Filigree jewelry first became popular in the Art Deco period of the 1920’s and 30’s. Designing filigree involves a delicate intricacy where each piece is cut-out and finished by hand. The antique look of filigree has continued to make it widely popular even into the 21st century. The W/A Studios Gold Treasure Earrings sport an exquisitely eye-catching filigree design, which features a large circular cut-out in the center surrounded by flower and scroll patterns. These 18kt gold plated dangles measure 2 ¼ inches and hang on a shepherd’s hook. Buy the W/A Studios Gold Treasure Earrings through Max and Chloe for $35.
