It is an ancient craftsmanship and found in Turkey originally. The word, “kazaz” means, the person who produces and/or sells silk yarns. Technique of weaving this beautiful jewelry uses 0.08 or 0.09 millimeter (approximately the thickness of a hair) pure gold or pure silver wire wrapped around either silk or nylon threads.
