"Reed & Barton Damascene jewelry was inspired by an ancient craft that flourished in Damascus a long, long time ago. This rare new art medium, patented by Reed & Barton and done mostly by hand, gives an exciting dimension to the world's most time honored metals--gold, silver, bronze and burnished copper."
"Every piece of Reed & Barton Damascene jewelry must go through more than twenty different steps, each performed by a highly trained artisan, to achieve the intricate subtle blending of precious metal tone, layer upon layer, into a harmonious work of art."
"Only the dedicated craftsmen of Reed & Barton with their century and a half of accumulated skills and knowledge, could create such deeply beautiful etchings. Moreover, your Reed & Barton Damascene jewelry has been permanently protected with epoxy to not only bring out the ultimate depth and richness of each elegant metal but also to assure that, with normal wear, it will never require cleaning or polishing."~Worthpoint
