The pendant is made of steel with 18kt and 22kt gold inlay producing its beautiful design.

Damascening (the art of Damasquinando in Spanish) is the inlaying of different metals into one another-typically, gold or silver into a darkly oxidized steel background-to produce intricate patterns similar to niello. The English term Damascene comes from a perceived resemblance to the rich tapestry patterns of damask silk.
