Here's more about this type of piece: Damascene Technique: True Damascene involves inlaying precious metals into a base metal, creating a contrast, while "Toledoware" or "Damascene style" pieces often feature designs painted onto a blackened surface, sometimes with added white detailing for highlights. Origin: Damascene jewelry, particularly the style seen in your image, is famously associated with Toledo, Spain, where it became a prominent craft, particularly from the 1950s and 1960s onwards.
