Gold Filigree is a manually intensive and extremely intricate ancient Chinese Craft. We designed a stylized Silk Cocoon broche where a delicate gold thread, cage-like structure, contains a crystalline Jade moth. This is a unisex piece, hanging on a short chain of 10 links, the cocoon swings into movement when the wearer moves.
