Vintage Spanish Damascene Panel Link Bracelet

Description
Scrolling fleur motifs in gold unfold across each panel, crossed by beaded bands of silver like starlight caught in lattice. This 1960s–1970s bracelet carries the Toledo damascene tradition of Spain, where gold and silver are inlaid into blackened metal in patterns rooted in Moorish design. Nine shaped links with scalloped ends move fluidly on double jump rings, sitting flat and easy on the wrist. A classic piece to stack with gold or wear alone.
