Damascene jewelry refers to a type of decorative metalwork that originated in Damascus, Syria, in the Middle Ages. The technique involves inlaying gold or silver onto a base metal, typically iron or steel, to create intricate designs and patterns.

The creative process of making Damascene jewelry involves first creating a pattern or design on the base metal using engraving tools. Then, gold or silver wire is carefully hammered into the grooves of the pattern, creating a raised surface. The piece is then heated and oxidized to create a dark background, which provides a striking contrast to the gold or silver inlay. These age-old techniques result in gorgeous dramatic designs. The craft has remained unchanged over the centuries. Techniques of creating damascene pass from one generation to the next keeping this amazing art form alive.

Today, Damascene jewelry is still produced in Toledo Spain and other parts of the world using traditional methods and is also a popular souvenir and collectible item. Damascene jewelry is known for its intricate designs, attention to detail, and high-quality craftsmanship. It can be found in a variety of forms including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, keychains, cufflinks, plates and other lovely keepsakes

Toledo is most famous for the damasquino swords seen throughout the city and is the world’s largest center of damasquino.
