Chara Collier 925 Silver Niello — Obsidian and Gold Accents

Black on silver, gold in between — and in the center, an obsidian so dark it swallows the light. The Chara necklace is no ordinary piece of jewelry: it bears the same niello hand-engraving that adorns the cups and chalices of the SevChern manufactory — only as a necklace. Two obsidian cabochons (10 mm and 6 mm), set in golden contours, surrounded by floral niello engraving on 925 sterling silver. 45-50 cm long, approx. 23.7 g. A piece of jewelry you touch and immediately feel: this was not stamped, it was engraved.

Obsidian and Niello — two black souls on silver

Obsidian is volcanic glass — formed from cooled lava, black and smooth as a mirror. Niello is a sulfur-silver alloy — hand-melted into the engraving, black and matte as ink. Together on polished silver with golden accents, they create a play of colors that appears cooler than gold jewelry and warmer than silver jewelry. This is the Chara aesthetic: dark, warm, mysterious.

When this necklace is the right gift

Birthday: For women who don't want to wear standard jewelry — a necklace that provokes questions and tells stories.

Valentine's Day and Anniversary: The heart shape of the matching earrings makes the theme clear — but subtle, not obvious.

As a set: Necklace + earrings as a Chara set in a gift box — the complete statement.
