Filigree

Filigree is the delicate process of jewelry making with tine beads and strings of metal, generally gold and silver. They are soldered together or to the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs.

Its origins are in Asian and European countries. 

The art may be said to consist in curling, twisting and plaiting fine pliable threads of metal, and uniting them at their points of contact with each other, and with the ground. 

Filigree jewelry design, and its twisting and soldering techniques, have an application in other metal-work such as wrought iron hanging wall brackets and silertoned doors.

Filigree is an art which is very famous in India. It is one of the most widely used form of jewelry making in India. Especially for wedding jewelry it is very widely used.
