For thousands of years, cultures around the world have made
filigree: delicate jewelry, decorative objects, even furniture. The
intricate curls and twists mislead people into thinking that
filigree is difficult to make--but it’s much easier than it looks,
with help from Silver Threads. This book demystifies the process of
creating filigree jewelry. First, basic silverworking techniques
are paired with an overview of tools and materials. Then readers
learn to make simple filigree shapes, used in 12 stunning projects
ranging from simple pendants and earrings to more complex necklaces
with gemstone settings. Detailed instructions, illustrations, and
full-color photos guide readers through the learning process--and
into planning and creating their own unique filigree designs.
