Gold inlay traces a long-tailed bird, leafy vines and a zigzag border on the ring, and a single blossom on the disc, like a moon held in orbit. Japanese damascene of the 1960s–1970s often carried these delicate nature motifs, inlaid in gold against oxidized steel. The center drop moves freely with every step. It hangs from a fine faceted gold-tone chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGold-tone metal, damascene steel with gold inlay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small gold seal mark inlaid at the top of the ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\/design notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open ring pendant with a free-swinging center disc; long-tailed bird, vine and blossom motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone or material notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold inlay on dark brown damascene steel, prong-set in gold-tone frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring ring clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition, with surface scratches and tone wear on the back of the pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5\" chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCollected by Mineral and Matter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral and Matter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68252089155819,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/9569\/files\/birddamascene_9.png?v=1792881216","url":"https:\/\/mineralandmatter.com\/products\/vintage-japanese-damascene-bird-and-flower-pendant-necklace","provider":"Mineral and Matter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
