Austro-Hungarian antique niello bangle

Niello has such a wonderful look and feel to it, and contrary to popular thought, niello is actually not an enamelling technique, rather it is a blackening technique produced as an alloy of sulfur with copper, silver and lead. Once produced it is then used to fill the channels that have been previously engraved into the metal, and after a few more steps including polishing, the result is a wonderful contrast of colours in often a beautiful design as can be seen in this antique niello bangle.

Made in the former Austro-Hungarian empire in the 1890’s, the design on both sides is so attractive and also in a design that will easily allow it to be worn with other antique jewellery as well as modern and fit right in. With such an intricate design, this bangle will have you admiring it each and every time it in on your wrist.

Measuring 12.5mm wide, this bangle will always look amazing day or night.
