Authentic Damascene involves hand-oxidizing steel black and inlaying real 24k gold or sterling silver foil patterns.Faux Damascene / Tourist Trade: Around the 1950s–1970s, as Spain experienced a major tourism boom, high-quality gold-plated brass alloys featuring enamel work (like the white inlay on these earrings) were manufactured stamped simply "SPAIN" to capture the look of classic Toledo luxury. These became incredibly popular and are highly collected today for their sturdy build and ornate, Art Deco/Victorian Revival aesthetics. Pickup category timeslot {A}
