Damascene…what’s that?

Damascening is the art of inlaying different metals into one another—usually gold or silver into a darkly oxidized steel background—to produce intricate patterns on jewellry and ornaments. This term comes from a perceived resemblance to the rich tapestry patterns of damask silk.

Handcrafted by master craftmen, the beautiful, decorative designs make them highly desirable collectibles.

If you appreciate this artform, then you will certainly love these cufflinks!
