	JAIC 1982, Volume 21, Number 2, Article 6 (pp. 80 to 85) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		NIELLO IS A LUSTROUS blue-fl substance used to enrich and heighten engraved and chased ornaments and inscriptions on silver, bronze, and gold objects.
		Published analyses suggest that silver niello was used earlier than silver-copper or silver-copper-lead niello: silver niello has been identified on Roman objects from as early as the 2nd century,7 while mixed types have not been found on objects of earlier than medieval dates.
		For the silver-copper niello we have examined, the phase diagram predicts that the phases should be jalpaite and acanthite, both of which were identified in the samples by X-ray diffraction.

	[Ganoksin] Jewelry Making - Theory and Practice of Goldsmithing - Nillo Work
		Niello is a deep fl metal mixture that is fused onto metal for decorative effect.
		As mentioned, niello is generally used to fill recesses which can be made by any mechanical process (engraving, machining, etc.) or by the fabrication process called overlay in which layers of sheet are soldered together to create chambers to hold the niello.
		The niello paste is packed into the recesses with care typically sliding it off a small carrier such as a fine brush (a goosequill is specified in the ancient texts).

	The Niello Watch Case - Artistry in Time by James H. Wolf
		Rose-gold inlay work was also seen in combination with niello and tri-color effects were achieved by the use of rose-gold, niello and silver (Figure 1.) When the niello was heated and fired onto a silver watch case, it actually fused with the silver very strongly, almost as if it were soldered in place.
		The costly niello cases were never produced in quantity by the American factories; however, a few factories or workshops in Switzerland did specialize in case manufacture with an emphasis on decoration and design.
		A niello, in pristine condition, is a rarity and this condition is generally indicative of an "old stock" piece or one that was never carried.

	Tip 2 - Niello (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Niello is a three part metal alloy that may be fused to a parent metal; traditionally gold or silver.
		The process of niello involves two melts – the first one to alloy the separate metals, the second one to fuse the niello to the jewellery or metal object.
		Using a small spatula the niello paste is then heaped into the depressions and is deliberately loaded higher than the level of the base metal to allow for a high level of shrinkage upon fusion.

	Nielloware in Thailand - Present (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Among the reasons for the lack of popularity of Niello are the high costs of the materials, the high cost of the finished objects, the low demand for Nielloware, as well as the high level of skills necessary to produce good quality Niello.
		The owner of the main Niello store in NST noted that large pieces, those weighing between 500 to 1400 grams, are very difficult to sell and in most cases he commissions those larger pieces if only to try to maintain the craft alive.
		The rest of the people who buy Niello buy only small pieces, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, toothpick holders, bell buckles, etc. Most of the small work is still beautiful yet it doesn't reflect the ornate, intricate and delicate qualities exhibited by more complex pieces (personal communication).

		During Capitol Clear Speak, Niello expressed to me that he will NOT make a public statement over his declining of the pay raise, but he agrees that the hike at this time is a bad decision, a mixed message to those who are encouraging Republican politicians to lead the state's budgetary ills to a healthy recovery.
		Niello responded by saying, "the governor is know for his hyperbole...and that is his charm." In telling me this story at the broadcast tent this morning, Niello was concerned that the Bee would leave "and that is his charm" off of the quote.
