One of the celebrated eight imperial crafts, including jade carving and cloisonne of ancient China, filigree inlay dates back over 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). This intricate craft peaked during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, often used to create opulent jewelry, ceremonial ornaments and royal artifacts.
