Vintage Italian Silver Filigree Earrings

£60.00

№  S27

These hand-made Italian silver filigree earrings are designed in a heart shape with a lace-like leaf motif.

Filigree, dating as far back as 3000 BCE, is created by weaving and curling fine metal wire, typically silver or gold, into intricately laced spirals, scrolls, or vines. This craftsmanship has been passed down through generations, however few craftsmen remain who can perform such delicate work.

I have not cleaned the earrings as the silver has naturally formed a lovely, dark, patina over the years, which highlights the complexity of the wirework.
