It later arrived on the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) in the early 8th century with the Moorish invasions. Spanish Damascene pieces often feature motifs of flowers, birds, and Islamic geometric patterns. The process involves using iron or a copper alloy as the base. Fine lines are incised onto the surface, after which thin sheets of real gold and silver are meticulously shaped into designs and hammered into the grooves. A layer of lacquer is then applied and fired to prevent oxidation and rust of the base metal, followed by polishing and detailed micro-engraving. Finally, the piece is set into jewelry. 【Characteristics of Damascene Craft】 (1) Oxidized metal base: The metal base appears black. (2) Hand-chiseled: Engravings are typically concave with distinct outlines. (3) Cicada-wing thin gold and silver foil: Hand-hammered into the chiseled patterns, incredibly thin and delicate. ★ Era: Approximately 1960s ~ 1970s ★ Origin: Spain ★ Dimensions: Pendant length approx. 2.2 cm (excluding bail) / Chain length approx. 43+5 cm ★ Material: 24k gold alloy inlay with patterned design Our collection of antique Western jewelry primarily features pieces from the 1930s to the 1980s.
