Antique Niello and Rose Gold Fetter Link Watch Chain, circa 1900
About the Item
This niello chain was made from a an ancient technique called niello; the ancient art of 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, or black. The designs are created by engraving geometric patterns, stripes, or squares on silver and filling the recesses with a silver, copper, lead and sulphur alloy. The niello links have a polished feel and are strikingly modern looking. The alternating links are a rose gold. The necklace comes with an attached niello clip and bolt ring with their own striped niello design, as can be seen in the photos. The pendant shown in the photos does not come with the chain, it is shown as an example a pendant that works well with niello. This is the rare chain that can look equally well with a silver, rose gold, or black enamel pendant.

- 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.
