Art Deco Silver & Niello Bangle

697H
411 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart Art Deco silver bangle with a striking 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 item was then polished. Quite a process but a stunning result!
