Stunning Vintage Siam Sterling Silver Niello Dress Clip This is a beautiful and authentic piece of vintage Siam Sterling jewelry, crafted in the mid-20th century. A wonderful example of the nielloware technique, this dress clip features a striking contrast between the polished sterling silver and the matte black niello background.

These versatile clips were designed to be worn on a dress neckline, a scarf, a hat, or a fur collar, adding a touch of exotic elegance to any outfit.
