Silver ​& Niello Chequerboard Design Bracelet

602H
421 Admirers

A stunning Art Deco silver bracelet with a chequerboard design. The technique used is called “Niello” and was practiced by French and Russian jewellers. They heated, to melting, a mixture of silver, copper, sulphur and lead to create a gunmetal or charcoal grey tone, and poured it on to silver which had previously been gouged with minute continuous patterns that were geometric or taken from nature. The jewel was then polished. This bracelet is in fine condition throughout.
