（Dragonfly） Filigree Inlay Brooch - YiEon

The art of filigree, an intricate metalworking technique, has a fascinating history spanning over 5,000 years. The oldest known filigree artifacts were discovered in Mardin, Mesopotamia, dating back to 3000 BC. This delicate craft spread throughout the ancient world, adorning the necks and wrists of Etruscans, Ancient Greeks, and Romans. Phoenician merchants carried the technique across the Mediterranean, eventually reaching what is now modern Spain. Throughout the Filigree history, it's craftsmanship in Eastern has a history of over 2,000 years, flourishing during the Han Dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE) and later reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Our collections continue to use this ancient technique, blending traditional motifs with contemporary designs to create unique jewelry pieces. 

YIEON's Filigree Crafts involves bending and twisting fine threads of precious metals, such as gold and silver, into elaborate designs and patterns, which requires a high level of skill and precision.

What makes filigree truly remarkable is its incredible delicacy - the silver threads used are even finer than human hair, measuring just 0.01mm in thickness. Each piece is painstakingly crafted by hand, with artisans carefully bending and shaping these ultra-fine threads into intricate patterns and designs. This level of detail and precision demonstrates why filigree has remained one of the most admired forms of jewelry making throughout history. The creation of filigree crafts using ultra-fine silver threads requires at least eight intricate steps of masterful craftsmanship.
