The secret behind Nielloa's material duet
In a world full of colors, there are combinations that are more than just beautiful. They tell stories. They sound like poetry in metal.
At Nielloa, the duo of silver and black is not a design trend – it is a statement.
The splendor of eternity
Silver represents purity, elegance, and permanence. It is the metal of the gods, of celebrations, of family.
For centuries, Russian and European art has not only forged silver, but also refined it . With symbols, with engraving, with niello .
The depth of expression
And then the black comes in. Not as a flaw, but as a voice.
Niello —a mixture of silver, copper, and sulfur—is melted deep into the engravings. It darkens the interior and allows the form to shine.
Light and dark. Line and surface. Feeling and memory.
A thought in light, a feeling in shadow.
So speaks Nielloa.
Why this material duo?
Because it makes polarity visible.
Because it shows the human in metal .
Because black gives depth – and silver carries meaning.
And because every Nielloa piece not only shines, but also tells a story .
Nielloa – Silver Ink
Whoever touches Nielloa touches a piece of history.
The combination of light and dark, of form and feeling, is more than technique – it is the language of engraving .
