The Craft recovers the filigree technique for its jewelry
Filigree is a goldsmithing technique that has been widely valued throughout history. The technique is thought to have originated in Mesopotamia in approximately 3000 B.C.E. and has been practiced in many cultures around the world. Craftsmen work gold or silver threads which, when intertwined, form a pattern resembling lace.

The beauty of filigree lies in its delicacy and the meticulousness required for its production. Each piece of filigree is unique, as it is created by hand with great skill and patience. Skilled filigree artisans possess an extraordinary skill and finesse in manipulating the metal threads and shaping intricate designs, often depicting natural elements such as flowers, leaves or animals.
