A beautiful vintage mid-century damascene-style necklace featuring a series of black medallions decorated with intricate gold-tone birds, flowers, foliage, and scrolling motifs.

Each of the smaller round medallions carries its own individual design, leading to a larger central pendant depicting a bird surrounded by delicate floral ornament. The rich black ground provides a dramatic contrast to the warm gold decoration, giving the necklace the distinctive appearance associated with Japanese damascene jewelry of the period.

The articulated medallions are joined individually and finished with a fine gold-tone chain, allowing the necklace to drape gracefully around the neckline.
