This charming town is renowned for its artisans specializing in handcrafted silver and gold filigree.

About

For those who enjoy immaculate, quaint towns to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, Chordeleg is the place for you. This charming town is famous for its jewelry production, a nod to which you can see in the giant earrings hanging from the street lamp posts. The craftsmen of Chordeleg are specifically skilled in filigree, the art of rolling silver into a wire-thin strand and manipulating each piece by twisting it into a complex design. The result is a beautiful, delicate piece of jewellery, be it earrings, rings, a necklace or other decorative accessories. The streets lining the town square are filled with silver stores run by local artisans, where you can often see them crafting their goods for sale while you shop. The prices are great and bartering is expected, so don’t be afraid to ask for a bargain!
