Filigree is a delicate ornamental work made with twisted threads usually in gold or silver, suggesting lace. Used since antiquity—filigree work dates from 3000 B.C.—it reached a high point during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. The romanticism and detail of antique filigree jewelry has made it continue to be widely popular through the present day.
