• Chinese filigree: Former imperial Craft, Now Certified Intangible Cultural Heritage

Chinese filigree inlay art is a delicate kind of jewelry metalwork in which thick gold or silver strings are extracted, heated, and woven into a whole piece without involving casting in the process. The complicated craft is mainly used for the making of imperial luxury ornaments. Chinese filigree art originated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (770-221 BC). Extracting gold or silver threads is a difficult procedure. The thread extracted by hand is more ‘mature,' or in other words, more pliable than the machine-made ones, therefore more suitable for later use. Sometimes a coin-sized piece of work can consumes two meters of thin threads. Three to five years are the basic requirements for an apprentice, but to be qualified as a craftsperson takes longer.

According to UNESCO, “ICH includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, such as…skills to produce traditional crafts.
