Filigree Aquamarine Rings

The term filigree is used to describe delicate and intricate ornamentation. It can be applied to lace in particular as this gives it the delicate and open effect of the fine threads of silk or cotton. In the jewelry world the filigree technique can be applied to making ring settings for precious stones in gold, silver, or platinum. The technique of working in filigree dates back to the 3rd century.

Filigree Aquamarine Rings are particularly lovely; the delicacy of the setting enhances the subtlety of the color of the stone. Traditionally the birth stone for the month of March, a filigree aquamarine ring would be a great present for someone with a birthday in that month.

The styling of some of the filigree aquamarine rings available echoes the designs of the Art Deco period, when filigree was particularly popular. The antique rings show the skilful design and craftsmanship that went in to the production of this type of jewelry. The antique jewelry in the filigree style is just beautiful. The lacy effect of the setting in yellow gold, or even better in white gold or platinum is stunning and for anyone who likes delicacy and refinement in their jewelry a filigree aquamarine ring would fit the bill.
