What is a filigree design?
A filigree design is an intricate design made of thin pliable threads of precious metal like gold, silver, platinum and sometimes even metals like copper, by twisting and turning the metal into curls, twists or turns. Filigree designs can be inset with precious stones like diamonds, rubies, coral and others. A wide range of necklaces, rings, bracelets, in antique, vintage, and contemporary filigree designs set with precious stones can be sourced on 1stDibs.
