S I Z E: height: 2.25 inches width: 1.25 inches WHAT IS FILIGREE? Filigree is the delicate manipulation of thin strips of metal that are woven and twisted to form incredible texture and detail. The process of making filigree by hand is methodical and time-consuming, starting with stretching metal into thin, threadlike strips. WHAT DOES 925 MEAN? When a piece of jewelry has 925 stamped on it, almost like a tiny engraving, it means that it is 92.5% silver and 7.5% of another metal. This 925 is called a “hallmark” and indicates high-quality sterling silver. Other hallmarks of superior sterling silver are “STG", "S.S.", or "STER". If it is on your gold piece, you have a gold-plated sterling silver item that is made out of two high-quality metals - silver and gold.
