filigree

For instance, in Mompox, someone mentioned this 89-year-old silver filigree jeweler.

First a thin film of black carbon is produced round the metal, then the latter appears in the form of a filigree of silver.

Fig. 188 represents another specimen of Etruscan gold filigree work with a circle and Swastika.

It is ornamented on the outside with the fine gold filigree work peculiar to the best Etruscan art.

Byzantine filigree work occasionally has small stones set amongst the curves or knots.

But, with the exception of chains, it cannot be said that filigree work was much practised by them.
