The story: Filigree jewelry is one of the finest examples of traditional jewelry art. This ancient technique, inherited from Mediterranean and Oriental civilizations, consists of shaping very fine gold or silver threads to form openwork patterns, often floral or geometric. Particularly fashionable at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, the filigree seduces by its visual lightness and the meticulousness of its execution. Each piece requires patience and dexterity, with the threads being welded with extreme precision to create a unique lace effect. Delicate and sophisticated, filigree jewelry crosses the ages without losing its grace, carrying within it the memory of a precious and timeless know-how.
