What Is Filigree Design?

The filigree design is the art of twisting and turning thin metal wires and using them to create designs. Often these wires are accompanied with small metal balls which are also part of the design. Filigree design dates as old as 3500 BC and it was also found in the Mesopotamian region. Soon other places adopted the method and made further changes to it. Filigree design features designs that are delicate and resemble lace-like patterns. Filigree jewellery is made not only in gold but also precious metals like silver.
