It was later introduced to the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) in the early 8th century with the Moorish invasions. Spanish Damascene pieces primarily feature floral and bird motifs, as well as Islamic geometric patterns. Fine lines are etched onto the surface, after which patterns are created from thin sheets of real gold and silver, hammered and inlaid. A layer of lacquer is then fired on to prevent oxidation and corrosion of the base metal. This is followed by polishing, intricate micro-engraving, and finally, the setting into jewelry. 【Characteristics of Damascene Craftsmanship】 (1) Metal Base: The metal base has a black appearance. (2) Hand-Chiseled: Engravings are typically concave, with distinct outlines. (3) Cicada-Wing Thin Gold and Silver Foil: Hand-hammered into the chiseled grooves, these foils are delicate and fine. ★ Origin: Spain ★ Dimensions: (Pendant only) Main pendant length approx. 3.6 cm / Chain length approx. 45 + 5 cm ★ Material: 24k gold alloy inlay pattern Our collection of antique European jewelry mostly dates from the 1930s to the 1980s!
