Siam
silver
is
a
type
of
silver
that
is
very
collectible.
Siam
(presently
Thailand),
is
the
enchanted
land
depicted
in
the
fantasy
movie
The
King
and
I.
Siam
silver
jewelry
provides
a
contrast
of
colors
between
the
black
field
and
highlighted
silver
design.
This
contrast
of
polished
silver
against
a
black
field
accentuated
by
the
figural
design
of
a
Thai
woman
dancer
in
traditional
costume,
gives
Siamese
silver
jewelry
its
unique
and
distinctive
look.
The
popular
technical
term
for
this
type
of
jewelry
is
niello.
The
technology
dates
back
several
thousand
years
and
was
used
by
the
Egyptians,
Persians,
Greeks,
Celts
and
Romans.
