1000-year-old traditional jewellery craftsmanship from Spain ~ heart

This very striking and special, gold-inlaid heart is handcrafted in the damascene process in Toledo, Spain using 24ct yellow gold and 18ct green gold to create the pattern: It makes a magnificent gift with meaning.

The damascene process etches arabesque or geometric designs into steel and then inlays gold or silver wire until the gold (or silver) has penetrated into the cuts so as to finish the intricate design. The damascene jewellery piece is then 'blued' to produce a black background by oxidation of the surfaces which are not damascened.

These jewellery pieces are something special and of the highest quality, made by artisans employing age-old techniques that date back centuries. Gift one of these special hearts to a friend or loved-one to pass on your best wishes and make them feel appreciated.

Description: The heart (which hangs on either a gold-plated or 9ct gold trace chain - choose in Options box) measures 21mm in length including the hanging bail. The gift is beautifully packaged and contains an information card about damascene jewellery from Toledo, Spain. There are two options of chain: Either an 18" gold-plated trace chain, or an 18" 9ct gold fine trace chain. Please note: each handmade Damascene jewellery piece is a unique design.

Inspire your friends / loved-ones with this very special heart. Ideal Valentine, Communion or Christening present, a get-well gift, or even a small gift on a friend's Engagement or Wedding Day. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents (with an information card) - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
