Which place is known for Gold or Silver filigree work?

Ethiopia has it’s fair share of Filigree pieces and jewelry.

By soldering tiny gold or silver twisted threads and beads, Ethiopian Artisans produce Filigree bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings.

Firstly, the gold or silver goes through a stretching process till it becomes very fine thread. This thread is then manipulated and twisted into the design the artisan wants to achieve.

He may then produce many of these intricate pieces which can solder together to form a bigger piece. Gold or silver beads can also be added to beautify the piece of jewelry.
