Contact me if this is returned
A c1900 niello watch chain, long enough to wear as a necklace, with alternating links of inlaid silver and gold. 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 at the end of the 19th century.
