Indonesian Filligree
Indonesian Filigree, Contemporary Design with Traditional Craftsmanship is written by the founder of Borobudur Silver, Selly Sagita. It is the only book of its kind throughout Indonesia that aims to unveil one of the many hidden treasures and potential of the Indonesian nation that has revolutionized the silver production industry. It successfully outlines the importance and methods used to restore this lost art.
Until this day the word ‘Filigree’ remains unknown for a large part of the Indonesian community, let alone the sheer diligence and time poured into every piece that is crafted at Borobudur Silver.
The book covers a broad brush scope of the filigree process as a whole through clarifying its aged history and its importance required to foster its existence in today’s day and age including the design journey of filigree to today’s standards.
We are revealed the initial step on how filigree is made, the techniques & materials used to shape jewelry pieces, and the stages of jewelry making right through until its importance of marketing a finished product of this kind on a global scale.
We are also introduced to some of the award winning masterpieces of filigree pieces Borobudur Silver has crafted over the years including complete jewelry collection sets, filigree remakes/replicas of the infamous Borobudur Temple and small scale individual works of art.
Filigree Indonesia has already had a strong impact on the silver industry, and is increasingly becoming iconic in Yogyakarta and the Indonesian community. It aims to build awareness towards the younger generation to conserve this lost process and to reintroduce the filigree technique to all readers.
