Vintage Spanish Damascene Bird Pendant & Drop Earrings Set

Bold, elegant, and unmistakably Old World.

This vintage Spanish damascene jewelry set features a dramatic oval pendant and coordinating drop earrings, each adorned with intricate gold inlay against a deep black ground. The central motif — a graceful bird surrounded by scrolling florals — reflects the traditional artistry that made Spanish damascene so beloved throughout the 20th century.

The pendant is framed with delicate openwork metalwork that adds dimension and visual presence. The earrings mirror the same bird motif in a slender elongated drop, creating a cohesive and refined silhouette.

Damascene jewelry is created through the labor-intensive technique of hand-inlaying gold into a darkened metal base. The result is a luminous contrast of gold and black that feels both regal and timeless — a signature look associated with classic Spanish craftsmanship.
