Filigree, is also called as filigrann or filigrene. This is a very unique craft form representing a delicate jewellery metalwork. It is usually made of gold and silver. The pieces of the craft work also constitute tiny beads or twisted threads, or both of these in an artistic combination.

This is soldered together onto the surface of a similar metal object and then arranged as artistic motifs. Filigree work is often traced back to the Italian and French metal works of 17th to 19th century. It is derived from the Latin word caled "filum" meaning thread and "granum" which means grain or small bead.
