Long Niello Silver Guard Chain

95D
423 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good example of a niello silver guard chain made circa 1910.

Niello is a black mixture of copper, silver, and lead sulphides, used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal. It can be used for filling in designs cut from metal. It was and still is a difficult technique to execute so chains such as this one are always sought after.
