The Florentine Fretwork is a traditional technique of the goldsmith's art that consists of manually piercing thin sheets of precious metal following a design, creating complex and visually light decorations. This processing, performed entirely by hand, is one of the distinctive elements of the Stile Orafo Fiorentino, developed over the centuries from the Renaissance tradition.
Jewellery made using the Florentine fretwork technique is recognisable by the drawing accuracy, l’balance between solids and voids and the executive complexity, characteristics that highlight the goldsmith's skill and give each creation a ’unique' character.’unique craft identity.
