WHAT IS FILIGREE?
You may not be clear on what filigree is. It's a goldsmithing technique used in artisanal jewelry that involves creating all kinds of shapes and figures by carving metal or modeling very fine metal threads, often forming a lace-like pattern.
The creation of a filigree piece is a tremendously delicate and meticulous job that in many cases can take weeks or months.
Some of the names that the shapes executed in these pieces receive are: mustache-like designs, bulky shapes, wedge shapes, stick-like long shapes, and intertwined threads. Filigree jewelry tends to be very light because there's often empty space within them.
Ancient civilizations have been crafting filigree pieces for millennia:
- The Etruscans and Greeks applied filigree techniques in gold and silver.
- The Egyptians made filigree with the enameling technique. The Byzantines perfected this technique, an improvement that was called 'Byzantine brightness'.
- In China and India, filigree was made as a decorative element in more significant pieces but also as artistic pieces in themselves.
- Mixtec filigree was widely spread in Mesoamerica. One of its most famous pieces is the pectoral of the God of Death, found in present-day Oaxaca.
