Altering Filigree with Forming, Bending, Trimming

Bronze Filigree Yields Unique Results
I’ve been a fan of filigree, brass, steel and aluminum and have used it for many years, and in a wide variety of projects. Lately, however, I’ve come across a filigree line with a unique combination of alloys and a finish that is giving me a lot of new ideas and possibilities than I have had with the others. Unlike the solid stamped brass, this filigree is thinner and less rigid, can be shaped without metal fatigue and has a mottled dark finish that accepts a variety of tinting techniques.

Bronze Filligree, Formed and Pleated
This beautiful bracelet just wanted some filigree, so we "pleated" the bronze filigree then ran the bracelet wire through the center. We finished it with flowers and pearls.

Pleated Bronze Filligree Necklace with Lucite Flowers
Enjoyed the bracelet so much i decided to do a necklace. Used memory wire, threaded it through the "pleats" then adorned the filigree with lucite flowers and freshwater pearls. The 3 filigree drops are long cone bead caps with crystals hiding inside. Most of the crystals used are vintage austrian crystals.
