silver filigree
Delicate wire jewelry
Silver filigree is delicate ornamental metalwork made from fine silver wire twisted into intricate patterns, often resembling lace.
The technique produces jewelry, decorative boxes, and other small objects with an airy, openwork appearance: a silver filigree brooch, an antique silver filigree frame.
The term sometimes describes anything with similarly delicate, intricate patterning.
