Vintage Siam Sterling Silver Niello Gray Enamel Tear Drop Pendant

Vintage Siam Sterling Silver Niello Enamel Tear Drop Pendant Necklace

A striking vintage Siam pendant crafted in sterling silver with traditional niello decoration, dating to the 1960s-1970s. The piece features a classic teardrop form with a finely detailed Siamese celestial dancer motif rendered in silver against a dark niello ground, a hallmark of mid-20th-century Siam jewelry.

Niello is a traditional sulphide-based inlay technique used in Siam (Thailand), creating the characteristic deep grey-black background that contrasts beautifully with the raised silver detailing. The dancer motif and overall construction are consistent with authentic Siam export pieces of this era.

The pendant is suspended from a simple black necklace, allowing the focus to remain on the detailed silver niello work.
