Metal forging involves heating and shaping metal through methods like casting,
hammering, and spinning. The ancient technique of FILIGREE, dating back to
2500 B.C., creates intricate lace-like designs from fine metal threads and tiny
welded spheres. This delicate craftsmanship is often used in goldsmithery to
produce elegant ornaments.
