Filigree is jewelry metalwork and it is making with precious metals, such as gold and silver. Art pieces are made with small, detailed beads and twisted threads fused together or onto an object. It could remind us of lace art.
Filigree history starts from 1660 in Italy, France, and Portugal. Until the late 19th century this metal art became very popular in French fashion.
Filigree technique is a key part of art pieces made by the jewelers.
