metal inlay

Metal inlay is a decorative technique where thin strips of metal, such as gold, silver, or brass, are carefully embedded into a surface—often wood, stone, or ceramic—to create intricate patterns or designs. This process involves carving a recess into the base material to fit the metal precisely, enhancing the object's visual appeal and often increasing its value. Metal inlay is commonly used in fine furniture, jewelry, and decorative arts to add a touch of elegance and craftsmanship detail.
