Filigree it is a traditional jewelry making technique using find threads of metal, usually gold or silver for making filigree. My designs for filigree work have been derived from ancient processes, yet the work is created with a distinct contemporary vision. I push the fabrication process to its limits in experimentation with line and form, be they straight and austere or curved and intricate.  Every piece of jewelry in my collection is an experiment and one of a kind.
The art of filigree can only be made by hand. Different small parts are created, then soldered together to build up a wearable sculpture. I use fine and sterling silver and incorporate precious stones, gold, copper, and other metals. Often for a single ring or pendant, I might have to use 100 ft. of wire.
