It later arrived on the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) in the early eighth century with the Moorish invasions. Spanish Damascene pieces predominantly feature motifs of birds and flowers, alongside Islamic geometric patterns. The process involves using a base metal, such as iron or a copper alloy, which is finely incised. Thin sheets of real gold and silver are then meticulously hammered into these grooves to form the design. A layer of lacquer is applied and fired to prevent oxidation and rust of the base metal, followed by polishing. Finally, intricate micro-engraving techniques are employed before the piece is set into the jewelry. 【Characteristics of Damascene Craftsmanship】 (1) Oxidized metal base: The metal base has a dark, almost black appearance. (2) Hand-chiseled engravings: Typically, the carvings are concave, with well-defined outlines. (3) Cicada-wing thin gold and silver foil: Hand-hammered into the chiseled patterns, the foil is exceptionally delicate and fine. ★ Era: Approximately 1960s - 1970s ★ Origin: Spain ★ Dimensions: Width approx. 5.3 cm / Height approx. 2.7 cm ★ Material: 24K gold inlay with deeply carved floral patterns Our collection of antique Western jewelry primarily dates from the 1930s to the 1980s!
