I appreciate unique experiences of life and nature (like the perfect shooting star) similarly to the way I appreciate the unique features of our filigree collection here at Nina Designs. The detail in this collection is extraordinary. Each piece is woven by hand from strands of silver thinner than a human hair. It takes a light touch to arrange these strands in the proper placement, then heat them to just the right temperature for the solder to take. A moment too short and the bead will not set, a moment too long and the whole arrangement will crumble. This is a remarkable process and each piece is so beautiful.
From tiny sweet treasures to large extraordinary pieces, each has a unique quality because they are all intricately hand crafted. They are light in weight but not too delicate to wear regularly. I really enjoy using the tiny filigree flower dangle for accents on larger pieces or for dainty earrings. The filigree orchid charm is fabulous because just like in nature, each one is slightly different but for the jewelry designer, you can still match them for pairs of earrings. For those who enjoy larger pieces, the large filigree oval bead has visual substance but is very lightweight.
I wanted to share this collection with you because it is often missed due to our how wonderfully attractive our New Styles section is. So please take a short extra moment and visit our Shop Visual Menu to quickly find the filigree collection. I am sure you will find something perfect for your next piece!
