Abstract The paper tries to show the essential role played by a brazing process in the manufacturing of filigree and granulation decorated ancient jewels. A purely experimental framework is proposed. Reasons for such a methodological choice are outlined and general protocols for a standard experiment are provided. Specific advantages for the accomplishment of the manufacturing process in all its stages are shown to be related to the employment of a fluid brazing solution. The concordance of the…

The Newcomen Society is the only existing organised body devoted exclusively to the study of the historical side of technology, and as such is in an excellent position to act as a clearing house for all information on the subject and, by suggesting lines of investigation hitherto but little explored, to stimulate whatever latent desire for research there may be amongst us.
