Filigree is the delicate manipulation of thin strips of metal that are woven and twisted to form incredible texture and detail. The process of making filigree by hand is methodical and time-consuming, starting with stretching metal into thin, threadlike strips. This part requires a lot of patience and many jewelers still often do it by hand. Once the strips are formed, the jeweler works with one piece of threadlike metal at a time. Using heated tools to soften it, the jeweler will twist and manipulate the thread into the desired shape and design. Once the metal shape is complete, it’s soldered to the metal base piece. This process is repeated over and over again until the entire design is completed. I ship daily.
