Not all filigree is done with fine silver. Mine is based in the Norwegian style which is done in sterling or 830(in Norway, not here). Rio made filigree wire when my book came out. If they still carry it, it was order me 100-831. It is sterling, about 1x0.5 mm half hard. Framework, I use around 18 gauge square wire. Using sterling allows a bit more open work to be possible. I will try to attack examples of my work so you can see the difference.
