Vintage Spanish Damascene Bow Drop Pendant on 14k Gold Filled Chain

A ribbon bow tied above a teardrop pendant, both etched in black and gold scrollwork that glints like constellations on a night sky. The charm was made in Toledo, Spain, in the 1960s–1970s, carrying forward a centuries-old damascene tradition of gold inlaid into blackened metal. Silver-tone beaded borders and a central fleur motif give it depth and detail at a delicate scale. Newly paired with a 14k gold filled chain, it is ready for everyday wear and layering.
