Filigree Jewelry

The techniques used for crafting filigree jewelry are extremely ancient. Filigree is thought to have originated with the Egyptians, but it flourished with the Phoenicians. From medieval Europe, filigree jewelry spread to South America, and became a specialty of the Peruvian town of Catacaos. Gold filigree jewelry and vermeil are traditional arts of the region. The feminine designs in Filigree Jewelry adapt themselves well to heart earrings and necklaces.
