Did You Know? The word "filigree" can be traced to the Latin word "filum," meaning thread or wire, and "granum," meaning grain or small bead. The Royal Irish Academy in Dublin contains a number of reliquaries and personal jewels that feature filigree as their most prominent and remarkable ornamentation.
About the Artists. Brian Boru, from whom Boru Jewelry takes its name, became the last High King of all Ireland in 1002 and reigned until 1014. Inspired by this last great king, and with a desire to replicate the values, heritage, skills, and craftsmanship that go into making exquisite handmade Celtic jewelry, Boru creates pieces of jewelry that are handcrafted in Ireland, beautiful in design, and of the finest quality. All Boru craftsmen, who hail from Ireland or Europe, have more than 10 years of experience in their craft.
