The process of making filigree by hand is methodical and time-consuming, starting with stretching metal into thin, threadlike strips. WHAT DOES 925 MEAN? When a piece of jewelry has 925 stamped on it, almost like a tiny engraving, it means that it is 92.5% silver and 7.5% of another metal. This 925 is called a “hallmark” and indicates high-quality sterling silver. S H I P P I N G: All items are carefully and gently wrapped with a great deal of care.
