I watched this video many many times in the last years. I love to see each image, each scene...I wish I have a simple life in a quiet place, doing a similar job, with my hands. I know it is hard especially there days with so many machine-made jewelries. But in my heart, I know this kind of thing I want to do and live in such a place. Sadly I cannot. I am not so young, my sight is weak...my hands are not very precise anymore. Maybe in another life... I wish all the best to the Kalopedis family. God bless them and their trade.
Looks like a pin vise holding a metal tip with a slit in the middle. Insert the gold ribbon in the slit and spin it. I would imagine there are different shaped tips for texture, hence the use of the pin vice.
At first I wondered why the man had such long nails, but when I saw him use them to stabilize his work then I saw the justice in it! Amazing craft!
Fantastic work!
I feel that fabrication on this level is not emphasized nearly as much as it should be (at least not in the US).
Truly inspiring!
This is such beautiful filgree! I enjoyed watching this video VERY MUCH!
Thankyou for sharing!
EXCELLENT VIDEO, Keep the tradition going!

I would love to learn how to filigree.
wow i love it
WOW!
is he using any solder or is it fused, is that a carbon rod?
I would do filigree if someone would teach me.
Watch the video again. No offense.
