DAMASCENING - DAMASCENE JEWELRY

The process of manufacture, which today conjugates an inherited spirit with an instrumental progress, is based on the preparation of untempered pieces of iron or steel, giving them the exact shapes, afterwards proceeding with a careful scratching with very sharp and very hard steel knives, giving very compact and very close cuts in three different directions until a roughness is formed. On this base, the gold thread is embedded, pressing with a burin, accomplishing rich drawings. The gold is fixed with a subsequent and light "hammering". The slits are closed fixing the gold. The final operation is the bluing or complete oxidizing of the steel, which takes a deep black colour which makes more outstanding the drawings of the embedded gold.
