Niello is one of the oldest methods of silver decoration. Niel is an ornamental technique obtained by inlaying silver and other metals with an enamel (generally black, made of silver and lead fused with sulfur) in grooves or incisions made in the material. The renaissance of the niello was in the Victorian era.

In my opinion, the back closure has been modified at some point to make this jewel more wearable and comfortable to wear.
