A 19th century silver bracelet with pyramidal links, each intricately decorated with niello. Several of the links are stamped with hallmarks indicating it was made in St Petersburg Russia in the 19th century. 

Niello is a black mixture of copper, silver, and lead inlaid into engraved silver. It's a centuries old technique, but it was particularly popular in France and Russia at the end of the 19th century.
