Sardinian filigree art is becoming increasingly popular, with a 15% increase in exports in recent years. Each craftsman has their own unique style and each area of Sardinia has its own tradition of filigree, which makes each piece unique and unrepeatable.

Sardinian filigree objects are not only jewels, but also decorative objects such as candlesticks, vases, photo frames and much more. Silver is the metal most used in Sardinian filigree, followed by copper and gold.

The Sardinian filigree technique has been influenced by cultures that have had contact with Sardinia, such as the Phoenicians, the Arabs and the Catalans. These influences can be seen in the designs and motifs used in Sardinian filigree. It was originally intended for the wealthier classes of Sardinian society; however, over time it has become more accessible and today it is enjoyed by people of all social classes.
