs.
This brand, one of the most exclusive in our country, was founded in Bilbao's Old Town in the 1970s by businessman Dámaso Martínez and his wife, Consuelo González. After years working as a jewelry representative, he decided to take the plunge and open his own store, currently located on María Díaz de Haro Street.
Since its inception, the company has continued to expand, becoming one of the leading national and international jewelry brands. Now, after years of work, they can boast a presence in jewelry stores around the world on five continents, as well as participating in the most important international jewelry fairs.
Furthermore, according to some publications, the Portuguese and his partner are not the only celebrities who have reportedly chosen Damaso Martínez for their most special jewelry.
In addition to the Damaso Martínez brand, Mónica Martínez, currently the creative director and manager of the Bilbao-based company, is also behind Georgina Rodríguez's engagement ring. She, along with the rest of her family, has continued her parents' legacy, "inheriting this great passion for the world of jewelry," something she has transferred to her pieces.
It's no surprise, in fact, that she was the one commissioned to create this exclusive piece. As she herself shared on social media, both she and her partner maintain a great relationship with Cristiano and Georgina, with whom they have been good friends for some time.
Just a month ago, the firm's manager shared some very close snapshots with the soccer player and the model on a boat in Mallorca, highlighting the special friendship the couple shares . A picture that only confirms why the couple has trusted the Bilbao-based jewelry company for one of their most special days.
