What is Jali or Filigree gold work?
Jali (also called filigree) is an intricate Indian goldsmithing technique where fine gold wire is twisted and woven into delicate lattice patterns. It is one of the most skilled and labour-intensive forms of traditional gold jewellery making, prized for its ornate, lace-like appearance.
How heavy is this ring?
It weighs 3.6 grams of solid 22ct gold. Filigree rings are lighter than solid band rings of the same size because of the open lattice construction — so 3.6g is a good weight for a detailed, wearable everyday ring.

Can this ring be resized?
Filigree and Jali rings are more delicate than solid band rings, which can make resizing more complex. Please contact us before purchasing if you need a size other than Q — we may be able to source or order your size.
