Becar family's filigree and silver-work shop has tradition since 1961. We make ornaments from silver in filigree but also in classic technique. However,  this handicraft belongs to art-crafts. Filigree is specifically remarkable for its beauty, where ornaments are made from thin silver or gold wire that knits and bends almost in perfect forms. This requires handicraftsman's great patience and skill.

This handicraft is present in Bosnia about
500 years but, unfortunatelly, there is much
less workshops where you may see
handicraftsmen making ornaments in this
almost forgotten technique. That's the
reason why filigree is declared as a craft in
short supply. Our aim, on this page, is to
make connection of something traditional
and modern and that is filigree and internet,
and to try in this way to contribute to
presentation and preservation of this almost
forgotten handicraft in the world.
