Tiesh, one of Sri Lanka’s leading contemporary jewellers celebrated the quintessential Sri Lankan woman with the launch of a dazzling range of imported Italian filigree jewellery with intricate and exquisite craftsmanship.
The exclusive champagne soirée at its flagship showroom at 253, RA de Mel Mawatha was an exclusive Ladies-Only event, to mark International Women’s Day and celebrated its loyal female clients.
“This is a collection specially imported from the best Italian manufacturers with the modern Sri Lankan lady in mind. Every piece is unique and totally different to the other. In fact what’s interesting about this collection is its special transformative aspect, where for instance a piece could be worn either as a necklace or a bracelet. Our very special ring which transforms into a bangle is by far the hottest item from our new collection and, I believe, a must have this season” said Founder/Managing Director Lasantha De Fonseka
This dazzling Italian filigree collection comprises necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants and rings, all of which bring out the sheer intricacy and timeless appeal of the magic of filigree work.
Derived from the Latin word “filum” (meaning thread), filigree is an ancient art form that has been appreciated as far back as 2500 B.C. Twisted and formed to closely resemble lace, filigree refers to the openwork design of an exquisitely entwined bouquet of fine silver, gold or other metal threads. This lacing of metal was originally used to decorate personal ornaments including manuscript covers, armour, crosses and royal crowns.
