A pair of c1890 niello watch chains, each with unusual detailing and rose-gold-filled elements, linked together to form a necklace.
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.
