This is one of those threads that confuse me far too much, with all that piling up of photos of very different pieces.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /> Not ADD and brain damage friendly, so I just retreat.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Anyway, the Chinese ones are bone and have been correctly identified as Fu symbols. Probably 1950s-60s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern mass produced costume, inspired by Indian (Asia) jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Toledo damascene work. Real gold designs hammered into blackened steel, hence the magnetism. Ca 1970s-80s, I think. Toledo is a beautiful historic town south of Madrid.</p><p>Toledo damascene work originally decorated swords and sabres. It is now used for anything smallish and decorative, like jewellery and small objects for home decoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
