This technique, deeply rooted in Ligurian goldsmith culture, consists of intertwining extremely fine silver wires to create light, airy, and incredibly detailed structures.

The brooch faithfully captures the natural form of a blooming rose, with carefully shaped petals and an openwork structure that adds both lightness and visual depth. The filigree craftsmanship creates an almost textile effect, allowing light to pass through the piece and highlight every detail. Despite its delicate appearance, it remains solid and perfectly wearable.

Perfect for collectors of vintage jewelry, lovers of floral motifs, or anyone who appreciates authentic Italian craftsmanship. Timeless and elegant, it is a versatile accessory capable of enhancing any outfit.
