Antique Silver and Gold Niello Fob Pendant Linked with Locket, circa 1890
About the Item
The rare fob pendant that is 3 pieces in 1; it includes a beautiful large niello dog clip which attaches to 3 niello links which further attaches to a 2 compartment round locket, .75 inches in diameter.. Long and elegant, the dog clip allows you to connect the pendant from any metal chain. The beauty of niello is that the colors work equally well with yellow gold, rose gold, silver, or even a niello chain. The locket has 2 compartments from which to hold photos.
This niello technique derives from the Latin form of niger, meaning black. The jewelry artist would start with a design a pattern on paper, usually floral or geometric. He would then engrave the pattern on silver, and by filling the recesses with a silver, copper, lead and sulphur alloy he would create a strikingly geometric and modern pattern on the silver piece. Niello has a very characteristic look, and once you have seen it, it is very recognizable.

- 14K Rose Gold Silver and Amethyst FobLocated in Venice, CAThis mixed-metal piece combines 14k rose gold and silver in the beautiful floral and foliate motif of an open work cone. A rose gold flower dangles in silhouette, surrounded by a frame of silver leaves. At the bottom is a deep purple amethyst, emerald cut and bezel set.
