Spanish Damascene Inlay Pattern Bracelet / Vintage American Jewelry

Inlaid merchandise—known as damasquinado or damasquino in Spanish—is the art of decorating steel with gold and silver wire. Damascening is the art of inlaying different metals into one another. (typically inlaying gold or silver into a dark, oxidized steel background) to produce intricate patterns reminiscent of niello. The English term comes from a perceived similarity to the rich brocade patterns of damask silk. Cities with a long history of damascening still practice the technique, including in Malaysia, Indonesia, Toledo, Spain, Eibar in the Basque Country, and Kyoto, Japan. ______________________________________ Vintage jewelry will inevitably show signs of age, but this does not affect its functionality or aesthetic appeal.
