Mompox, Colombia - Mompox Filigree





MOMPOX FILIGREE
There is a tradition of filigree craftsmanship that dates back to the founding of one of the first towns in Colombia, a small riverside port called Mompox. It is here that rich merchants settled and brought both, vast quantities of gold and silver as well as the filigree style from Europe that generations of families made their own by dedicating their lives to this meticulous technique. Mompox over the years became isolated by the changing direction of the river and its colonial heritage (a world heritage site since 1995) remains to this day a small isolated community due to past terrorist violence in the surrounding areas and its hard to reach riverside location.
