In Love With Damascene Jewelry

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

A few weeks back for my birthday, I received the best present from my friend Erin- a damascene pendant. I'm now completely enamored with this beautiful style of jewelry that has its origins in ancient Greece. Damascening is the technique of inlaying different metals into one another. I was so excited when I got it, that my mom ran upstairs and returned with a damascene bracelet and earrings that had belonged to my grandmother- it was like Christmas morning.
