Technique: Filigree (formerly written filigrann or filigrane) is a delicate kind of jewel work made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver or stitching of the same curving motifs. It often suggests lace and French from 1660 to the late 19th century. It should not be confused with ajoure jewellery work; while both have many open areas, filigree involves threads being soldered together to form an object and ajoure involves holes being punched, drilled, or cut through an existing piece of metal. (from: Wikipedia)

cannetille: This specific filigree technique, which is the technique of twisting or plaiting a thin gold wire into refined motifs, was popular in traditional Spanish and Portuguese jewellery. It became hugely popular in London and Paris in the 1830’s.
