Silver & Niello Chain with Horseshoe Pendant

163G
Written by Olly Gerrish

For all horse lovers out there! A great silver and niello chain with a horseshoe pendant attached. It was made between 1910-1920. Niello is a black mixture of copper silver and lead sulphides used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal. It is a complicated process and the end result is lovely. It is in good condition and has a small gold applied sections throughout.
