Filigree was introduced to the Americas by the conquering Spaniards, who in turn inherited the technique from the influx of Arabs to Spain during the era of Al-Andalus.
The technique was widespread in the Middle East thanks to new ideas introduced via the Silk Road and became a specialisity amongst the Jewish community, to whom every other community would flock for intricate filigree work.
