About the Art of Filigree
 
Filigree is a delicate kind of jewellery metalwork made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver.

Jewellery in Sardinia has been made using the method of filigree workmanship for many centuries. In fact, the Sardinian tradition for filigree is between the most ancient in the world. It reached its maximum level of intricacy with the decoration of filigree jewellery used to beautify the woman’s figure.

Mixed with the traditional are exciting contemporary designs made possible thanks to a series of “significant innovations” in filigree metalwork. Indeed, several techniques used for KOKKU’s jewellery are patented and exclusively used by the best local artisans.
