<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 291500, member: 2844&quot;]It used to be done in several places, I had a French 19th century brooch with the same style Damascene work. It was gold inlaid damascene all over, with a small gold medallion of a French saint in the centre.</p><p>Nowadays we associate it with Toledo, but this brooch doesn&#039;t look like the antique Toledo work I know. The black is in pristine condition, which is unusual for antique Toledo. Not that I&#039;m saying it isn&#039;t Toledo, but it could be French, or another place with a 19th/20th century damascene tradition.</p><p>Then there is Japanese damascene &#039;Shakudo&#039; like work, but that has very Japanese motifs.</p><p>Have you seen this site:</p><p><a href="http://milkywayjewels.com/damascene/Damascene.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://milkywayjewels.com/damascene/Damascene.html" rel="nofollow">http://milkywayjewels.com/damascene/Damascene.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
