About Filigree Ring Designs

Filigree is a metalwork technique in which fine threads of gold or silver are twisted, curled, and soldered into delicate openwork patterns. The technique dates to ancient Mesopotamia and reached its high point in Edwardian and Art Deco jewelry. Filigree rings feature airy, lace-like metalwork around the center stone and band — creating an heirloom aesthetic with significant hand-finishing labor. Modern filigree is typically reinforced for daily-wear durability.
