I've split the metal and metallic supplies into misc. charms, birds & bees charms (includes butterflies, too), charms for dolls (includes crowns, hats, shoes, hands...), filigree (this page), decorative and functional.

16mm Filigree Bead Cap
Ornate, finely detailed, 16mm Filigree Bead Cap opens to a 20mm setting. Great bead accent & wrap! The Filigree Butterfly shown in the bracelet sample is below.

Beside using as a standard bead cap, you can hammer it flat to use as a 4-petal flower decoration (like the background of the stacked, riveted earrings at left).

A teardrop-shaped filigree bead/wrap is below.

$1.19/set of 2

 
 

 
 
Morning Glory Heart Filigree
Beautiful, leafy, Art Nouveau-inspired filigree in solid brass with a vintage patina. 30 x 28mm. This design is like half of the Double Vine Filigree.

It can be use "as is" (without bending it) or you can bend it around a cabochon or other object (I'd suggest using Bail-Making Pliers to better control the curves when bending).

For working on the vintage patinaed brass filigrees, I would suggest using "Tool Magic" Rubber Coating with all your tools (unless the extra aging of a few scratches is the look you're aiming at).

$2.99 each
