Boryana Chaneva and Silvia Galova

Boryana Chaneva and Silvia Galova are jewellery designers and silversmiths who, alongside other artists, form The Filigree Connection, a collective dedicated to presenting filigree in a contemporary context while safeguarding its traditional techniques. Boryana draws inspiration from textile crafts such as knitting, crochet, and embroidery, translating their intricate patterns into silver filigree jewellery. Silvia explores traditional metal crafting techniques, pushing their limits in innovative, contemporary designs. Together, their collections, including pieces created for Milan Jewellery Week 2022, blend texture, colour, geometry, and folkloristic influences, making heritage techniques appealing to modern audiences.
