Italian filigree: the work is so intricate you have to examine the pieces with a magnifying glass to truly appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship. This work is incredible! Filigree, when properly executed, appears almost regal - yet you can wear it with jeans or formal attire. Made of hallmarked 24kt gold plated sterling silver by truly talented artists. The quality of this jewelry cannot be captured in a photograph. Comes nicely boxed.
