German Art Deco Silver & Niello Ring

726H
278 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good stylish silver and niello ring made in Germany circa 1930. The technique used is called “Niello” and was practiced by French, German 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 ring is a good example and looks amazing when worn.
