    Hello Jerry; As far as I know, the "damascene" overlay you refer to
    is not overlay but actually inlay.  Refer to Oppi Untracht's book,
    Metal Techniques for Craftsmen, pages 134-158 for a few techniques of
    this sort.  I'm afraid it's not a simple trick, but rather a method
    requiring patience, practice and perseverance.  I've done a few
    pieces in this manner and it's quite satisfying, in my opinion, when
    one succeeds.
