NOVEMBER 2«. ltftO % Fast and easy craft ideas for Christmas gift giving One of the pleasures of select­ ing gifts is finding exquisite and unusual but affordable gift items. Damascene jewelry makes an ideal gift and carries the mystique inherent in preci­ ous metals and ancient times. ancient Damascus, the art of inlaying precious metals flourished through the ornamen­ tation of armor, statues and jewelry. This art form became known as damascene and was eventually used chiefly in the crafting of jewelry. It was a time-consuming pro­ cess which involved the engrav­ ing of a base metal and then in­ laying a precious metal such as silver or gold. The result was an intricate and exquisite design. Today, this art form has been recreated by Reed & Barton Sil­ versmiths. They have devel­ oped a unique jewelry line that includes necklaces, pins, bracelets, stickpins and ear­ rings. Each piece is crafted with pure silver, burnished copper, bronze, and 24k electroplated gold. These precious metals are incorporated layer upon layer to create a variety of unique de­ signs. Damascene jewelry comes in a wide variety of motifs that make gift giving easy. For spe­ cial nights on the town, give the mystical "Lunar" pendant which is the perfect complement to any evening outfit. For more conservative days at the office, a "Sea Swirl" stickpin makes an ideal gift and will brighten the lapel of any suit. I ppl •m HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING is easy and affordable with Reed & Barton's Damascene Jewelry. Created by inlaying precious metals, the Damascene Jewelry collection includes such un­ ique designs as the "Goldfinch" pendant, the "Lunar" pen­ dant, the "Sea Shell" necklace, the "Americana" bracelet, the "Sea Swirl" stickpin, and the "Tulip Tree" button earrings.
