The Damascene Artwork jewelry and gifts we sell made in Toledo Spain using either combinations of 24kt yellow gold, 18kt green gold (a mixture of silver and gold), and silver in the artwork design. The style and specs refer to the shape of the item which is machine made. HOWEVER, the artwork is meticulously handmade and designed by damascene artisans. Therefore the artwork design of each piece is UNIQUE. Examples of the many unique designs can be seen by viewing our many other listings here. YOUR piece will be similar to one of them. Remember, this is ARTWORK, you will be receiving a handmade design by a Toledo Spain damascene artisan as unique as a painting. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
The procedure is for artisans to hand engrave the surface of an object with deep fine grooves, using sharp cutting tools, in the desired design pattern. Gold or silver wires then pressed into these grooves with a steel punch and hammer. Gold or silver leaf foil (extremely thin sheet of gold or silver) can also be used in the design. The whole piece is then treated with a bluing agent to produce a black background by a total oxidation of the surface which is not damasked. A delicate and light process of chipping gives a lovely sheen to the object. Finally, the piece is mounted to give the very dramatic looking final product.
