About OÑATE
The Soul of Spanish Elegance
OÑATE is a house built upon artistry, heritage, and the pursuit of timeless beauty.
For three generations, our family has devoted itself to the art of fine jewelry — crafting pieces that capture both the spirit of Spain and the grace of those who wear them.
Born from a lineage whose noble origins trace back to 1481, OÑATE represents more than craftsmanship — it is the living expression of a legacy. Every design embodies centuries of refinement, blending classical Spanish techniques with contemporary sophistication.
Each OÑATE jewel is an intimate creation, forged in gold and emotion. Behind every curve and detail lies a philosophy: true elegance is eternal, not ephemeral.
Guided today by Armand Congregado Oñate, heir to the family tradition, the House continues its story with a renewed vision — to share the excellence of Spanish craftsmanship with the world while preserving the integrity, artistry, and nobility that define its name.
OÑATE is not simply jewelry.
It is heritage made tangible — a world where elegance reigns, and every piece carries the soul of royalty.
THE OÑATE HERITAGE
A Legacy Forged in Time
The Oñate coat of arms finds its origin in the medieval heraldry of the House of Guevara , with the earliest records dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries — an era where symbols were earned through honor, loyalty, and lineage.
In 1481, the family was elevated to the County of Oñate, securing its place among the noble houses of Spain.
Through the late 17th century, during the height of the Baroque period, the crest evolved into its iconic form — crowned, quartered, and richly adorned — a testament to legacy, authority, and sovereign grace.
Today, this emblem is reborn as the insignia of OÑATE — a bridge between centuries of tradition and a new era of luxury.
A mark of heritage, vision, and enduring craftsmanship.
More than a symbol, the Oñate family crest is the living soul of our House.
Each element tells the story of centuries of heritage — a legacy of nobility, artistry, and vision.
Today, we proudly turn this emblem into the signature of OÑATE, bringing Spanish elegance to the world of fine jewelry.
