Spanish Damascene Craftsmanship Geometric Long Triangle Pearl Pendant Vintage Clip-On Earrings

Inlaid work—known as *damasquinado* or *damasquino* in Spanish—is the art of decorating steel with threads of gold and silver. Damascening is the art of inlaying different metals into one another (typically gold or silver into a darkened, oxidized steel background), producing intricate patterns similar to niello. The English term derives from a perceived similarity to the rich brocade patterns of damask silk. The technique continues to be practiced in cities with a long history of damascening, including in Malaysia, Indonesia, Toledo, Spain, Eibar, Basque Country, and Kyoto, Japan. ______________________________________ As this collection is quite old, expect more signs of wear.
