COLLECTORS ITEMS Up for sale is this sterling silver Niello set made in Siam, silver and black. The pieces are in great condition. Set includes: Earrings with screw backs Pendant Broche Bracelet the middle piece of the bracelet is heartshaped and the remaining 6 are halfmoon shaped. History: Siam was again renamed Siam for a brief period from 1945 to 1949, and it is my belief these were made during that era. These silver and black Thai pieces were popular in the 1950s through '70s, and were produced by a variety of jewelry shops. It is technically "Niello" or "Nielloware", created by carving out areas of the silver, and baking a sulfur/metals powder in the carved out areas. The design often displays Mekkala, the Goddess of Lightning, and represents the Thai version (The Ramakien) of the Buddhist and Hindu Indian legend, Ramayama, about a prince, his wife, his parents (King and Queen of Siam), and the evil king of Ceylon. This set has different figures on them and I don't know who they are.Your guess, or my collector buyers.
