Syria (Damascus and Aleppo) is famous for this industry, and handmade products are exported to Europe due to their precision and international renown. 

Silver is extracted from mines like gold, and unalloyed copper is added to it so that it can be used in the manufacture of silver jewelry. 

Silver is applied to engraved copper to create intertwined patterns of copper and silver, such as on Damascene swords and daggers, as well as on various copper vessels used for decoration. Wood is also inlaid with silver to increase its luster.
