A pair of antique c1890 niello decorated silver watch chains connected together to form a 24.5 inch 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, Germany, and Russia at the end of the 19th century.
