FIGLEAF JEWELLERY
Figleaf is an Australian jewellery label inspired by women of the ancient world.
Founded by Patricia Paul, each piece is made from sterling silver gilded in 24 Karat Pure Gold. Patricia aims to create jewels that are both timeless and treasured.
The pieces are lovingly crafted by Master Jewellers who use traditional (and often time consuming) jewellery making techniques that can be traced back to ancient Egypt. These techniques are a dying art passed down from generations, and increasingly rare in jewellery making. The result is stunning pieces that carry a deep sense of originality.
GRANULATION is an ancient technique used for intricate decoration on fine jewellery. Minute grains or tiny balls of gold or silver are skilfully applied to a surface. This method is thought to have its origins in Sumer 5,000 BC
FILIGREE is a delicate and ancient form of jewellery metalwork using fine wire or twisted metal thread, usually gold or silver, complimenting and combining Granulation work.
Our Master Jeweller uses Granulation and Filigree techniques to recreate beautiful pieces of jewellery from antiquity. An unbroken skill going back millenia.
Figleaf is available online as well as selected stockists throughout Australia.
A jewel by Figleaf is truly a piece to treasure.
