Damascus Originating from the Arab Toledo process, the forging technique of interlocking metals with each other was used in the early decoration of swords and swords. The Arab army invaded Europe and was introduced to Spain in the 1st century. In medieval Europe, the town of Toledo became an important craft center. In the 1950s, Toledo craftsmanship was integrated into the production of Spanish jewellery. The crafting experience and skill of the masters all depended on the craftsmanship, and they could not rely on machines. The production process is complicated. The master beats 24K gold leaf and sterling silver foil to the iron sheet to make the pattern of brocade silk. Finally, the charcoal on the embossed pattern is polished with a mallet to reveal the beautiful embossed pattern, so it is called "black gold brocade technique." . Because of the local Islamic beliefs, mostly flowers, birds, and symmetrical geometric patterns, different elements such as dancers, flower fans, and sailboats began to appear in the later period. They have exotic and historical beauty, and are exquisite crafts that cannot be matched by modern times. / Know Before You Buy/ ✓ The product photo scenes are all taken under natural light, and the actual items will be slightly brighter and have a beautiful luster. ✓ Antique jewelry has the beautiful traces left by the years, please do not buy it under the standard of "new product" ✓ Except for special circumstances such as damaged accessories, broken items, and wrong products, it is not possible to return goods for reasons such as "not in line with imagination, dislike after wearing, color not as expected, and not new".
