Filigree is a white marking that appears as elegant swirls that branch out of other white markings, including free white.
Filigree must be attached to another white marking.
Filigree will always reach "out" of other markings, and will never "cut in" to them or make them smaller.
Filigree may reach across from one marking to another, connecting them. (ie: Tobiano and Splash)
Filigree will not appear along edges created by somatic.
Filigree can be completely hidden, and does not have to interact with all white markings present.
Filigree will always have crisp, smooth edges.
Filigree may have minimal free floating bits (such as dots or flourishes) that act as accents, so long as they remain near the edge of the full connected marking no more than the space of an eye away. It should never appear to be creating its own new white marking on the horse that is not connected to an existing white marking.
- Cuirass, Crowned, Shroud: All modifications made to a Cuirass, Crowned, and/or Shroud marking by Filigree will be symmetrical.
- Ossuary: Modifications made to an Ossuary marking by Filigree may be symmetrical although it is not required.
- Roan, Blanched, False Leopard, Rabicano: Filigree does not interact with white markings that have blended, gradual, or gradient edges.
- Dom White, Sabino, Varnish Roan, Few Spot, Snow Cap: Filigree will always come off the main body of the marking and will be unaffected by broken, speckled or grainy edges. It will not create swirls off of freckles on the coat.
- Vitiligo: Filigree does not interact with Vitiligo as it is a lack of pigmentation in the skin and hair and not a white marking.
