I’m new to filigree too, and have been attempting traditional Norwegian solje. I have a few resources for you. Jeanne Rhodes-Moen has written a book, Silver Threads:Making Wire Filigree Jewelry. Also, Vesterheim Museum in Decorah, Iowa has a Folk School and offers solje classes taught by Liz Bucheit of Crown Trout Jewelers in Minnesota. Rio Grande carries sterling filigree wire, but it’s not in their catalogue- you can find it online with this item # 100831. Hope that helps you!
