This oval Spanish damascene brooch works its dark ground with confident geometry and gold tone inlay building from a central geometric medallion through radiating angular frames and into foliate scrollwork at the tips. The effect is both bold and intricate, with the quality of inlaid tilework compressed into something you can actually wear.
