I have no experience on this type of work and hope someone here might be able to pitch in. This bracelet is beautifully made. No comparison to any damascene I currently have, but because there seems to be a HUGE price difference between the two, I want to be sure I will be listing this correctly.
Back stamped SILVER 950, a tiny K24 stamp on the last link. Front sticks to a magnet, so I'm assuming the base is iron. Opinions please? Many thanks.

Shaduko has raised relief on it, damascene is flat, so I would say Damascene. Just my opinion.

It is Japanese damascene on iron/steel,the more expensive pieces are done on shakudo with the same techniques. The real Japanese name is "zogan inlay" which has 6/8 different techniques,shakudo is carved in some pieces like a tsuba,but most are flat surfaces.
