THE FOUNDER

Gabriel Duarte, a talented craftsman and passionate historian, founded Neo Regalia with the goal of combining his love for history with the art of jewelry making. Born and raised in Portugal, Gabriel grew up fascinated by the stories of great events and figures that shaped the world. With Neo Regalia, he seeks to honor these stories and preserve their legacy in a unique and luxurious way.

Gabriel’s love for history deepened not just through textbooks, but through the immersive worlds of Crusader Kings and Age of Empires. These games turned historical figures into near-mythical heroes, their feats larger than life, figures like Jeanne d’Arc, William the Conqueror, Richard the Lionheart, and Saladin sparked his fascination even beyond for history.

Gabriel wasn’t just the kid with his nose in history books—he was the one excitedly retelling the stories he learned, eyes lighting up as he spoke of kings, battles, and epic moments. He loves the quiet, meditative practice of sketching, often filling notebooks with half-finished ideas and illustrations. Museums are his sanctuaries, where he walks for hours captivated by artifacts that have survived the rise and fall of civilizations.

Beyond his dedication to create new designs, Gabriel's passions extend to learning about history. He finds inspiration in paintings or sculptures of museums, where the ''voices'' and ''messages'' of the past resonate deeply with him. When not designing or researching, he often indulges in drawing, translating his creative visions onto paper or screen. He enjoys watching historical films and documentaries that reignite his wonder for stories that have stood the test of time. However, Gabriel also believes in balance; he occasionally lets loose, joining friends to celebrate life’s moments with parties and drinks. He’s also the friend who bursts out laughing at a good joke and the one who can be found at a local café savoring a drink and lively conversation.

He sometimes loses track of time when wrapped up in a project or forgets to respond to messages when his mind is lost in a historical rabbit hole. He can be serious and intense, but those who know him best know that beneath the focus and passion is a man who appreciates the simple joys: a good meal, shared laughter with friends, and the comfort of knowing he’s doing what he loves.

Gabriel is currently writing a single epic tale fantasy history inspired by the great heroes and empires that shaped the world. One day, he may choose to share it with the world, but for now, his designs in Neo Regalia carry the spirit of that story, connecting the past to the present.
