FOR THE LOVE OF FILIGREE
Current Works in Progress
I adore filigree, especially filigree jewelry! Filigree is delicate and intricate ornamental work made from gold, silver, or other fine twisted wire. The filigree pieces I utilize in my jewelry designs are made of brass, then coated with beautiful antique finishes in oxidized sterling silver, brass or copper. I work primarily with brass or bronze because I feel those finishes evoke the essence of vintage style the best. The art of filigree has been around for centuries and is an absolutely beautiful art form. Intricate and unique, feminine and romantic, filigree findings and stampings always add a touch of elegance to my jewelry designs. I often use them in conjunction with various vintage pieces I have in my collection. These are just a few of my current projects in progress; check back soon for finished designs. I'm also working on some crystal pendants that are turning out absolutely gorgeous with all that fabulous artwork mentioned in a previous post. Have a wonderful weekend!
