The technique — damasquinado — involves hand-inlaying fine gold wire into a blackened steel surface, then burnishing the design flat. The card reads \"con ORO de 24 Kis\" (with 24-karat gold) and names Olias del Rey, one of the main centres of this craft in the Toledo region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motif is a hummingbird or dove in flight among flowers and foliage, worked in two tones of gold against the matte black ground. The surrounding frame is set with small gold-tone petal shapes. The design is hand-worked — no two pieces are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale is compact at 1.2 × 1.2 cm, which keeps them versatile — they sit close to the ear and work as well with a tailored collar as with a loose linen shirt. The clip mechanism is low-profile and comfortable for extended wear. A good choice for anyone who prefers clip-ons that don't announce themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Clip-on earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Olias del Rey, Toledo, Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Blackened steel with 24K gold inlay (damasquinado), gold-tone clip fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1.2 × 1.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: Yes — original card reads \"Damasquinado de Toledo con ORO de 24 Kis.
