Filigree


Filigree is a delicate technique of curling or twisting fine cables of silver or gold and soldering them where their points meet to create an open, almost lace-like design. It is a technique used to produce intricate patterns in metal.

The photo below shows gold-plated filigree with 5mm Emerals and 4mm Ernite green Swarovski crystals
