A gorgeous 19th century silver Niello chequerboard hinged bangle.

The chunky bangle has the supercool chequerboard design the entire way around.

Hinging open using an invisible push clasp, the bangle fits a small to medium sized wrist.

The clasps bears a clear Austrian hallmark of the ‘Diana’ head and town mark for Vienna circa 1870.

The chequerboard is in fantastic condition with only minor areas of wear to the niello design.

The clean lines and geometric pattern look super modern, even though it was designed over 100 years ago!

‘Niello’ is the term for the technique of melting a mixture of silver, copper, sulphur and lead to create a gunmetal/charcoal grey tone. This mixture is poured over silver which has been pre-scored, to create the desired pattern.

It was extremely popular with French and Russian jewellers in the 19th century.

Bracelets & Bangles:

How your bracelet fits is a personal preference.
To check your preferred size, wrap a tape measure loosely around your wrist to the tightness you would like your bracelet to fit.
From the end of the tape measure to the point where it crosses the tape is your desired bracelet length.
Please compare this to the measurements specified on each of our bracelet product pages.
Note, some bracelets are adjustable – this will be mentioned in the description.
Note, if a bangle does not have an opening, you must select one that will pass over your fist.
 
 

Necklaces

All The Old Cut chains and necklaces have the total length detailed in the description.
The measurement will be in cm and inches.
We recommend you place a tape around your neck to see where the chain will sit.
Below is a basic guide to show some popular lengths – note, everyone’s neck is different, so this is just a basic guide.
