Productdetails

This is a stunning vintage Japanese Damascene jewelry set featuring a large necklace pendant and a matching link bracelet. The circular necklace pendant is suspended from a substantial gold-tone curb chain. The central design showcases an intricately detailed griffin or mythical winged creature in striking gold and yellow metal inlay against a dark, possibly oxidized or blackened steel background. The Damascene technique, known as Zōgan in Japanese, creates a rich contrast and texture. Surrounding the central medallion is an elaborate filigree frame of gold-tone metal, formed by delicate, lace-like wirework. The matching bracelet features multiple links each showcasing a classic Japanese Damascene landscape scene typically including mountains, pagodas, or birds, rendered in the same high-contrast gold-inlay technique. **bracelet is missing safety chain**
