C.1920 Gold and Silver Niello Twisted Loop-in-Loop Chain
About the Item
At 65 inches, this is an Niello chain in its original length and is a classic loop-in-loop design dating from ancient times, in which the individual loops are soldered before assembly. With alternating rose gold and niello patterned links and the large size of the links, the chain has a modern, almost sepia toned look that we love.
Niello refers to an ancient technique of decorating silver which was revived in the 19th century and adopted by English jewelry artisans. The word niello derives from the Latin form of Niger, meaning black. The patterns are created by engraving geometric or floral patterns on silver and filling the recesses with an alloy of silver, copper, lead and.
Our chain includes a silver bolt ring and dog tag which function as both a clasp which opens and closes the chain, and place to hang your pendant. The chain may be worn two or three times around the neck with a pendant or without.
The last photo in our array shows our 4 niello watch chains and how they look side by side. This chain is indicated with a #3 written to the left.

- Chunky 9ct Double Fetter and Triple Love Knot Albert Chain, 18 inchesLocated in Baltimore, MDEach double fetter link on our 18” chunky Victorian albert chain is connected to 3 love knot links with the pattern repeats eight times. The T-bar and dog clips are stamped 9 carat. Alberts are named for Prince Albert who popularized the wearing of a vest with pocket watch and a fob on a chain, the watch in the vest pocket, with fob and T-Bar dangling. Our chain combines the fetter link and love knot link. Longer links like the fetter link were used to cut down on the laborious process of making and assembling many smaller links. We love the double fetter link and triple love knot combination which continues the pattern to the top of the chain with two matching dog clips, which serve as clasps for easily connection and removal. We also love the beefiness of the double fetter links and the love knots as compared to the slim links of most albert chains. The final image shows how our chunky Albert looks next to our 15 carat albert chain...Category
