Opis:

Caliphal Filigree is an artisan jewelry made according to the traditional methods of the Andalusi jewelry of the 10th century.  Inspired by the decoration of the Mosque and the palatine city of Madinat Al-Zahra of Cordova.

The main material is 925 thousandths silver covered in white gold with glazed ceramic for metals.

Caliphal craft techniques include the fusion of gross material, using the same alloy of copper and silver than was used during the caliphate, as established by the law of metals.

The techniques used for decorating the pieces include secret formulas of alchemy on how to apply ceramics, like these used in tiles, which are applied to jewels’ enamelling.

Since the Middle Ages, Córdoba has been an outstanding centre of silver production, and it has also stood out at European level, counting from this period of an important guild of assembled silversmiths.
