Additional Information

Damascene jewelry, a centuries-old craft originating in Spain, is celebrated for its intricate inlay work of precious metals into a contrasting darkened base. This technique is widely recognized for its historic craftsmanship, especially in Toledo, Spain, where skilled artisans have perfected the art for generations. Damascene jewelry often features beautiful designs, such as gold floral motifs, contrasted by dark enamel. This style was especially popular during the 1980s, a decade known for its resurgence in vintage and ornate jewelry. The filigree detail surrounding the damascene work adds a delicate and intricate touch, representing the fine artisanship that has long been associated with Spanish jewelry.
