It is in perfect conditions. 14K gold ( touchstone tested ).  The word comes from the Latin “filum granum” i.e. thread grain which represents the form in which the filigree is made joining together very thin wires ( of gold or silver ) round, flat, twisted etc.. also with grains or other decorating elements.
This technique demands very high skills and precision from the goldsmith. For more information on the filigree please visit our news section : www.preciousandantique.com/en/the-filigree
