hand-crafted filigree

Linhardt Design Studio now carries intricate filigree work from Colombia.

 
ABOVE: INTRICATE HAND-MADE FILIGREE HOOP EARRINGS FROM COLOMBIA; SHOWN IN RECYCLED STERLING SILVER.

Filigree is an ancient technique originating from Spain and Italy. It came to Mompox, Colombia during the Spanish colonization period when the Spanish arrived to this small Colombian town. Mompox was the main port, on the Magdalena river, where all sterling silver and gold was received from the Colombian mines. The Spanish jewelers taught the native people and created a fine legacy to their jewelry making skills of today. Filigree is made by Colombian jewelers with very rudimentary tools. The labor is slow and refined - very delicate sterling threads of different thickness are interwoven in endless circles. This jewelry is hand made using recycled sterling silver, 18k gold or 24k gold vermeil. To this very day, Mompox continues to be the "Colombian Filigree town." The above design as well as other hand-crafted filigree work is now available at the Linhardt gallery.

fringe benefits

Linhardt is commissioned by Fringe star John Noble for his custom wedding rings.

 
John Noble walked into my shop the other day and commissioned wedding rings for him and his wife of many years, Penny. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and were nice enough to pass along my business card to their set stylist. So the stylist walked in today and also pulled earrings from another designer in the shop, May Chen. Congratulations May, on your television jewelry debut! Check out her work at BujiBijoux.com as well as an upcoming episode of Fringe!
