Chara Set 925 Silver Niello — Necklace and Earrings with Obsidian

Two pieces, one signature: The Chara Set combines a necklace and earrings from the Nielloa collection in a gift box. Niello hand-engraving on 925 silver, cabochon stones in gold settings, and floral ornaments that extend from the neck to the ears—when worn together, both pieces create an image that cannot be achieved individually.

Material and Workmanship

Both pieces bear the same signature: Niello hand-engraving on 925 sterling silver, framed by floral ornaments and gold accents. Each setting holds two cabochon stones, which add a calm color accent to the ornaments. Atelier SevChern in Veliky Ustyug produces Niello jewelry using a centuries-old inlay technique, where a dark silver alloy chemically fuses with the base metal—no lacquer, no coating, but a permanent bond.

Usage and Occasions

Given as a set, the recipient doesn't have to consider what matches—the necklace and earrings share motifs, stones, and technique, immediately forming a harmonious ensemble in the box. This makes the Chara Set a personal gift for special occasions: for a birthday, if you want to give a style that few people in Germany know; for Christmas, if more than a single piece of jewelry should be under the tree; or for an anniversary, where silver and gold together symbolize permanence.

Care

Clean both pieces with a soft, dry cloth. You should avoid silver dip cleaners, as they can damage the Niello inlay. Since Niello is chemically bonded to the silver, the contrast between bright silver and dark engraving remains for years and, with careful maintenance, deepens rather than fades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Chara Set?

A necklace (length approx. 45-50 cm, weight approx. 23.7 g, with 2 cabochon stones) and a pair of earrings (approx. 56 × 17 mm, weight approx. 9.6 g, with 2 cabochon stones), together in a gift box.

Can I buy the necklace and earrings separately?

Yes. Both pieces are also available individually, for example, if you only want to give one piece or want to complete the set later.

How do I care for jewelry with Niello inlay?

A soft cloth is sufficient for daily care. Avoid aggressive dip cleaners—with normal, careful maintenance, the contrasts of the Niello engraving will sharpen rather than weaken over time.
