From the country now known as Thailand, an exotic sterling silver bracelet and matching size 7 wrap around ring. These pieces are marked "Siam Sterling".

Popular from the 1950s into the 1970s, the silver and black Thai jewelry pieces were produced by many jewelry shops. Called "Niello" or "Nielloware", this jewelry is created by carving a design in the Sterling Silver. The carved sections are then filled with a sulfur/metals powder, and baked. The most popular design is of Mekkala, the Goddess of Lightning, who represents the Thai version (The Ramakien) of the Buddhist and Hindu Indian legend, Ramayama, about a prince, his wife, his parents (King and Queen of Siam), and the evil king of Ceylon.
