Filigree Craftsmanship: My Unique Language of Expression
Filigree Craftsmanship: My Unique Language of Expression
February is dedicated to the women who make a difference in tourism, raising awareness among the younger generation that even a small desire and initiative to learn something new can lead to earning additional income for a livelihood.
Kajak calls these women local heroines, recognizing their vital role in the development of tourism in Macedonia. Craftsmanship plays a huge part, especially for tourists who are interested in the story behind the product—and the number of such tourists is steadily growing.
Today, we introduce you to Lada Shoptrajanova Petrovska — a violinist, music writer, and, for the past two and a half years, a passionate and joyful filigree artist. After nearly three decades as a professional violinist with the Macedonian Philharmonic and founder and leader of several chamber ensembles, she began expanding her artistic horizons by diving into a new art form called filigree.
Before mastering filigree, Lada wrote music columns for the newspaper Nova Makedonija, some of which she transformed into the book Dreaming.
Filigree caught her attention because it represents a new way of creating art. She believes her love for jewelry-making might not be a coincidence, as her great-grandfather—who sadly passed away before she was born—was a watchmaker and goldsmith. She thinks this might be a genetically predetermined profession.
She crafts jewelry using high-quality silver with purity levels of 999, 950, and 925 millesimal fineness, drawn into wires of varying thickness.
Last May, she created a jewelry collection for Tikveš Winery, which is sold in their exclusive wine boutique. She also frequently participates with her jewelry in themed bazaars. Some of her pieces can be found on the Filigree LARGO Facebook page and on Instagram @filigree.largo.
