This style is called filigree, which consists of making jewelry with goldsmith's wire. Filigree is a symbol of elegance, so characteristic of French women. The filigree technique was known since the 9th century in the civilizations of the ancient East, ancient Greece and ancient Rome, before spreading to Byzantium, the Near, Middle and Far East, as well as Western Europe.
These pieces are made of 99.9% fine silver and 14k gold; there are also 14k gold-plated pieces as well as copper and brass items. They are very lightweight, often imperceptible on the skin. The more stones a piece contains, the heavier it is. Most pieces bend and stretch easily, giving them a resemblance to gold and silver lace.
