Damascene DAMASQUINADO (QVC) Black GOLD BROOCH & Pierced Earrings Toledo Spain

Good condition. Some original packaging.  

his is a lovely Damasquinado de Toledo bird and floral brooch and earring set, made in Spain. The Damasquinado technique involves the etching of 24K gold onto steel and then is finished with a black acid bath. This ancient technique originated in Damascus, Syria and was perfected by the Arabs, who brought it to Spain. The technique is basically the same as its Syrian ancestor. The pieces are a fine example of Damasquinado, showing a Bird of Paradise surrounded by flowers and leafy swirls. The brooch is 1 1/2" x 1-3/16", with a sliding safety catch on the back. The earrings are for pierced ears and are 5/8" x 1/2". Comes from a smoke-free home.
