Filigree (formerly written filigrann or filigrane) (Also known as “Telkari” (the name given in
Anatolia it means, “Wire work”) or “Cift-isi” (Meaning Tweezers work - Pronunciation: Chift-ishi)
) is a jewel work of a delicate kind made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver. It is
nowadays exceedingly common for ajoure work to be mislabelled as filigree. While both have many
open areas, filigree involves threads being soldered together to form an object and ajoure
involves holes being punched, drilled, or cut through an existing piece of metal.
The word, which is usually derived from the Latin filum, thread, and granum, grain, is not found
in Ducange, and is indeed of modern origin. According to Prof. Skeat it is derived from the
Spanish filigrana, from "filar", to spin, and grano, the grain or principal fibre of the
material.
