#TechniqueTuesday Filigree is a delicate and intricate form of metalwork that has been used in jewelry and other decorative arts for thousands of years. The technique involves twisting and curling fine threads of metal, usually gold or silver, into ornate patterns. Archaeological finds suggest that filigree was incorporated into jewelry as far back as 3,000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia. The craft has been a fundamental part of gold and silversmith training throughout history and is considered a stepping-stone towards becoming a respected artisan in the field. The Midlibrary score is 7.5/9 (We can deal with Francis D. wearing the jewelry piece on his face, but Nazgul is too generic (-1) and Thom Yorke could be so much better (-0.5)).
