Damascene (or Damasquinado de Oro) jewelry is created
by decorating non-precious metals with 18k-24k gold.
Gold foil is hammered into designs engraved in steel.
The process dates back to the Middle Ages.
Toledo, Spain is the largest producer of Damascene today.
The gold on black background creates a very elegant and dramatic look.
Many Damascene designs focus on birds and flowers but it is possible to find Judaica pieces. I look for the more unusual pieces to offer in my collection.
The beaded necklaces here all have a Damascene pendant as the focal point. The necklaces include accent beads from Venice, Czechoslovakian
crystals and Japanese seed beads... very international!
Some pieces are one-of-a-kind and the availability of others
depends on the availability of the pendant itself.
NOTE: All pieces currently shown have been sold but are
displayed to illustrate the possibilities.
If you already own a Damascene pendant,
think about having a necklace created for it.
