A filigree ring is one that uses delicate, elaborate metal scroll work as a primary design element instead of multiple accent gems. Filigree patterns are simply beautiful constructs without any cultural significances and one such example of filigree rings is Celtic engagement rings.

From Encyclopedia Britannica
-- quote --
Filigree - decorative art
delicate, lacelike ornamental openwork composed of intertwined wire threads of gold or silver, widely used since antiquity for jewelry. The art consists of curling, twisting, or plaiting fine, pliable metal threads and soldering them at their points of contact with each other and, if there is one, with the metal groundwork.
